FAKRA Generation 1.0 & 2.0

Generation 1.0

• Utilises a modified metal SMB connector embedded within a plastic housing unit for ease of identification and assembly

• These plastic housings are visually and mechanically coded with keyed tooling to eliminate assembly errors

• Standard FAKRA connectors perform up to 6 GHz and meet the electrical, mechanical and environmental standards of the automotive industry

• Generation 1.0 typically features five separate component parts.

Generation 2.0

• Offers reduced installation costs via a pre-assembled housing unit

• This pre-assembled housing eliminates two loose components and their associated assembly and handling costs

• Due to this component reduction, Generation 2.0 features three separate components to install versus Generation 1.0’s five separate components.
