OBD-II J1962 Female Replacement Connector, 16 Sockets, VW/GM Fit

This is the OBD-II J1962 female replacement connector with 16 female wire sockets — the DIY end for builders and repairers of OBD2 diagnostic cables, in the shell format that fits vehicles whose socket follows the VW, GM and Cadillac-era J1962 style.

Quality is the whole reason to replace rather than discard: high-quality OEM moulds insure stable sockets that connect every time and don’t wobble, and the pins are made from high-quality spring steel so they keep contact with the inserted terminals over hundreds of mating cycles. Working temperature is −30 to +84 °C, the connected pins meet all the vehicle communication standards, and the materials comply with the RoHS standard.

It ships as the bare connector — solder or crimp your own cable onto the 16 sockets following your tool’s pinout.

FAQ

Is the J1962 female shape the same for all cars?
The J1962 standard defines the plug, but shell variants exist by maker and era — this one matches the VW/GM/Cadillac style. Compare the photo with your target socket.

Does it include terminals pre-fitted?
The 16 female wire sockets are the terminations — you land your own cable on them.
