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.
