What are FAKRA connectors?
FAKRA, abbreviation for the German term “Fachkreis Automobil”, traces its origins back to the use of radio antennae in automobiles. Nowadays, it has evolved into a standardized RF connection solution widely accepted by the automotive industry, demonstrating its versatility as a general purpose connector. FAKRA connectors are typically encapsulated in a plastic housing, which is color-coded for easy user identification. At the same time, its unique keying design can effectively prevent misplugging or mismatching. In addition, these FAKRA connectors are equipped with a locking mechanism to ensure that the connectors are secure during installation, thus ensuring accurate installation.
