Turck has released an over-molded connectivity solution for J1939 Deutsch applications. The solution is designed for mobile equipment as well as oil and gas applications, where environmental factors such as shock, vibration, cold temperatures, moisture, and oils can affect performance.

Thanks to its over-molded design, extremelife jacketing, IP67 rating, and cold weather performance, Turck’s over-molded J1939 Deutsch connectors provide additional reinforcement, abrasion and oil resistance. The over-molded J1939 Deutsch connectors come equipped with Turck’s extremelife-60 cabling, which allows for a flexible cable jacket that will not break or crack when pulled in extreme cold.

Turck’s over-molded Deutsch cables are constructed following SAE specifications for J1939. Turck offers over-molded J1939-11 solutions for shielded applications, as well as J1939-15 solutions for unshielded applications, terminating resistors, and tees.

A Comprehensible Guide to J1939

SAE J1939 has become the accepted industry standard and the vehicle network technology of choice for off-highway machines in applications such as construction, material handling, and forestry machines. J1939 is a higher-layer protocol based on Controller Area Network (CAN). It provides serial data communications between microprocessor systems (also called Electronic Control Units - ECU) in any kind of heavy duty vehicles. The messages exchanged between these units can be data such as vehicle road speed, torque control message from the transmission to the engine, oil temperature, and many more.

The information in this book is based on two documents of the SAE J1939 Standards Collection: J1939/21 - Data Link Layer J1939/81 - Network Management A Comprehensible Guide to J1939 is the first work on J1939 besides the SAE J1939 standards collection. It provides profound information on the J1939 message format and network management combined with a high level of readability.
