Holybro M9N GPS with Standard 10 Pin Connector IST8308
by Holybro

The Holybro M9N GPS with Standard 10-Pin Connector (SKU 12095) is a high-precision multi-constellation GNSS navigation module designed for Pixhawk-series flight controllers, autonomous UAVs, and commercial robotics platforms. Powered by the u-blox NEO-M9N GNSS engine, this module concurrently receives and tracks signals from up to four major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou), delivering rapid satellite acquisition and 1.5m CEP positioning accuracy.

Pre-terminated with a standard 10-pin JST-GH connector, SKU 12095 plugs directly into primary GPS1 input ports on Pixhawk standard carrier boards, Pixhawk 6X, 6C, and 5X flight controllers. It features an updated IST8308 digital compass, a high-gain 25x25x4mm ceramic patch antenna with MAX2659ELT+ LNA amplification, an onboard safety switch, an internal audible buzzer, and a tri-color RGB status LED for complete real-time flight status and physical system feedback.

Key Features

• u-blox NEO-M9N GNSS Core: Concurrently tracks up to 4 major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for rapid navigation lock and 1.5m CEP accuracy.

• Standard 10-Pin JST-GH Connector (SKU 12095): Direct plug-and-play interface for primary GPS1 ports on Pixhawk 6X, 6C, 5X, and standard PAB baseboards.

• Updated IST8308 Digital Compass: High-precision magnetometer provides heading orientation, natively supported in PX4 (v1.14.3+) and ArduPilot (4.4.0+) firmware.

• Integrated Avionics Suite: Features an onboard safety switch, audible buzzer, and ultra-bright tri-color RGB LED indicator for complete physical ground interaction and status updates.

• High-Gain Active Antenna Array: 25x25x4mm ceramic patch antenna paired with a low-noise 3.3V regulator and MAX2659ELT+ LNA RF amplifier for maximum signal reception.

• Rechargeable Backup Capacitance: Onboard Farah supercapacitor retains ephemeris data for rapid warm and hot start locks.
