Mini PCIe 2-Channel CAN Card with USB Adapter

This Mini PCIe to Dual-Channel CAN card adds two fully isolated CAN2.0A/B interfaces with 1Mbps support, buffering, and automatic retransmission. Includes USB adapter, onboard termination, LED indicators, and software support for Windows and Linux.

This MiniPCIe to Dual-Channel CAN card offers a reliable, compact way to add two isolated CAN bus interfaces to a laptop, embedded board, or industrial system. It supports both CAN2.0A and CAN2.0B protocols, complies with ISO11898-1/2 standards, and includes full software support for Windows and Linux platforms - including Raspberry Pi!

Built on mature USB-CAN technology, the card provides high-performance, bidirectional CAN communication at up to 1Mbps, with automatic retransmission and buffering for up to 2000 received frames and 1000 transmit frames per channel. Each channel is fully isolated for improved reliability and safety in demanding environments.

The board includes a USB to MiniPCIe adapter for connecting to systems without a native MiniPCIe slot. Combined with included drivers, diagnostic tools (like CANTools), and development examples in languages such as Python, C++, C#, LabVIEW, and more, this is a flexible solution for CAN-based data collection, control, and analysis.

Power, system, and per-channel activity indicators are onboard, along with built-in 120Ω terminal resistors. Communication occurs via USB 2.0 signals on the MiniPCIe edge connector, with a 3.3V operating voltage. The unit is rated for wide temperature ranges and supports headless setups such as with the Raspberry Pi.

For a more permanent Raspberry Pi setup, combine this card with the Mini PCIe / Gigabit Ethernet / USB 3.2 Gen1 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5. For CM4, use it with the Industrial IoT Wireless Expansion Module for Raspberry Pi CM4.
