Tru-Loc® Splitter | Rugged CANbus Splitter Connector

CANbus Splitter Connector for Reliable Power and Signal Distribution

The Tru-Loc® CANbus Splitter Connector from Amphenol Industrial Operations is a rugged solution engineered to simplify power and signal distribution in harsh environments. Built on the trusted Tru-Loc® platform, this compact CANbus splitter connector allows the branching of power and CANbus communication signals across multiple harnesses, reducing connector count and simplifying vehicle network architecture. Its ability to support both communication and low-power distribution makes it an ideal solution for modern vehicle systems requiring efficiency and reliability.

Designed for CANbus Network Integration with the Tru-Loc® Splitter

Modern vehicle and industrial systems increasingly rely on CANbus networks for communication between sensors, controllers, and electronic units. The Tru-Loc® Splitter provides an ideal solution for these applications, supporting CAN-high, CAN-low, ground, shielded circuits, I/O power, and low amperage power distribution in a single compact unit. This CANbus splitter connector helps simplify harness complexity while maintaining robust signal integrity across the network, ensuring stable data transmission even under harsh operating conditions.

Robust Construction for Demanding Applications

Amphenol’s Tru-Loc® Splitter is engineered for durability in extreme environments. This CANbus splitter connector offers vibration resistance up to 32 grms, an IP67 rating for water and dust sealing when mated, and operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -40°C to 150°C. Its ruggedized design ensures long-term performance in automotive, heavy equipment, off-road, and industrial environments where exposure to moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes are common. Built for reliability, the Tru-Loc® Splitter extends service life while reducing downtime associated with harsh conditions.

Impedance Matching for Optimal CAN Signal Integrity

Maintaining impedance is critical for reliable CANbus communication. The Tru-Loc® Splitter is specifically designed to maintain a 120 Ohm impedance between power and CAN circuits, ensuring optimal signal performance throughout the network. This characteristic allows the CANbus splitter connector to minimize signal reflections, maintain data integrity, and prevent transmission errors. Amphenol also offers a 6-way terminating resistor plug option with a pre-installed 120 Ohm resistor, providing a complete solution for efficient network termination in CAN systems.

Flexible Wiring Options and Simplified Harnessing with the CANbus Splitter Connector

Supporting both 16 AWG and 20 AWG wire sizes, the Tru-Loc® Splitter offers flexibility for different system requirements. By consolidating both power and CANbus circuits into a single connector system, the Tru-Loc® CANbus splitter connector significantly reduces the number of connectors and harnesses required, leading to reduced vehicle weight, lower assembly costs, and simplified serviceability. This optimization is critical for automotive OEMs, heavy machinery manufacturers, and industrial system designers seeking to streamline cable management and increase system efficiency.

Applications of the Tru-Loc® CANbus Splitter Connector

The Tru-Loc® Splitter is an ideal solution for a wide range of industries and applications, including automotive sensor networks, off-road vehicle control systems, agricultural machinery, energy storage systems, and heavy industrial vehicles. In stationary equipment that utilizes CAN-based communication networks, the Tru-Loc® CANbus splitter connector provides a reliable method of distributing both power and data signals across modules. Its robust environmental sealing makes it especially suited for outdoor and mobile equipment applications where exposure to contaminants and vibration is unavoidable.
