Figure 19. Mini- and
micro-fit style connector
numbering
This Appendix contains pinout and electrical
specifications for the external and internal ports and
connectors on the H8S microcontroller, motor-power
interface, and User Control boards.

Note that layered connectors are numbered
differently, depending on the socket type. IDC ones
are odd and even layers; mini- and micro-fit
connectors use successive-position numbering.
See the Figures nearby for examples.

Power Connector
The power connector is a 3-pin microfit socket that delivers 12VDC (battery) to the
microcontroller circuitry and separate, conditioned 5 VDC to the sonar, including power
grounds.
