Mercury – 2-Pin Terminator / Resistor | CAN Network End Termination | 893388A01

Overview

A CAN network needs a proper end point to stay stable, and when that termination is missing, the system can act unpredictable—flickering data, random faults, or modules dropping offline. The Mercury 893388A01 Blue 2-Pin Terminator/Resistor closes out the CAN network with the correct electrical load. It’s a small part, but it keeps the communication backbone steady so gauges and modules talk the way they should.

Key Features

• 2-Pin End Terminator – Closes out the CAN network with the correct electrical resistance.
• Blue Housing – Identifies the specific terminator type used for its designated CAN circuits.
• Network Stabilization – Helps prevent signal noise, dropped messages, and erratic behavior.
• CAN-Ready Design – Built for termination at the end of CAN network branches.
• OEM Electrical Spec – Matches Mercury’s required resistance values for proper CAN communication.
• Quick Installation – Presses into the 2-pin port securely with no tools needed.

Compatibility

• Mercury CAN networks
• 2-pin CAN termination points
• End-of-line CAN harness connections

Performance & Practical Benefits

With the correct termination in place, the CAN network behaves the way it should—steady communication, clean data, and fewer nuisance issues. This terminator helps prevent the intermittent glitches that can show up when a branch is left unterminated. It installs quickly, locks into place firmly, and provides long-term stability even in high-vibration marine environments.

Why Buy OEM

CAN systems are sensitive to incorrect resistance values. Mercury’s OEM resistor uses the exact electrical specification required for stable communication, something generic parts often fail to match. Using the OEM version prevents phantom faults, dropped data, and the kind of intermittent issues that can be difficult to diagnose later.

FAQ

Q1: What symptoms suggest a missing or failed terminator?
Unstable gauge readings, intermittent drops in data, or random communication faults often point to an unterminated CAN branch.

Q2: Does this terminator work on any 2-pin CAN port?
It’s designed specifically for CAN termination points, not mid-chain connections.

Q3: Do I need tools to install it?
No. It presses directly into place.

Q4: Can this be used in saltwater environments?
Yes. The housing and contacts are built for long-term marine use.

Q5: Should this be used at both ends of the network?
Only at designated termination points. The system typically requires one terminator per end of the CAN backbone.
