Simple to install, simple to use – The Trig TT23 and TT23G units are the next evolution in Trig compact Transponders; trusted by pilots worldwide for their reliability and innovative design. Available with built-in GPS for the first time, this next generation of transponders is also lighter, smaller and more compact, designed to reduce space and weight in your aircraft. The TT23 fits seamlessly into the tightest panel spaces, offering an efficient, lightweight solution that maximises your cockpit’s real estate.
Certified and suitable for both VFR and IFR flight, the TT23 class 1 Mode S device provides 250 Watts of output power. These transponders ensure visibility to commercial, military, and general aviation traffic, making navigation through busy airspace more predictable and stress-free. Trig transponders are future-proof, with full ADS-B compatibility that boosts your visibility and enhances flight safety.
Trig is the leader in advanced technology, meeting the latest FAA TSO-C166b certification standard for ADS-B. Designed for simplicity, the TT23 features a bright, easy-to-read display and includes a built-in altitude encoder for added convenience. The TT23 Transponder can be paired with GPS units like the TN70 or TN70A, and a number third-party sources, for ADS-B out. Coupled with an appropriate GPS the TT23 is suitable for certified aircraft to meet the mandate requirements in the United States – making this solution suitable for pilots globally.
The TT23G takes it further with a built-in GPS, certified to ETSO-C199, the ideal choice for pilots seeking an integrated ADS-B Out solution. This is suitable for experimental and light sport aircraft wishing ADS-B mandate compliance in the United States. TT23G is also suitable for those wishing to voluntarily equip with ADS-B out – for enhanced visibility and safety.

Product Design
All Trig compact transponders are made up of two main parts: a compact control head with a built-in altitude encoder, saving both space and cost, and a separate hardware box that can be installed anywhere on the airframe. The control head is just 54mm (2 3/25”) deep and fits in a panel with a 57mm (2 ¼”) round hole or a smaller compact mount – it comes with all the necessary fittings for either installation option. Trig's compact transponders are highly efficient, while commonly used in various general aviation aircraft, they are particularly well-suited for gliders and balloons when paired with an auxiliary battery.
Trig’s compact transponders are easy to use, offering a clear, bright display that is easy to read in any lighting condition and can be manually dimmed. The control head is also splash-proof, making it an excellent choice for open cockpit and seaplane operations.
Power Output and ADS-B
The Trig TT23/TT23G has 250 watts nominal power output, which makes it a class 1 transponder and meets international standards for 1090ES ADS-B Out (TSO C166b).
Compatible Trig products
ADS-B enhances safety and visibility – your investment in a TT23 transponder is future proof. Trig has a matching certified GPS position source that is highly affordable called the TN72. This is ideal for ADS-B voluntary equipage. The TN72 can even be used to meet the 2020 mandate by light-sport, experimental and homebuilt types in the U.S.
The TN70 GPS position source is suitable for certified Part 23 aircraft that need a TSO-C145 position source, for operations in 2020 rule ADS-B airspace using a TT22 transponder.
The TT23G transponder has an internal GPS sensor and therefore does not require the use of the TN72 or TN70 GPS units. The internal GPS is certified to ETSO-C199, suitable for voluntary equipage and meets the 2020 mandate for light-sport, experimental and homebuilt aircraft in the U.S.
Both the TT23 and TT23G are suitable for customers in the U.S. who follow FAA 14 CFR 91.227 that requires a compliant ADS-B Out solution using a Class 1 transponder.
