OBD-II to 14-Pin DIP Diagnostic Cable

OBD-II 16-Pin Female to 14-Pin DIP Diagnostic Breakout Cable

OBD-II J1962 16-pin female socket on one end, 14-pin 2×7 DIP male bare-end on the other. Diagnostic breakout cable for tapping individual pins during engine management and CAN bus troubleshooting on automotive and industrial ECU test benches.

Overview

Every assembly is built to the pinout, length and jacket specification agreed on the order, so the lead that arrives is the one the job actually needs rather than a generic part that mostly fits.

Key Specifications

Cable Type: Diagnostic Breakout Cable
Connector A: OBD-II J1962 16-Pin Female
Connector B: 14-Pin 2×7 DIP Bare End
Application: ECU Test Bench / CAN Tapping

Construction and Materials

One end carries a J1962 16-pin female socket, the other terminates in a bare 14-pin 2×7 DIP male header so each line can be clipped with a test hook or pushed into a breadboard. Leaving the far end bare is deliberate: it lets the technician decide how to terminate rather than forcing a fixed plug.

Typical Applications

Common on ECU test benches where the bench harness presents the vehicle side as a DIP header, and on CAN bus troubleshooting where individual lines need to be scoped without back-probing a sealed connector. Also used for bench-flashing work where the programmer expects discrete pin access.

Compatibility and Fitment

This is a breakout lead, not a protocol converter. It carries whatever signalling the connected ECU presents, so the pinout of the 2×7 header must be checked against the target unit before power is applied.

Custom Builds and Ordering

Cable length, conductor cross section, jacket material and connector plating can all be specified per order. Send the pinout or a sample and the assembly will be built to match, with OEM and bulk packaging available for production runs.
