## Connector Pinout

[ *** >>> Interactive Pinout <<< ***](https://rusefi.com/docs/pinouts/microrusefi/)

    **WARNING: for historical reasons microRusEFI pin numbers do not match Molex numbers on the plastic**

In some cases without "main relay output +12v" both pins #1 and #5 should be connected to the single source of +12v.

Pin #1 feeds ETB H-bridge, battery voltage sense, gp5 & gp6 high-side +12v, TLE8888 H-bridges.

## Pin Types

These tables provide technical information about the different types of pin found on microRusEFI.

## FAQ

Q: Can I use temperature inputs for EGT?

A: "temperature input" is a just an analog 0-5v input with a strong pull-up implied to use with a thermistor. Your EGT sensor is probably not a thermistor, your 0-5v output out of a conditioner would probably not be happy about the pull-up.
