SKU #: IPEK-003009, IPEK-003019, IPEK-003014, IPEK-003015

The SAE J1939 cable establishes consistent CAN messages for the communication and diagnosis between components of heavy-duty vehicles such as construction machinery, tractors, and agricultural machines. In this area, robust DEUTSCH connectors are often used for on-board diagnostics connection.

The PCAN-Cables J1939 route the CAN lines of the DEUTSCH connectors to D-Sub sockets and thus allow access via PEAK CAN interfaces.
