Standard OBD2 Female 16-Pin Wiring Socket Adapter

The standard female wiring socket is the other half of the DIY pair: a 16-pin OBD II J1962 female connector with wiring terminals inside, the side that receives a male device plug. For building tester pigtails, bench adapters or the socket end of a custom extension, this is the part that meets the tool.

The spec is the family’s: high-quality spring steel in the contacts so they grip the inserted device for hundreds of mating cycles, high-quality OEM moulds insuring stable sockets that connect every time and do not wobble, working temperature -30 to 84°C, RoHS-compliant materials, pins meeting all vehicle communication standards.

FAQ

Male or female — which do I need?
The female socket receives the male device plug — it is the port side of a DIY build; the male wiring plug is the separate listing.

Do the contacts loosen over time?
The spring-steel design is rated to hold contact force across hundreds of mating cycles — that is the stated spec.
