SCR Diagnostics Cable

Product Overview

This SCR diagnostics cable is a custom cable assembly that connects a diagnostic tool, test box or NOx sensor to the SCR (AdBlue) system connectors on heavy-duty trucks and off-highway engines.

The range covers 37, 35, 23, 20, 19, 18, 16, 14 and 12-pin diagnostic leads (SCR-EM-37P, SCR-KA-35, SCR-AB-23P, SCR-CU-20P-2P, SCR-SI-19P, SCR-CA-18P, SCR-TE-16P, SCR-TE-14P, SCR-CA-14P, SCR-BO-12P, SCR-SI-12P), NOx sensor cables (SCR-NOX, SCR-NOX-J), the sensor cable (SCR-SS), converter cable (SCR-CONVERT), 2-pin injector and extension cables and the 2.0 diagnostic lead (SCR-BO-2D).

Each lead is built to the engine or after-treatment connector on the drawing. Cactus Electronics has produced diagnostic cables since 2009, to IPC/WHMA-A-620, with 100 % electrical testing before shipment.

Material & Rating

  • Connector — Bosch, TE, Amphenol, Sumitomo and KET SCR connectors - 2 to 37 pin - plus Deutsch DT for heavy-duty use
  • Contacts — brass, gold-plated or tin-plated, selected by mating-cycle requirement
  • Conductor — stranded copper 24–20 AWG, PVC or PUR insulation
  • Jacket and overmold — PUR or PVC, black, with moulded strain relief for workshop use
  • Shielding — optional shield with drain wire for NOx sensor and CAN signal lines
  • Temperature — 80 °C with PVC insulation, 105 °C with XLPE or TPE; PUR jacket for under-chassis runs
  • Ingress protection — sealed overmolded connectors specified per drawing; AdBlue resistant jacket options

Certification

Cactus Electronics is certified to ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and UL and manufactures to the IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standard. Raw materials comply with RoHS. Every assembly passes 100 % electrical testing - continuity, insulation resistance and withstand voltage - before packing, and the QC-to-production personnel ratio is 1:3.

Application

SCR diagnostic cables are used to read fault codes, test NOx sensors and bypass or convert after-treatment connectors on diesel vehicles.

  • Heavy-duty truck SCR and AdBlue fault diagnosis
  • NOx sensor testing and replacement leads
  • Bus, coach and off-highway engine after-treatment service
  • Emission system retrofit and converter cables
  • Dealer service tool kits
  • Fleet maintenance workshops

Custom Options

  • Connector series and pin count: 2 to 37 pin, or built from your sample plug
  • Tool-side termination: DB9, USB, OBD2 16-pin, J1939 9-pin or bare leads
  • Cable length, straight or coiled, PVC or PUR jacket
  • NOx sensor extension, jump and converter configurations
  • Samples in 3–7 working days; MOQ confirmed per project
  • Customer carton marking and DDP delivery on request

FAQ

What is the operating temperature rating of this harness?

Standard PVC-insulated assemblies are rated to 80 °C; XLPE or TPE insulation raises the rating to 105 °C. Workshop leads are normally PVC; cables routed along the chassis or near the exhaust are quoted with XLPE insulation or a PUR jacket. The exact operating range for a part number is stated on its drawing and confirmed in the sample test report.

Is this overmolded harness waterproof?

Cables used under the chassis are supplied with sealed overmolded connectors and an AdBlue resistant jacket, so the connection survives wash-down and road spray. The ingress protection level (typically IP67 for a mated pair) is specified on the drawing and verified during sample validation. Non-overmolded assemblies can be supplied with heat-shrink or grommet sealing instead.

Can I customize the pinout and connector type?

Yes. Pinout, connector series and gender, cable length, wire gauge, jacket colour and overmold shape are all customer-defined. Each lead is mapped to a specific engine or after-treatment connector, so pin count, keying and termination follow your sample or drawing. Send a drawing, a sample, or a pinout table and we return a 2D/3D drawing prepared to IPC/WHMA-A-620 for approval before tooling.

What is your MOQ for custom cable?

MOQ is confirmed per project and depends on harness complexity, connector cost and tooling. Prototype and pilot batches are accepted before mass production, so a new programme can start with sample quantities. Samples are produced in 3–7 working days and mass production runs 20–30 days after approval.

What testing standards do you apply for harness?

Production follows IPC/WHMA-A-620. Every assembly is 100 % electrically tested for continuity, insulation resistance and withstand voltage; the in-house lab adds temperature and humidity cycling, salt spray, connector insertion and withdrawal force, and cable bending tests. Inspection records are kept in the ERP system.
