Kvaser AB is pleased to announce an updated version of its well-known Leaf Light CAN to USB interface

Having made its name as the work-horse of USB to CAN interfaces, it provides a reliable, low cost tool for connecting any CAN network to a PC or mobile computer in applications as wide ranging as automotive, mining, marine, military, oil and gas exploration, military, industrial and heavy machinery.



The Leaf Light is one of the best-known members of Kvaser’s product line. Supporting high speed USB, it can send up to 8000 messages per second, each time-stamped with 100 microsecond accuracy. Galvanic isolation, previously a more expensive option on Kvaser’s original Leaf Light, now comes as standard on the Leaf Light v2, enhancing protection from power surges or electrical shocks. Despite these specification improvements, CAN Leaf Light v2 will be offered at the same great price, representing exceptional value for customers.



Commenting on the announcement, Lars-Berno Fredriksson, president of Kvaser AB, said: “For some ten years now, Leaf Light has been our best-selling interface. It is supported by a plethora of third party CAN tools thanks to its popularity among end users. Retaining the reliability and performance of Leaf Light that our customers have come to expect, we have comprehensively updated and enhanced the design to make Leaf Light v2 the workhorse for another decade.”
