CAN Bus Wiring Harnesses For Vehicles And Equipment
Engineer-reviewed CAN harnesses with sealed connectors, twisted-pair cable, branch routing, and termination details matched to your network.
MiniProto builds CAN bus wiring with Deutsch DT, DTM, DTP, Metri-Pack, and other sealed connector families. We support J1939, CANopen, vehicle ECU, agriculture equipment, robotics, and prototype networks that need clean signal routing and reliable field service.
Why MiniProto
Professional Harnesses Without The Wait
Network-Aware Harness Review
We check pair routing, shield notes, branch length, connector pinout, and whether 120-ohm termination belongs in the harness or at the device.
Sealed Connector Options
Deutsch DT, DTM, DTP, Metri-Pack, and related families help CAN networks survive vehicle and equipment environments.
Prototype And Fleet Support
Build a one-off development loom, then repeat the same harness when the ECU, controller, or sensor stack stabilizes.
Technical Specifications
CAN Harness Building Blocks
Common connector and wire choices for CAN bus wiring harness projects.
| Element | Gauge | Network Detail | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deutsch DTM | 18 to 22 AWG | Compact sealed signal | Sensors, ECUs, robotics |
| Deutsch DT | 14 to 20 AWG | Sealed signal and light power | Vehicle branches and service points |
| Deutsch DTP | 10 to 14 AWG | Power plus network nearby | Equipment power and controls |
| Metri-Pack | 14 to 22 AWG | Sealed automotive style | Legacy vehicle integrations |
| SiliconePair Twisted Pair | 20 to 24 AWG | CAN high and CAN low | Flexible prototype routing |
| 120-Ohm Termination | Inline or device-side | End-of-bus only | J1939 and CANopen networks |
Termination placement depends on the full bus topology. We can include inline termination when the harness is one end of the network.
