Installation Manual

  • The G3X Touch installation manual covers the GHA-15.

Notepad


Connections
Note: on the rubbery back side of the connector, the printed "1" seems to be closer to the hole to the left of the "1", but pin 1 is to the right of the "1".

(as seen from the back of the connector where you insert the pins through the silicone seals)

Screw Torque

  • 10-32 Stainless steel: 33 in lb

Tools / Parts Needed

  • K40 Positioner for DMC Crimper
  • The 10-32 mounting screws are included. If you need more, those are MS51958-67, e.g. McMaster part number 91400A833 (pack of 25, same bolts needed for GPS antennas)
  • 4 x 10-32 nut plates, e.g. K1000-3 / MS21047L3
  • 63/1000 2024T3 doubler, e.g. 4 x 4 inches

    Builder made doubler example (Garmin doesn't provide template).
  • Optional: USB-B bulkhead debug connector (instead of Garmin pigtail part no 011-01782-00 which is just a coupling, not a bulkhead connector) at Amazon
    Suitable 10ft laptop cable at Amazon
    Color code: Black: GND (GHA-15 pin 20), Red: +5V (GHA-15 pin 19), White: D- (GHA-15 pin 10), Green: D+ (GHA-15 pin 9)
    The wire will fit through a 1/4 inch snap bushing (before crimping the pins)
