Designed with a 4-in-1 modular configuration, it supports multiple keying codes—A, B, C, D, and Z—ensuring seamless integration across diverse automotive platforms, from ADAS cameras to infotainment modules. Engineered for durability and precision, this cable-mounted connector delivers reliable performance under demanding conditions, making it ideal for OEMs and system integrators seeking future-proof connectivity solutions. Key Features: The connector features a straight orientation with full 360° shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), critical for maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. It is specifically optimized for use with low-loss RG174LL coaxial cable, offering an impedance of 50 ohms and a wide operating range from DC up to 9 GHz. The brass contacts are plated with either gold or nickel for superior conductivity, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. With over 100 mating cycles, this ruggedized design ensures consistent performance throughout the product lifecycle. Its durable plastic housing includes color-coded keying options that prevent incorrect mating—a vital feature for complex wiring harnesses in automotive electronics. Detailed Description: Manufactured using precision engineering standards, this Mini Fakra female jack connector combines mechanical stability with electrical efficiency. Whether used in camera systems, GPS antennas, telematics units, or high-speed data protocols like GMSL, FPD-Link III, Ethernet over coax, or USB over coax, it provides a stable interface between components. The crimp or solder termination options offer flexibility during installation, accommodating different production workflows. This connector’s compact footprint makes it particularly suitable for applications where space constraints are significant, such as in modern EVs, autonomous driving systems, and advanced driver assistance technologies. Its compatibility with various coding schemes eliminates the need for separate connectors per application, streamlining inventory management and reducing assembly complexity. Applications: Ideal for automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, this connector powers a broad spectrum of high-performance systems including surround-view cameras, rearview monitors, radar sensors, satellite navigation antennas, and wireless communication modules. It also serves industrial automation, medical imaging equipment, and test & measurement setups requiring precise RF signal routing. Its ability to handle both analog and digital signals across multiple protocols positions it as a versatile choice for next-generation vehicle architectures. User Reviews: Users praise its plug-and-play compatibility with existing Mini Fakra infrastructure and commend the ease of installation due to clear color-coded keying. Engineers appreciate the minimal insertion loss and consistent return loss values even at frequencies approaching 9 GHz. Many note that the connector’s lightweight design contributes positively to overall vehicle weight reduction goals without compromising on signal quality or mechanical strength. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this connector suitable for automotive use? Its robust construction, EMI shielding, and support for multiple keying codes ensure secure, error-free connections in harsh vehicular environments. Can I use this with other types of coaxial cables? It is specifically designed for RG174LL but can be adapted for similar low-loss cables if proper termination techniques are applied. Is it compatible with GMSL or FPD-Link III protocols? Yes, thanks to its 50 ohm impedance and wide bandwidth, it supports high-speed serial protocols commonly found in automotive video and sensor networks. How many times can it be mated before degradation occurs? Rated for more than 100 mating cycles, it maintains optimal contact resistance and signal integrity over repeated engagements. Are there different versions available for specific codes? Yes, each code (A, B, C, D, Z) corresponds to a unique physical keying pattern, allowing users to select the exact variant needed for their system architecture.
