FAKRA Connector A Standard Radio Frequency Connector Widely Used in the Automotive Industry

22/09/2022 Leon


FAKRA RF connectors are used as standard interfaces for high-frequency automotive applications, including radio antennas, telematics, navigation, mobile communications, Bluetooth, assisted heating and keyless entry systems, as well as for a wide range of non-automotive applications.

 

FAKRA is the acronym of FAchKReis Automobil (Automotive expert team consisting of engineers from BMW, Huber-Suhner, Rosenberger, etc. Huber-suhner related connector business and technology was merged into Rosenberger in 2010). Originally required by BMW for antenna connections to car radios, FAKRA has become a standard radio frequency connector widely used in the automotive industry.

 

 

Rosenberger

 

Rosenberger's FAKRA RF connectors are used as standard interfaces for high-frequency automotive applications, including radio antennas, telematics, navigation, mobile communications, Bluetooth, assisted heating and keyless entry systems, as well as for a wide range of non-automotive applications. These include industrial process control boxes, outdoor routers, high-speed industrial cameras, machine-to-machine (M2M) modules, and various iot devices.

 

The range is divided into two categories -- FAKRA connectors with standard turning parts and FAKRA-SF connectors with stamped terminals -- and features straight, right Angle and cable connectors, 360° rotatable right Angle connectors, panel connectors, PCB Connectors are suitable for surface mount and pin paste welding processes, waterproof connectors, connectors with single and multi-piece enclosures, and corresponding FAKRA RF calibration kits.

 

Rosenberger's FAKRA connector also offers a combination of 13 mechanical and color-coded features (13 codes) to prevent mismatches, as well as a primary and secondary lock system to ensure secure connections even in harsh environment applications.

 

They are rated for operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C and comply with ISO 20860-1 and -2 and USCAR 17 and 18 standards, as well as RoHS, WEEE and ELV instructions. In addition, the FAKRA-SF connectors of the line are fabricated using a highly reliable manufacturing process to ensure precision performance; Very suitable for process safe automatic wiring harness assembly, can significantly reduce the cost; Support mass production with 100% process reliability; And compatible with standard FAKRA housing. All of these combine to make them increasingly popular in a wide range of automotive, industrial, and data communication applications.
