J1939 Type 2 (Green) Female to J1939 type 1 Male Adapter
We also have:
Dual Adapters
Triple Adapters
The adapter below is a straight through adapter - all pins wired 1:1. It will work in most situations. We also offer other adapters below this one for use
in specific situations where connecting all lines may cause communication issues or where the device being connected does not handle the new high data rate.
Starting in 2016 All heavy equipment vehicles are equipped with the new high speed J1939 Type 2 system. This system
has Green colored connectors instead of the standard black Type 1. A type 1 connector cannot plug into a type 2, but the
type 2 can plug into both.
The Green connector is available with a locking ring and without a locking ring. Rotating the locking ring when connected assures that the connector cannot
come unplugged accidentally. The connector without the lock ring is pressure fitted and is more suited for a test or diagnostic environment where the
connector is plugged and unplugged regularly. All of our Type 2 cables can be special ordered with the non-locking connector for an additional cost and
lengthened delivery time. Contact us at sales@mefiburn.com for more information.

Different Wiring Schemes
If you look at the 9-pin green connector in your truck, you can compare the pin positions with the photos below.
Some trucks have more than one set of pins
Type CD |
 |
Many pieces of test equipment or GPS units are capable of handling the high data rates in a type 2 system, but come from the
factory with a type 1 connector. Type CD places the High Data rate J1939 connection from Pins C and D of of the Type 2 connector to the standard |
Type FG |
 |
Many vehicles with the green connector place the older, 250Kb J1939 onto pins F and G of the new connector. The Type FG adaptor
connects these pins to the standard J1939 pins (C and D) on the Type 1 Connector which will allow older units to communicate. |
Type HJ |
 |
Some vehicles with the green connector place the older, 250Kb J1939 onto pins H and J of the new connector. The Type HJ adaptor
connects these pins to the standard J1939 pins (C and D) on the Type 1 Connector which will allow older units to communicate. |

Dual Adapters
J1939 Type 2 (Green) Female to Dual J1939 type 1 Male Adapter
If you look at the 9-pin green connector in your truck, you can compare the pin positions with the photos below.
Type FG |
 |
Many vehicles with the green connector place the older, 250Kb J1939 onto pins F and G of the new connector.
The Type FG adaptor has both the straight through CD connector and connects the F and G pins to the standard J1939 pins (C and D) on the second Type 1
Connector which will allow older units to communicate. |
Type HJ |
 |
Some vehicles with the green connector place the older, 250Kb J1939 onto pins H and J of the new connector.
The Type HJ adaptor has both the straight through CD connector and connects the H and J pins to the standard J1939 pins (C and D) on the second Type 1
Connector which will allow older units to communicate. |
If you do not know which adapter to use - whether your device supports the high data rate or if the low data rate is on pins F and G, then this adapter
will allow you to try both. One Type 1 connector is wired using pins C and D of the Type 2 connector and the other is wired using pins F and G.
