CAN CrocoLITE CAN Bus Interface - Data Sheet

Updated on Mar 4, 2026

The CAN CrocoLITE CAN Bus Interface provides a quick and convenient way of tapping onto a CAN Bus when recording vehicle signals using Racelogic data logging systems. Using an innovative clip-on design, it eliminates the need to hard-wire directly onto the CAN Bus and can be easily fitted by most users.

Available unterminated, or with Mini-Din, Lemo or D Type connectors, the RLACS305 is suitable for use with most Racelogic systems.
 

RLACS305
  • Reads CAN signals through wires insulation without interfering into its integrity.
  • Zero impact on the electronic and electrical equipment of the vehicle.
  • One cable fits all vehicles / equipment.
  • Compact open-frame design allows handy connection to the wires of CAN bus even in the most hard-to-reach places of a car.
  • No intrusive signals can be transferred to the vehicle CAN bus.
  • Powered from vehicle’s onboard power supply - does not require an additional equipment (power supply unit).
  • Protected against reverse polarity.
  • Easy to install and operate.
