The plug is specifically designed to support TFC 302LL and comparable cable types which offer reliable mechanical and electrical performance along with low-loss capabilities.

This FAKRA plug is colour-coded and mechanically keyed for easy installation and is available in a variety of key codes including the universal Z code. Amphenol RF FAKRA interconnects are intended for automotive and industrial automation applications such as sensor integration, automated inspection and vehicle communication networks.

The rear mount bulkhead feature allows the connector to be mounted through a panel or enclosure wall, providing a stable and secure connection point.

The plug is sealed in both the mated and unmated condition, ensuring that no contaminants enter. A gasket seals the interface internally, while an o-ring seal sits between the flange and panel mount for additional security.

The FAKRA plug has been constructed with a ruggedised, high-performance plastic housing over a nickel-plated diecast zinc alloy body and flange. It also features a gold-plated, brass centre contact and a nickel-plated, copper ferrule.

This 50 ohm FAKRA plug has been designed to ensure reliable, high-frequency data transmission up to 6 GHz and standard straight crimp die sets are used to terminate the connector to the cable. It joins a robust offering of FAKRA connectors and cable assemblies available as off-the-shelf solutions.
