Fakra (OEM)

Test Equipment

Product Description

FAKRA industry standard compatible connectors are designed to fulfill the rigorous mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry. Ensuring maximum electrical and mechanical performance, these high quality FAKRA connectors feature specific color coded plastic housings in accordance with the FAKRA coding industry standard. Thirteen distinct mechanical and color codes enable easy identification and unique keying to avoid mis-mating and additional one neutral coding.

FAKRA connectors are used as standard interfaces for high-frequency telematic applications in vehicles where the number one priority is to ensure safety. For example, in autonomous driving and driver assistance systems where it is necessary to determine exact positioning, continuously calculate routes, and detect and classify objects. High data volumes from several cameras, various sensors and navigation sources must therefore be combined and transmitted in real time.
