ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 

 

The Oncore™ receives electrical power and receives/transmits I/O signals through a 10-pin power & data 
connector mounted on the Oncore™. Refer to Figure 1 for pin numbering. 
 
The following table lists the assigned signal connections of the Oncore™ receiver’s power and data 
connector.

ADAPTING THE OSX ANTENNA CONNECTOR 

 

The OSX antenna connector used on the Oncore™ GPS board will normally need to be adapted to an 
SMB or BNC connector to match connectors commonly found on GPS antennas. An adapter can easily be 
made using a short piece of RG-174 coaxial cable with the desired antenna connector.
