Molex FAKRA PCB, cable and sealed connection systems

FAKRA PCB Jacks are utilized within the automotive industry. Standard uses are coaxial connections on devices with external antennas; such applications include SDARS, Cellular, GPS Navigation, key-less entry and satellite radio. The FAKRA PCB Jack provides a mechanical key feature along with a visual color code to differentiate between applications. Molex offers FAKRA connectors with a high-temperature plastic shroud that is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes.

FAKRA Cable Jacks and Plugs meet both American USCAR and German FAKRA automotive standards, while retaining the high-performing, cost-effective attributes as the original FAKRA PCB series. The enhanced features offered by the FAKRA Cable connection system demonstrate Molex’s dedication to meet the continued mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry.

Marketplace demands are resulting in multiple cameras being installed in consumer vehicles. Additionally, commercial vehicles and automobiles require next-generation technology for safety. Sealed FAKRA Connectors are designed to provide a reliable connection in exterior cameras. They also meet USCAR specifications to meet the requirements of automobiles, including autonomous cars, and commercial vehicles.
