Ruggedised Connector - 16F30C
Sorion's J1962 Compliant ruggedised connectors are specifically designed for harsh manufacturing environments

The 16F30C is fully compliant with ISO15031-3.6.  This standard details both the vehicle connector physical dimensions and the requirements of the diagnostics connector.

Vehicle Fit J1962 compliant with ISO15031-3.6

Why a ruggedised connector, when the standard vehicle fit suppliers provide J1962 plugs?

The answer is reliability.

Where cycle time is critical in the factory, it is essential that the diagnostics connector makes every time, week after week without fail.  Sorion DuraconTM connectors are designed to provide 80,000 - 100,000 operations in the harsh shop-floor environment.  The connector is mechanically latched in place picking up on the vehicle connectors latching lug, to release the 16F30A a simple spring loaded release is pressed and this releases the connector using the reaction force of the 16 spring loaded pins without wearing the vehicle latching lug.

Easy to operate spring release clip

Also it must be remembered that the standard vehicle fit connector has a limited life cycle and it is of the utmost importance that this life is not significantly degraded before the vehicle even leaves the factory.

The pins are spring loaded to minimise the wear on the vehicle connector and they are easily replaceable in the event of wear or damage.

Where reliability of connection and downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum, Sorion have developed a "pin saver" for fitting to Sorion's standard J1962 connector. 

Pin saver is retained onto the J1962 connector by means of the simple to release clips seen at the left hand side of the photo

The 16F31A pin saver is attached to the front of the 16F30C J1962 connector by means of two spring clips and accurately replicates the 16 pins of the main connector.

In the event of failure the pin saver can be easily removed and replaced with a validated replacement item or in emergency left off and the main connector used until such a time as a replacement pin saver is made available.
