IP67 Universal 4-Pin Straight Waterproof Fakra HSD Z-Code Male Plug Cable Connector – High-Speed Digital Signal Solution for Automotive and Industrial Applications This robust, high-performance connector is engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission in demanding environments. Designed as a universal straight waterproof cable assembly, it features a male Fakra HSD (High-Speed Data) plug with Z-Code mechanical keying to prevent incorrect mating—a critical feature for mission-critical systems. With an IP67 rating when fully mated, this connector offers complete protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes, making it ideal for rugged automotive, industrial, and outdoor applications. Key Features: - Connector Type: Fakra HSD (High-Speed Data), optimized for differential signaling - Gender: Male plug with secure locking mechanism - Coding: Z-Code (purple keying) ensures correct alignment and prevents misconnection - Pin Configuration: 4-pin design supporting differential pairs and shielded signal lines - Orientation: In-line straight configuration for compact integration - Waterproof Rating: IP67 certified for harsh conditions including rain, splashing, and dust exposure - Impedance: 100 ohms differential for minimal signal distortion - Data Rate Support: Up to 6 Gbps, suitable for modern ADAS, camera, and infotainment systems - Shielding: Full 360° electromagnetic shielding for superior EMI/RFI performance - Cable Compatibility: Works seamlessly with shielded twisted pair or quad cables - Materials: Color-coded plastic housing and gold-plated copper alloy contacts for long-term durability and low contact resistance - Durability: Engineered for over 100 mating cycles without performance degradation The connector’s precision-engineered structure allows for consistent electrical performance under extreme temperature variations, vibration, and mechanical stress—common in vehicle platforms and industrial automation setups. Its standardized form factor enables easy retrofitting across various OEM designs, reducing engineering complexity and inventory needs. Whether used in GMSL, FPD-Link, USB, or Ethernet-based communication architectures, this solution delivers stable connectivity essential for real-time data transfer between sensors, cameras, control units, and displays. Applications span across advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automotive camera modules, radar systems, telematics units, infotainment interfaces, and smart machinery in manufacturing or robotics. It supports the growing demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving technologies, and Industry 4.0 sensor networks where reliability and environmental resilience are non-negotiable. Users appreciate its ease of installation, consistent signal integrity, and peace of mind knowing that even in wet or dusty conditions—such as on construction sites, off-road vehicles, or marine equipment—the connection remains secure and functional. The color-coded Z-keying eliminates human error during assembly, which is particularly valuable in production lines or field service scenarios where time and accuracy matter. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this connector different from standard Fakra connectors? Unlike generic versions, this model includes enhanced sealing, precise impedance matching, and Z-Code mechanical keying to ensure compatibility only with intended female counterparts—reducing failure risks in safety-critical applications. Is it compatible with both wired and wireless systems? Yes, while primarily designed for wired digital signals, it serves as a crucial interface point for integrating wired components into broader wireless-enabled vehicle or machine systems. Can it be used in extreme temperatures? Absolutely—it performs reliably from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for cold climate operations and high-heat environments like engine compartments or industrial ovens. How does the IP67 rating benefit users? It guarantees dust-tight enclosure and water resistance, allowing use in environments where moisture, dirt, or condensation could otherwise compromise signal quality or cause short circuits. This connector represents a future-proof investment for engineers seeking a durable, high-reliability solution for next-generation automotive and industrial electronics. Its combination of speed, protection, and universal compatibility sets a new benchmark for high-speed digital connectivity in global markets outside China and its territories.
