CONNECTION SYSTEMS Delphi FAKRA Connectors Delphi FAKRA Connectors consist of radio-frequency (RF) coaxial cable terminals and plastic housings. They are used to connect coaxial cable assemblies without sacrificing quality or performance. Both male and female single and dual position plastic housings are available in the full range of key codes and colors. The Delphi FAKRA terminals are manufactured via an innovative manufacturing process that is more efficient and cost-effective when compared to the traditional screw-machined method. The cable assembly crimp process saves labor and manufacturing floor space. In fact, the process enables Delphi’s FAKRA Connectors to cost less than competitive products and also significantly reduce complete coaxial cable assembly costs. Delphi FAKRA Connectors are designed to meet FAKRA and USCAR (United States Council for Automotive Research) specifications. Benefits • • • • • • Female single-position terminals with coaxial cable and plastic housing that can be designed with multiple colors and key codes for easy identification. More efficient and cost-effective than traditional screw-machined alternatives Crimp automation enabled by the use of carrier-fed terminals No connector/terminal pre-assembly required Mate to existing FAKRA devices Optional clip slot included on female connector allows use of standard Delphi clip All standard key codes and colors are available Typical Applications The Delphi FAKRA Connectors are suited for automotive applications that use RF coaxial cable, such as RG-58 and RG-174. Applications can include: • • • • Satellite radios GPS (global positioning systems) navigation Mobile phones Terrestrial radios (AM/FM) www.delphi.com | © Delphi. All rights reserved. | 1
