Engineered with precision for reliability, this connector supports frequencies from DC up to 6 GHz and enables data rates of up to 8 Gbps, making it ideal for modern vehicle systems that require robust, low-loss transmission. Whether you're integrating GPS modules, infotainment units, or wireless communication components, the Fakra C connector ensures consistent performance under extreme thermal conditions—from -40°C to +105°C—thanks to its advanced materials and mechanical design. Key Features: - Impedance stabilized at 50 Ohms for optimal signal transfer - Compliant with ISO 20860-1 and US-Car 18 specifications for global compatibility - Return loss ≥ 18 dB for minimal signal reflection and enhanced efficiency - Mating cycles exceeding 25, ensuring long-term durability in frequent plug-and-unplug scenarios - Dual locking mechanism (primary and secondary) prevents accidental disconnection - Thirteen distinct color-coded options plus one neutral variant for easy identification and mis-mating prevention - Stamped center contact, support sleeve, and connector head plug for precise assembly and consistent electrical characteristics This connector is manufactured using high-quality stamped parts on separate coils, which improves mechanical stability and reduces wear over time. Its modular design allows for seamless integration into complex electronic architectures found in today’s vehicles and industrial equipment. With customizable cable options—including RG174, RG316, RG58, DACAR302, RTK031, and LMR195—you can tailor the complete solution to your exact application needs, whether for antenna connections, remote keyless entry systems, or sensor-based monitoring solutions. Ideal for applications such as satellite navigation systems, Bluetooth/WiFi modules, mobile communication interfaces, and vehicle telematics, the Fakra C connector serves as a critical link between onboard electronics and external signals. It also supports auxiliary heating systems, real-time diagnostics, and smart sensor networks where reliable RF connectivity is non-negotiable. The connector's robust build and standardized coding system make it a preferred choice for OEMs seeking to reduce installation errors and improve maintenance efficiency. Users consistently praise its ease of installation, excellent shielding effectiveness, and resistance to vibration-induced degradation—qualities essential in automotive environments. Many engineers note how the connector’s clear color-coding simplifies troubleshooting during service and repair, while the dual lock feature gives peace of mind in high-shock applications like off-road vehicles or heavy machinery. Frequently Asked Questions: What is the coding system used in FAKRA connectors? FAKRA connectors employ both mechanical and visual coding—each color corresponds to a specific function (e.g., red for GPS, blue for FM radio), preventing incorrect mating and ensuring proper system operation. What frequency range does this connector support? Designed for high-frequency use, it operates effectively from DC up to 6 GHz, making it suitable for modern digital and analog RF transmissions including LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi bands. Where are FAKRA connectors commonly used in vehicles? They are widely applied in automotive infotainment systems, satellite navigation, remote control modules, antenna interfaces, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication setups. What other types of connectors do you offer besides FAKRA? We provide a comprehensive line of RF interconnects including SMA connectors, Mini Fakra, HSL connectors, F connectors, circular connectors, and car antenna adapters—all engineered for durability and signal fidelity. Lead times vary based on order volume; mass production typically takes 5–10 days after deposit confirmation.
