Exclusively engineered for classic and legacy PORSCHE models equipped with the iconic 19-pin round diagnostic interface, the Red OBDII-16P Female to 19P Connector (L=280mm) serves as an essential connectivity solution, bridging the gap between modern 16-pin OBDII diagnostic tools and vintage PORSCHE on-board systems. This adapter eliminates the compatibility barrier that often plagues maintenance of older PORSCHE vehicles, enabling seamless diagnostic access for professional technicians and enthusiast mechanics alike.
At the core of its functionality lies a precision-machined 19-pin male connector that perfectly mates with the dedicated diagnostic sockets of classic PORSCHE models, including the 928, 944, 968, 964, and early 993 variants. The OBDII-16P female end adheres to SAE J1962 and ISO 15031-3 standards, ensuring reliable signal transmission for critical diagnostic protocols such as ISO 9141-2 K-Line and ISO 15765-4 CAN bus, which are widely used across PORSCHE lineups. This adapter unlocks full diagnostic capabilities, including reading/clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), monitoring real-time engine parameters (e.g., RPM, coolant temperature, fuel trim), performing actuator tests, and resetting service intervals—all while using standard modern diagnostic equipment.
Constructed to withstand the rigorous demands of automotive maintenance, the connector features a rugged red housing made from flame-retardant polycarbonate, offering exceptional resistance to high temperatures (-40℃ to +125℃), vibration, and chemical exposure from oils and solvents common in workshop environments. The 280mm cable is engineered with 20 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors and PVC insulation, ensuring low contact resistance (<50mΩ) and stable signal transmission with minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI). This length provides optimal flexibility, allowing technicians to operate diagnostic tools comfortably without straining the connection, even when accessing hard-to-reach 19-pin sockets (e.g., under the passenger-side dashboard or fender panels).
Designed for plug-and-play convenience, this adapter requires no complex wiring or software configuration, enabling immediate use with popular diagnostic devices such as Foxwell scanners, OBDSTAR systems, and professional-grade PORSCHE diagnostic tools (excluding Durametric systems which require specialized pinouts). The bright red housing enhances visibility in cluttered engine bays and workshops, simplifying quick identification and connection. Crafted with automotive-grade materials, including brass terminal pins for enhanced corrosion resistance and wear durability, this adapter ensures long-term reliability even with frequent use.
In summary, the PORSCHE-Specific Red OBDII-16P Female to 19P Connector (L=280mm) combines precision engineering, rugged construction, and model-specific compatibility to deliver a indispensable diagnostic tool for classic PORSCHE maintenance. By enabling modern diagnostic equipment to interface with vintage 19-pin systems, it saves time, improves diagnostic accuracy, and preserves the performance integrity of iconic PORSCHE models. RoHS-certified and built to exceed OE specifications, this adapter is a must-have for any workshop or enthusiast dedicated to maintaining PORSCHE’s legendary engineering heritage.
