24 Marketplace T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E | A p r i l 2 0 1 5 Universal PLC adapter NEXIQ Technologies has released its new and improved Universal J560 PLC Adapter. Designed to work with virtu- ally any OEM heavy-duty vehicle communication interface or scan tool, NEXIQ says the Universal J560 PLC Adapter extracts data from the power line and converts it to the J1708 protocol. This ability to con- vert data to J1708 extends the ca- pabilities of J1708/J1587 diagnostic tools, enabling those tools to support J2497 Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication. The Universal J560 PLC Adapter also can be connected to a ve- hicle between the tractor and the trailer, or to the trailer alone, with- out the tractor, the company says. High-temperature paint PlastiKote's new Hi-Temp Paint is designed for painting areas on vehicles that are subject to extreme heat conditions. Once properly cured, PlastiKote Hi-Temp paint forms a hard, lasting fi nish that resists salt spray and will not chip or peel. Once applied, it dries to the touch in 60 minutes. PlastiKote says its Hi-Temp Paint is available in seven colors: black, white, red, aluminum, orange, blue and cast grey. Heavy-duty fabrication welder Lincoln Electric introduces the Aspect 375, a new fl agship TIG welding power source for the advanced professional fabrication market. This constant-current stick and TIG ma- chine provides for a TIG output range of 2 to 375 amps (single- phase range is de-rated to 2 to 250 amps) and is rated at 330 amps at 40 percent duty cycle, and 300 amps at 60 percent duty cycle, the com- pany says.
