The USB to CAN Adapter with Open End European Terminals provides a flexible connection between computers and CAN bus devices for communication, configuration, diagnostics and data acquisition.

Unlike the M8 connector version, which requires a matching M8 female interface on the equipment, the open end design can be wired directly to terminal blocks, controllers and other CAN interfaces. European style terminals make individual wire connection easier during equipment integration, commissioning and laboratory testing.

This connection method is especially practical for industrial automation systems where different devices use different physical interfaces. It allows the same USB to CAN communication solution to be integrated with PLCs, controllers, sensors, actuators, data acquisition equipment and CAN test systems.

Product Advantages

More Flexible than M8

The open-end design is not limited to equipment with a matching M8 female connector, providing greater flexibility for connecting different CAN bus devices. It allows direct adaptation to various terminal blocks, controllers, and industrial communication interfaces, making it especially suitable for equipment integration, system upgrades, and applications requiring different wiring configurations.

Direct Terminal Connection

The European-style terminals enable direct and convenient connections to compatible terminal blocks, industrial controllers, and equipment interfaces without requiring dedicated mating connectors. This design simplifies individual wire termination, reduces the need for additional adapters, and provides greater convenience during equipment installation, CAN bus wiring, system commissioning, and maintenance.

Broader Equipment Compatibility - Suitable for PLCs, controllers, sensors, actuators, data acquisition units and other CAN enabled equipment.

Convenient for Testing - Open wiring is practical for CAN network debugging, prototype development, laboratory testing and equipment commissioning.

Easy System Integration - Individual CAN-H, CAN-L, GND and PE connections make it easier to adapt the converter to different equipment wiring arrangements.

Product FAQ

What is a USB to CAN Bus Converter ?

A USB to CAN Bus Converter is an industrial communication adapter that connects computers to CAN bus devices. It features a USB interface and open-end European terminals, supporting CAN communication, device configuration, diagnostics and data acquisition in industrial automation and testing systems.

What Is the Difference Between Open-End and M8 Versions ?

The M8 version requires a matching M8 female connector, while the open-end European terminal version connects directly to compatible terminal blocks, PLCs and controllers. This flexible wiring design is ideal for equipment integration, commissioning and laboratory testing without a dedicated M8 interface.

Can the USB to CAN Converter Be Customized ?

Premier Cable can evaluate OEM customization options, including cable length, jacket material, terminal specifications, pin assignments, shielding and product labeling. Custom cable assemblies are available for wholesale and bulk projects, subject to technical confirmation and manufacturing feasibility.

What Should Be Considered During CAN Bus Installation ?

Installation requires correct CAN-H and CAN-L wiring, appropriate grounding, bus termination and matching communication bit rates. A typical high-speed CAN network uses 120-ohm termination at both bus ends. Cable length, node count and electromagnetic conditions should also be considered for reliable communication.
