Universal 16-pin OBD2 Port (Female) with 16 Open End Cables - 30 cm

The universal 16-pin OBD2 female connector with 16 open-ended cables is identical to the diagnostic port standardly built into modern vehicles. This connector features a 30 cm long wiring harness where each pin is connected to a color-coded wire with an open end. Thanks to this so-called "pigtail" design, this component is ideally suited for repair, customization, and development of diagnostic interfaces.

This connector is not intended as a plug-and-play adapter, but as a fundamental building block for creating custom wiring. Technicians, developers, and hobbyists can use it to create a new OBD2 connection or safely access a vehicle's communication lines for testing and development.

Application and functionality:

The design with open-ended cables makes this connector extremely suitable for a wide range of specialized applications:

• Repair: For replacing a damaged or corroded OBD2 port. The old connector is removed and the new one is wired pin by pin to the existing vehicle wiring.
• On-bench programming: For building a workbench harness to power and access ECUs, odometers, or other modules outside the vehicle.
• Prototyping and development: Ideal for setting up test rigs during the development of OBD2 devices such as dataloggers or telematics units.
• Equipment integration: Suitable for permanent installation of aftermarket systems that require a direct connection to the CAN bus network or other data lines.

Compatible with:

This connector is fully universal and complies with the SAE J1962 / OBD2 standard. Therefore, it is physically compatible with the male plug of any OBD2 scanner or diagnostic interface.

For installation, the connection is suitable for all vehicles with a 16-pin OBD2 system (virtually all passenger cars from model year 2001). However, it is essential to consult the specific wiring diagram of the respective vehicle, as the wire colors may not correspond to those of the original manufacturer.
