9-pin DSUB

This connector layout is recommended by CAN in Automation (CiA) and is pretty much the industrial standard.

 

KVASER users: Please note that the specific utilization of these pins on the KVASER DRVcan driver cables is described in the document โ€œLAPcan Hardware Guideโ€ which you can download here.
If power is supplied, it shall be in the range +7..+13 V, 100 mA. Modules provide a male connector and have to connect pin 3 and 6 internally.

CAN connectors 1

 

The pin numbering is valid for a male connector, viewed from the connector side, or for a female connector viewed from the soldering side. โ€“ To memorize the pinning, note that CAN_LOW has a LOW pin number and CAN_HIGH has a HIGH pin number.


5-pin Mini-C

Used by both DeviceNet and SDS and happens to be compatible between these two protocols.

CAN connectors 2

 

The modules have male connectors. The supplied power is 24V +- 1%.

Note: in the DeviceNet specification version 1.x, the female connector in figure 9.13 has the numbers in wrong order. Specification 2.0 and later versions has got it right.


6-pin Deutsch DT04-6P

Recommended by CANHUG for use in mobile hydraulics applications.

Module side male, bus side female. There is currently no recommendation as to the supplied power.
