WHY BREAKOUTBOX   SHOP BREAKOUTBOXES 

A must-have tool 
for any modern workshop.

Piercing into cables or probing through seals introduces moisture ingress, corrosion, and intermittent faults — problems that show up weeks later and cost hours to diagnose.

  • Extend the lifespan of vehicle or device harnesses
  • Avoid costly cable replacements from probing damage
  • Compatible with any component, ECU, or vehicle platform
  • Complete sets for automotive, agricultural & industrial
  • Custom branded sets for OEMs and dealer networks

Keep the engine running.


The Y-cable sits between the sensor and the wiring harness connector. It functions like an extension cable, but with a parallel connection to the breakout box — giving you clean measurement access without interrupting the system.

During measurements the sensor remains connected and fully operational, enabling you to take readings while the motor management system is running under real conditions.

FAILLURE SIMULATIONLEARN MORE   

Create real faults. In a controlled environment.



The Failure Simulation Box sits in series with the ECU. Every pin passes through the box — giving you switches, potentiometers, and LEDs to simulate any fault on a running engine.

  • Non-invasive testing — no piercing, no damage to insulation
  • Measure while the engine runs — sensor stays fully connected
  • Clean connection for multimeters, oscilloscopes & data loggers
  • Overlay allows you to read the pinout schedule for instant identification
  • Adapter cables available for any pin count, any connector type

Simulate Resistance

Simulate poor contact in the plug terminals. Simulate resistance ranging from 10, to 100 kΩ. Manipulate signals using an external device. (i.e.: CAN-bus offset, Signal offset, voltage feeds, etc..)

Visualize Signals

Three integrated red LED’s can be connected to all signals like fuel injectors, relays, ignition, etc. 

Automotive Grade Fusing

Standard, all channels are fused with a 5A automotive fuse, but you can easily be replaced these with a 10A fuse where needed. 

Aerospace Grade Locking

Canon ITT - ZIF connectors used to connect the adapter cable. This ensures minimum of wear and tear on the measuring equipment and on the gold-plated contacts. 

Key Functions

Wire break simulation
Simulate real-world wire breaks safely to test ECU responses and train diagnostic skills.

Signal IN – Signal OUT Configuration
Every ECU pin can be routed, manipulated, and measured, up to 10A signals. Anything higher is safely looped through while still allowing parallel measurement.

Parallel & Series Measuring
Switches allow users to toggle between normal operation (parallel) and inserting meters for AMP measurements (series).

LED indicators and precise potentiometers simulate real-world issues like resistance, shorts, or supply faults.

Benefits

Safe & Flexible Fusing
Each channel on FSB-M has 5A fusing, easily upgraded to 10A. LT models skip fuses for lighter applications.

Ground & Supply Management
Ground and supply connections are taken from the harness, keeping setups modular and realistic—no single point on the box.

Laser-engraved overlays enable clear labeling of each pin. Perfect for structured work (K94-01, A60-02) or functional names (INJ1, CAN1_H).

Overlay cover plates allow educators to hide faults for troubleshooting exercises, while the manipulation capabilities support ECU development and vehicle response tests.
