Product Details

Product Description

With advancements in telematics and automotive communications technology, RF communication systems have become integral components in today’s automotive, trucking, watercraft, motorcycle, and off-road construction markets. To ensure high levels of electrical and mechanical performance for telematics applications, the worldwide automotive industries have standardized a high-performing, cost-effective RF connector based on the FAKRA and USCAR standards.

Embedded within a plastic housing which features multiple color codes for easy identification and unique keying to prevent mis-mating, FAKRA connectors are designed to perform up to 3 GHz and meet the particular mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry.
