» Techflex Flexo F6 Braided Split Sleeving is ideal for protecting CAN bus cable. Its unique braided construction and wide expandability allows quick and easy installation over large connectors and long runs.
Termination and connector considerations
CAN bus cable must be terminated at both ends by resistors that represent the characteristic impedance of the communication protocol — typically 60 or 121 ohms. In today’s market, most connectors for CAN bus come with termination resistors already built in.
Amphenol Sine System’s AT Series integrated connectors offer a high- performance, reliable, and cost-effective solution for SAE 3-position CAN network requirements. This series is designed to be completely compatible with existing industry standard J1939/11 connectors. It provides a complete line of connectors and includes plugs, receptacles, Y splitter/receptacles, network terminators (with 120 OHM resistors), and keyed wedge locks to prevent mis-mating.
Amphenol Sine System’s AHD Series Type 1 &
2 Data Connectors have been adopted widely
by the diesel engine industry (in large part because of their capability of reading up to 500 kilobits per second), and are used for transmitting diagnostic data such as vehicle engine speed, temperature, oil temperature, exhaust emissions, and other customizable options.
Aptiv (Formerly Delphi) GT 150 Series connectors with an integrated 121 ohm resistor provide critical CAN bus communication connectivity for the on/off road commercial vehicle market.
Splitters: An advancement in CAN bus connectors
J1939 splitter connectors are a relatively new and convenient type of connector for use with CAN bus systems. A splitter enables you to break out the CAN signal to multiple devices, replacing the longer, somewhat confusing J1939 harnesses that have been required to do so in the past.
