CAN Transceiver MCP2518 board

Connect your Arduino or microcontroller projects to automotive and industrial CAN networks with our MCP2518FD transceiver board. Designed for automotive diagnostics, industrial automation, and IoT applications, this board supports both legacy CAN 2.0B and modern CAN FD standards with data rates up to 8 Mbps. If you are building vehicle diagnostic tools, industrial monitoring systems, or custom automotive interfaces, this SPI-controlled module provides reliable, high-speed communication with built-in termination.

The MCP2518FD controller at the heart of this board delivers CAN communication with arbitration bit rates up to 1 Mbps and data bit rates up to 8 Mbps for CAN FD applications. The integrated ATA6563 transceiver ensures signal integrity in harsh automotive and industrial environments, while the SPI interface provides easy integration with Arduino, ESP32, and other microcontroller platforms. The onboard 120-ohm termination resistor can be easily enabled via a jumper, making this board perfect for end-node applications or network testing.

What sets this CAN transceiver apart is its automotive-grade components combined with maker-friendly design. The screw terminal connections ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections for all applications, while the compact 38x22mm form factor fits easily into smaller projects. With Arduino library support and detailed documentation, you can quickly integrate CAN communication into your projects without deep protocol knowledge. Perfect for automotive enthusiasts, industrial automation engineers, and IoT developers who need reliable CAN connectivity.
