Right Angle FAKRA Z Male GPS Car Antenna PCB Board Connector
Overview
The Fakra connectors are developed for the vehicles including GPS, Cellular, Bluetooth and Satellite Radio. As telematic advancements become more reliable, available, and inexpensive, vehicles are transforming into an intelligent platform for enabling mobile life. With these recent advancements in communications technology and increased consumer demand for a diverse array of on-board telematic services, RF communication systems have become integral components of today’s automotive, trucking, watercraft, motorcycle, and off-road construction markets.
To keep RF interconnection cost low, and to ensure high levels of electrical and mechanical performance for telematics applications, Positioning Satellite, Satellite Radio, Vehicular Internet Access, Remote Vehicle Diagnostics and Bluetooth, the worldwide automotive industries have standardized a high-performing, cost effective RF connector based on the FAKRA and USCAR standards.
Utilizing a modified metal SMB coaxial connector, the Fakra (female) jack features a closed-entry interface with a protected outer contact making the connector more robust than traditional SMB’s. Embedded within a plastic housing which features multiple color codes for easy identification and unique keying to prevent mismating, FAKRA connectors are designed to perform up to 6 GHz and meet the particular mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry.
Lcomm Communications also offers a variety of FAKRA connectors for PCB and antenna interfaces, as well as mixed dual coax/power FAKRA connectors.
