Transducer Connectors: Field Attachable

Each brand of electronics has its own preferred connector design. Airmar use a code at the end of each transducer part number to indicate which connector is attached to the transducer cable. For example, a B744V-10F is a B744V transducer with a '-10F' connector, which is a Furuno 10-pin female connector. This guide is to assist in identifying which connector is in use.

Where no part number is given for a replacement connector, you will need to buy a cable with that connector on one end and cut the cable.

Available Options

• CX-106: A 6-pin female connector used by Garmin as standard until recently. It is also used by Navman equipment, including some that was later re-branded Northstar, and the Simrad NX series.
• CX-107: A 7-pin female connector used in some JRC and Simrad equipment, and by discontinued equipment from Apelco and Raytheon.
• CX-108: An 8-pin male connector used by Standard Horizon and some Si-Tex equipment.
• CX-128: An 8-pin female connector used by Navman and Icom

Identifying your Transducer

Every Airmar transducer has a label attached to its cable, located near the top of the transducer or where the cable plugs into the back of the instrument or display. This label contains information that is helpful in identifying the transducer and locating the correct service parts for it. For most Airmar products this label will show:

• the model name
• the manufacturing date
• certain performance characteristics (i.e. the transducer's frequency)
• the Airmar part number (PN)
• a Customer Part #

In all cases it is the Airmar Part Number (PN) that is the most important number to have available when ordering parts or contacting us about the transducer.

Before calling or emailing us about parts, please make sure you have the Airmar part number from the label on the transducer cable.
