Molex FAKRA II Automotive Connector System
Molex FAKRA II SMB Connector System meets both American USCAR and German FAKRA automotive standards. Standard uses for FAKRA connectors are coaxial connections on devices with external antennas; such applications include SDARS, Cellular, GPS Navigation, keyless entry, and satellite radio. The FAKRA connector 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.
