FAKRA is the German acronym for "FAchKReis Automobile", which translates to "Automobile Expert Group"
The first-generation FAKRA products released by Rosenberger in 2000 are derived from the addition of a plastic shell structure on the basis of the SMB interface of the RF connector. The integration of the plastic shell makes the FAKRA products suitable for rapid assembly in vehicles and ensures stable and uninterrupted connections.
Due to its special standard locking system, FAKRA connectors meet the high performance and safety requirements of today's automotive industry and become a common standard RF connector in the automotive industry.
Fakra Connectors Applications
①Wireless signal transmission: vehicle AM/FM; video, audio and video; GPS; antenna; car networking; remote control, etc.
②Control system application: engine control system, automatic driving, unmanned driving, infotainment system, auxiliary heating, etc.
③Video signal transmission application: mainly used in vehicle cameras
FAKRA design features:
1. The SMB+plastic shell locking not only utilizes the quick-lock connection method of the SMB connector, but also the design of the plastic shell further ensures the tightness of the installation and meets the requirements of the harsh use environment in the automotive field.
The cable end housing has a secondary locking, which ensures that the terminal/center pin is installed in place, and increases the retention force of the terminal/center pin to ensure the stability of the information.
2. Color + mechanical error proofing: There is a structural design on the mating interface of the connector to prevent wrong insertion. Different error proofing structures have different colors of plastic shells, and the functions of different colors have been standardized in the industry. definition. Rosenberger's FAKRA connectors offer 14 error-proof codings.
