This OBD2 open end cable is a highly flexible and customizable solution for automotive electronics and diagnostics. One end features a standard SAE J1962 16-pin male OBD2 connector, while the other end terminates into 16 individually color-coded, stripped bare wires. It is the ideal building block for creating your own custom wiring harnesses, connecting aftermarket electronics, or performing bench diagnostics on ECU systems.
Accurate Specifications & Features:
- Connectors: 1x Standard 16-Pin OBD2 Male (OBDII/SAE J1962) connector with molded strain relief.
- Wire Ends: 16 color-coded pigtail wires with stripped and tinned ends ready for soldering or crimping.
- Pin Configuration: All 16 pins are fully wired (Full 16-Core), ensuring compatibility with all standard OBD2 communication protocols (CAN, K-Line, ISO9141, etc.).
- Material: Made with high-quality copper wire cores (typically 22AWG) for excellent conductivity, enclosed in a durable, flexible PVC jacket.
- Length Selection: Available in multiple lengths (e.g., 30cm, 50cm, 1m, etc.) to suit various installation environments.
Key Benefits & Applications:
- Custom DIY Projects: Ideal for building your own bypass cables, relay harnesses, or custom power adapters.
- ECU Bench Testing: Allows technicians to easily tap into specific pins (Ground, 12V Power, CAN High, CAN Low) for bench testing or data logging.
- Permanent Installations: Perfect for hardwiring GPS trackers, dash cams, or alarm systems directly into the OBD2 port without bulky plugs.
- Signal Tracing: The distinct colored wires make it extremely easy to identify and probe specific pins for troubleshooting.
