UPI Panel Connections

This section describes the payload connections on the bottom of the IF800.

IF800 Universal Payload Interface (UPI) Panel

Beneath each IF800 vehicle is a panel with three connectors. The connectors consist of three Harwin Datamate J-Tek connectors: M80-5C11205MU (12-Pin), M80-5C11405MU (14-Pin), & M80-5C11005MU (10-Pin).

By default, the 12 and 14-pin connectors (labeled A & B respectively) come populated with the dovetail quick-release assembly connectors, which adhere to the Pixhawk Payload Bus Standard. The 10-pin connector (C) is an auxiliary connector meant to provide additional connections when the dovetail quick-release assembly is in use.

This documentation is useful for customers using a payload that does not mount using the dovetail quick-release, or that need additional connections from the auxiliary connector (C) in combination with the dovetail quick-release.

Before removing or installing the Harwin connectors & dovetail quick-release assembly and Harwin connectors, please visit the Payload Mounting section of the IF800 Handbook (Page 16) for instructions on how to safely do so. Or Click HERE.
