1 to 2 Flat OBD-II 16-Pin Splitter Extension Cable

The flat Y splitter solves the modern OBD2 problem: the port is one, and the devices that want it are two. A GPS tracker may already live in the socket — and now the technician arrives with a scanner. This lead takes one OBD2 male 16-pin plug and splits it to two female 16-pin ports, so both devices work from the same vehicle connector at once.

Flat and thin as a noodle is the design brief: the male plug is mini-sized and can insert into the car directly, sitting flush where a moulded round plug would catch a knee or a bag. Materials of the connector and cable comply with UL and RoHS standards, and the lead is suited for all OBD diagnostic tools with a 16-pin socket.

Key features

• One OBD2 male 16-pin to two female 16-pin ports
• Flat noodle profile, thin enough for tight spaces
• Mini-size male plug inserts into the car directly
• Suited for all OBD diagnostic tools with 16-pin socket
• UL and RoHS compliant connector and cable materials

Specifications

An honest electrical note: a Y splitter is a pass-through, not a switch — both branches see the same bus. A passive tracker and a scanner work fine together; two devices that actively transmit on the diagnostic bus at the same time will contend, so run them one at a time or confirm your second device is listen-only.

Typical applications

• Fleet vehicles where a tracker occupies the OBD2 port
• Technician visits to vehicles with installed telematics
• Bench rigs feeding two test devices from one socket
• Pairing with the switched splitter when bus contention needs settling
