Designed exclusively for Chrysler vehicles, the Red OBDII-16P Female to 8P+12P Connector (L=280mm) serves as a critical bridge between diagnostic tools and the vehicle’s on-board systems, addressing the unique connectivity needs of modern Chrysler models equipped with Safety Gateway Module (SGW) technology. This high-performance adapter eliminates communication barriers that often arise when using standard diagnostic equipment on late-model Chrysler vehicles, enabling seamless data transmission for comprehensive vehicle maintenance and repair.
At the core of this connector’s functionality is its precise compatibility with Chrysler’s 12+8 pin diagnostic interface configuration. The OBDII-16P female connector adheres to SAE J1962 and ISO 15031-3 standards, featuring standardized pin assignments for critical signals such as CAN High (Pin 6), CAN Low (Pin 14), K-Line (Pin 7), and power/ground connections (Pins 4, 5, 16) . It seamlessly converts to 8P+12P connectors that directly interface with the SGW module, bypassing security restrictions to enable full diagnostic access—including reading/clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), key programming, cluster calibration, and real-time parameter monitoring (e.g., engine RPM, coolant temperature, fuel trim) .
Crafted for durability and reliability, the connector features a robust red housing made from flame-retardant PA66 material, ensuring resistance to high temperatures (-40℃ to +105℃), vibration, and chemical exposure common in automotive environments . The 280mm cable is constructed with 22 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors and PVC insulation, delivering low contact resistance (<100mΩ) and stable signal transmission with minimal interference . This length provides optimal flexibility during diagnostics, allowing technicians to operate diagnostic tools comfortably without straining the connection or limiting access to the vehicle’s interior.
Compatible with a wide range of Chrysler models (including 2018+ Chrysler 300, Pacifica) as well as other FCA brands like Dodge, Jeep, and Maserati, this adapter is a versatile tool for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts alike . It works seamlessly with popular diagnostic devices such as OBDSTAR X300 DP, Autel MaxiSys, and Actron scanners, supporting ISO 9141-2 and J1939 protocols for comprehensive system coverage . Plug-and-play functionality simplifies setup, eliminating the need for complex wiring or software configuration, while the color-coded design enhances visibility and ease of identification in busy workshop environments.
In summary, the Chrysler-Specific Red OBDII-16P Female to 8P+12P Connector (L=280mm) combines precision engineering, durable construction, and broad compatibility to deliver a reliable diagnostic solution. Whether for routine maintenance, complex repairs, or advanced programming tasks, this adapter ensures unobstructed access to Chrysler’s on-board systems, saving time and improving diagnostic accuracy for automotive professionals.
