CANchecked CBD06 6 Way CAN Bus Distribution Hub

CBD06 stands for "Can Bus Distribution" with 6 connections - what is this module needed for?

CAN bus connections in vehicles can sometimes pose significant challenges for our customers. First, the CAN bus cables must be laid and connected as elegantly as possible. The devices usually also require a power supply, and the CAN bus termination must also be installed somehow.

In addition, there are increasingly several CAN buses for different requirements - drive CAN bus, comfort CAN bus, one for programming (USB2CAN), etc. For this application, CANchecked has developed a small add-on module with six connectors. Each connector carries four wires: CAN High, CAN Low, 12V, and ground.

The CBD06 Hardware

Measuring just 72x44x34mm, the box is very compact and fits anywhere. The sockets are modeled after the widely used DTM04-4P. Matching mating connectors are the DTM06-4S, which can be optionally purchased as a set of four under order number CC22101.
We've drilled two holes in the center for mounting. Use the two included screws for this.

Unlike the CBD10, the CBD06 does not have a status LED to indicate the power pinout used.

CBD06 configuration

Unlike the CBD08 and CBD10, the CBD06 does not have jumpers on its board. Accordingly, the CBD06 is always undermined and cannot be split into two separate CAN buses.

Cabling

The box can optionally be equipped with a 12V/ground supply line. This can then be tapped from the other sockets and thus power the end devices. All connected devices should consume no more than 10 amps in total.
