16-pins OBD2 Connector (Male) with 16 Open End Cables – 30 cm

This universal 16-pin OBD2 (J1962) male connector is designed for developing your own diagnostic equipment, test cables or interface hardware. The plug is identical to the male part of an OBD2 dongle and fits into any standard OBD2 port (female) in vehicles.

The plug is equipped with a 30 cm long wiring harness, with each of the 16 pins individually connected to a color-coded open end cable. This “pigtail” design makes it an ideal starting point for building custom scantools, dataloggers or ECU interfaces.

Application and functionality:

This OBD2 male connector is intended for use on the diagnostic equipment side, not the vehicle. Possible applications include:

• Scantool development: Build your own diagnostic interface for OBD2 communication
• Datalogging: Connect GPS loggers, CAN-bus monitors or performance hardware
• Dongle prototyping: Ideal for telematics development and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi OBD adapters
• Making test cables: Connect measuring instruments to individual pins of the vehicle diagnostic port

Note: this plug is not intended as a direct extension cable, but as a base component for professional or educational applications.

Compatibility:

The connector complies with the SAE J1962 Type A standard and physically fits into any OBD2 port (female) of vehicles with 12V or 24V systems, including almost all cars in Europe from:

• 2001 (gasoline vehicles)
• 2004 (diesel vehicles)

For correct operation, the user must apply the correct pinout diagram in the design of the end equipment.
