Custom OBD connectors engineered to your pin-out
Standard connectors often fall short in a modern vehicle. We design, engineer and manufacture diagnostic connectors to precise electrical, mechanical and environmental specifications — for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers who cannot make a catalogue part fit.
Innovation for specific needs
A diagnostic tool for a passenger car does not ask the same thing of its port as a heavy-duty truck data connection, an EV battery management system tester, or a racing ECU programmer. The automotive industry is diverse, and the connector is where that diversity shows up first.
We speak the standards, not just the specs
Our team works to SAE, ISO and OEM-specific requirements, and designs with the vehicle environment in mind: engine bay heat, road vibration, EMI in a noisy electrical system, and mating-cycle wear over a service life rather than a demo.
The custom obd connectors workflow
Four stages, one owner. You keep a single point of contact from the first call to the packed carton.
Consultative discovery
We start by listening — the application, the performance requirements, and the failure you are trying to design out.
Collaborative design
Our engineers work with yours on pin-outs, housing geometry, locking mechanism, cable length, shielding and material selection.
Prototyping and testing
Functional prototypes go to you for validation, after testing for vibration, temperature extremes, EMI/RFI interference and mating-cycle durability.
Scalable manufacturing
Once approved, production runs to written SOPs — consistent performance from the first unit to the ten-thousandth.
Six things that are yours to specify
These are not options on a form — each one is a tooling or process decision we own, which is why we can say yes to them.
Pin configuration
Male or female terminals, nickel or gold plated, brass or phosphor copper, and other specifications to your requirement.
Housing and form factor
Low-profile, right-angle, ruggedised or compact bodies to fit a constrained space.
Connector gender and type
Male, female, or unusual combinations to suit the interface you have to meet.
Cabling and wiring
Specific cable lengths, jacket materials such as oil-resistant or high-temperature, and shielding construction.
Materials and colour
High-grade plastics, composites and dyes to meet aesthetic and environmental specifications such as UV resistance or flammability rating.
Integrated electronics
Inline components such as resistors, LEDs or a simple PCB for signal conditioning and status indication.
More than a supplier — your engineering partner
Seamless accountability. One point of contact, one quality standard, one guaranteed outcome. The friction of a fragmented supply chain disappears along with the finger-pointing.
Accelerated innovation. Integrated teams communicate in real time, which shortens development cycles and gets a superior product to market sooner.
Optimised total cost. Designing for efficiency at every stage removes waste and redundancy, producing a more reliable part and a lower total cost of ownership.
Guaranteed cohesion. The connector is optimised for the cable and the mould is perfected for the connector, so every component works in harmony with the next.
Many custom programmes begin as a standard model
