16 Pin J1962 OBD2 Male Connector Extension Cable

A 16 pin J1962 OBD-II male connector assembly with open wire ends, used as the starting point for custom diagnostic and telematics builds. The open end lets the integrator terminate to their own device rather than adapt a finished cable.

  • Standard J1962 16 pin body mates with any compliant vehicle port
  • Open wire ends let you terminate to your own device connector
  • Factory crimped vehicle side removes the least reliable joint from your build
  • Extension length built to your device mounting position

Samples ship within 3 days of confirmation. Bulk lead time is typically 7 to 12 days.

Problems It Solves

  • Cutting a finished OBD cable leaves an unsupported splice
  • Hand-assembled J1962 hoods fail after repeated plug cycles
  • Device side connectors differ from vehicle side and force an adapter

Who It Is For

  • Telematics device manufacturers
  • Diagnostic tool builders
  • Fleet hardware integrators

Application Scenarios

  • Telematics and tracker device builds
  • Custom diagnostic tool assemblies
  • Data logging installations on fleets

Technical Features

  • J1962 16 pin OBD-II male connector
  • Open plug wire ends
  • Custom assembly lengths
  • Overmoulded connector body

Quality Control And Certification

  • Continuity And Circuit Verification. Verifies the physical arrangement sequence of the harness terminals and the circuit topology between them
  • Circuit Configuration Verification. Confirms that a complete, uninterrupted current flow path exists within each circuit
  • Terminal Retention Strength Test. Measures the mechanical reliability of the connection between the terminal and the wire
  • Ingress Protection Rating Test. Evaluates the dust and water resistance sealing performance of harness connectors

The company is certified to IATF 16949 and UL standards. Samples are confirmed prior to trial or mass production, and the approved sample is the reference for every repeat order.

Customization Options

  • Connector family and terminal type to your part numbers
  • Conductor gauge selected from the current per circuit
  • Finished length and breakout positions to your drawing
  • Jacket colour, marking and labelling to your scheme
  • Packing to your instruction, PE bag and carton as standard

Compared With The Alternatives

Finished OBD extension cables

Open ends let you terminate directly to your device without a splice

Self-assembled connector kits

A moulded vehicle side connector survives daily plug cycles

Use Guide

  • Confirm which of the 16 circuits your device uses before ordering
  • Keep power and CAN circuits separated where your device allows
  • Support the connector body so vehicle vibration does not load the port

Guides That Cover This Build

16 Pin J1962 OBD2 Male Connector Extension Cable FAQ

Can you populate only the circuits we use?

Yes. Send the circuit list and we build only those, which also reduces cost.

Can you terminate our device connector as well?

Yes. Send the connector part number or a sample and we build both ends.

Is a sample confirmed before mass production of 16 Pin J1962 OBD2 Male Connector Extension Cable?

Yes. Samples are confirmed prior to trial or mass production on every custom build, so the first production shipment is not the first time you see the part.

Can 16 Pin J1962 OBD2 Male Connector Extension Cable be built to our own drawing?

Yes. We are open to OEM projects whenever you can provide a drawing or a physical sample, and the approved sample becomes the reference for repeat orders.

Where is the factory and can we visit?

Our factory is in Humen Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, a 30 minute drive from Shenzhen International Airport. We welcome visits at any time.
