- J2411 - Describes the GMLAN (single-wire CAN) protocol used in newer GM vehicles.
J1962 Connector Specifications
The SAE J1962 specification provides for two standardized hardware interfaces: Type A and Type B. Both are female, 16-pin (2x8), D-shaped connectors with a groove between pin rows. Type B's groove is interrupted in the middle, preventing insertion of Type A male plugs into Type B female sockets while allowing Type B male plugs into Type A female sockets.
Type A connectors are used for 12V supply voltage vehicles, while Type B is used for 24V vehicles with blue marking on the front of the D-shaped area.
