    Gps connector

    Hi Sander. I have to do some custom wiring which requires making my own connectors for the EzOSD. I need to make up a longer GPS linkage. So far I figured out you use locking MOLEX connectors for most of the linkages, but I am stumped on the little white GPS connectors! Who makes those things? I can order from Newark if you can provide some identifying info. Thanks!

    Happy New Year by the way.

    They're Molex Picoblade connectors, that should narrow it down

    I wondered about doing this - you up for making two cables?

    Sander was 1/2 right. One of the connectors is 5-pin picoblade. The other is Harwin 6 pin, 1mm. I finally have the parts on order (mouser):
    5 pin 1.25 spacing: Molex 51021-0500
    6 pin 1.00 spacing: Harwin 855-M40-1100600

    Sander, is there a reason you use such heavy gauge wire (28) instead of 30 or 32 gauge ribbon?

    Scotttu - it might be a while before I get to it, but I can mail you one each of the connectors when they come in. PM me.
