A Mini FAKRA male to female cable is a specialized extension cable designed for automotive and telematics applications. It connects two components with Mini FAKRA connectors, ensuring reliable high-frequency data transmission, typically for RF signals.
Key Features:
-
Connectors:
- Male Connector: The male end features a protruding pin for signal connection.
- Female Connector: The female end has a receptacle to accept the male pin.
- Both ends are designed with secure locking mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection in automotive environments.
-
Cable Type:
- Typically uses high-quality coaxial cables like Dacar series cables (e.g., dACAR 302 or 535), and low loss cables like RG174LL, designed for RF signal integrity.
- Ensures minimal signal loss and excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Applications:
- Automotive Systems: Used for connecting antennas, GPS modules, infotainment systems, cameras, and sensors.
- Telematics and ADAS: Extends connections between modules in advanced driver-assistance systems.
- Aftermarket Upgrades: Facilitates integration of new components with existing systems.
-
Advantages:
- Compact design to fit tight spaces in modern vehicles.
- Durable, vibration-resistant construction for automotive environments.
- High-frequency support for applications like GPS, LTE, Wi-Fi, and satellite radio.
When selecting a Mini FAKRA male to female cable, ensure it matches the frequency and impedance requirements of your system (typically 50 ohms). Additionally, verify the color coding of the connectors, as Mini FAKRA connectors often use color codes for different signal types.
