NMEA 2000 connector pinout

The NMEA 2000 network connection (J2) is a 5-pin M12 A-coded (Micro-C) male panel-mount connector. The diagram shows the pin assignments viewed from the front (mating face) of the device connector.

NMEA 2000 M12 A-coded male connector — front view: pin 1 Shield, pin 2 NET-S (+V), pin 3 NET-C (−V), pin 4 NET-H (CAN-H), pin 5 NET-L (CAN-L)

ESP-PROG programming header pinout

The programming socket (J1) is a 2×3 IDC header following the Espressif ESP-Prog "Program" convention. Full circuit detail is on the Programming Socket page.

ESP-PROG 2×3 programming header — pin 1 ESP_EN, 2 V_PROG (5 V), 3 ESP_TX, 4 GND, 5 ESP_RX, 6 ESP_BOOT (IO0)

Legacy serial connector pinout

The legacy serial connector (J3) is a 3-pin Raymarine-compatible connector. See the Legacy Serial Interface page for the isolation and signalling detail.

Legacy serial 3-pin connector — pin 1 12 V (red), pin 2 GND (black), pin 3 SIG (yellow)
