Is this adapter compatible with PCAN software?

Yes, once the appropriate drivers are installed on Windows, it is recognized as a PCAN-USB device and works with compatible software.

Why use a spring terminal instead of screw terminals?

Spring terminals provide a faster, tool-free connection that resists loosening from vibration in industrial or automotive environments.

How do I enable the 120-ohm termination resistor?

Simply slide the onboard red DIP switch to the "ON" position to engage the built-in 120Ω matching resistor.

Can I get the secondary development SDK at your Sham Shui Po store?

Yes, we can provide the necessary source code, tools, and firmware for secondary development when you purchase the module at Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd.

What is the BOOT pin used for on the circuit board?

The BOOT pin is used for flashing custom firmware; it requires a 3.3V input during the firmware flashing process.

Full Product Description

Seamless PC to CAN Bus Communication

This USB-C to CAN adapter bridges your computer and CAN networks for efficient data analysis, monitoring, and control. Built around the APM32F072C8T6 microcontroller and JTA1050 transceiver, it fully supports the CAN 2.0B protocol. When the appropriate drivers are installed on a Windows system, it is recognized as a PCAN-USB device, making it highly compatible with industry-standard CAN analysis software.

Tool-Free Wiring and Built-in Protection

The module features a 2-pin spring-loaded terminal block that allows for fast, screwless wire connections supporting 0.34-2.5mm² (AWG 22-14) cables. Designed for industrial reliability, the board includes multi-level power protection against static electricity, over-current, and over-voltage. Three onboard LEDs (Power, RXD, TXD) provide instant visual feedback on your communication status.

Technician Tip

Always ensure the 120Ω termination resistor is correctly configured for your specific network topology. If this adapter is located at the physical end of the CAN bus, slide the onboard red DIP switch to the "ON" position to engage the 120Ω matching resistor. If it is located in the middle of the bus, leave the switch at the "1" (NC) position to prevent signal reflection and communication errors.
