- Wire gauge: #26–30 AWG.
- Wire strands: 7 or more.
- Wire insulation outer diameter: 0.8 to 1 mm.
- Conductor material: copper.
- Length: 25±10 mm each.
Optional tools
Refer to the UAVCAN UCANPHY Micro Patch Cable assembly specification.
Manual assembly instructions
Wire strip requirements:
- Outer insulation strip length (if any): 10 to 20 mm.
- Wire insulation strip length: 1.5 mm.
...
- Cut the leads of the resistor so that each lead is approximately 5 mm long.
- Solder two short wires directly to the leads of the resistor.
- Cover the resistor, its leads with the wire soldering joints, and at least 3 mm of each wire past the end of the lead with a single piece of heat shrink tube.
- If necessary, bend both leads of the resistor so that they point in the same direction.
- Apply heat to recover (shrink) the insulating heat shrink tube. This step can be performed later if necessary.
- Crimp JST GH terminals onto the free ends of both wires.
- Insert the crimped terminals (wires) into a JST GH plug according to the specified pinout.
- Using an ohmmeter ensure that the resistance between the pins 2 and 3 of the plug is within 120±10 Ω.
