Clip on CAN Interface - Data Sheet

Updated on Mar 4, 2026

The Clip on CAN 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 with Mini-Din, Lemo, Fischer or D Type connectors, the RLACS182 is suitable for use with most Racelogic systems.
 

Clip on CAN Bus Overview
  • Reads CAN signals without making a hardware connection
  • One cable fits all vehicles / equipment
  • Accurate recovering of CAN bus data
  • No soldering, wire cutting or crimping
  • No intrusive signals can be transferred to the vehicle CAN bus
