1. Blue Z-Type FAKRA Design for Automotive RF Connections

Both ends of this RF cable assembly are equipped with blue Z-type FAKRA female connectors. The connectors feature a female contact configuration and blue housings, providing clear visual identification during wiring harness assembly, equipment installation, and maintenance.

FAKRA connectors are commonly used in automotive electronic systems and are suitable for applications such as automotive antennas, navigation and positioning systems, wireless communication, satellite positioning, and in-vehicle entertainment.

Automotive interiors typically have limited installation space and complex electronic module layouts. A properly designed connector structure can help optimize cable routing and simplify installation.

The Z-type connector design is suitable for applications where a specific connection direction is required. When the equipment interface and cable routing are positioned at an angle, the Z-type structure can help reduce excessive bending near the connector and contribute to a more organized wiring layout.

The blue FAKRA housing also makes it easier to distinguish different interfaces within automotive wiring harnesses, which can help improve efficiency during assembly, inspection, and maintenance.

2. RG174 Coaxial Cable for Compact and Flexible Wiring

The coaxial cable is an essential part of an RF cable assembly and is responsible for RF signal transmission. This product uses RG174 coaxial cable, featuring a black outer jacket and an outer diameter of approximately 2.8 mm.

RG174 is a commonly used small-diameter coaxial cable specification. Its relatively compact size and flexibility make it suitable for electronic equipment and wiring harness applications where installation space is limited.

Automotive interiors contain numerous control modules, communication modules, and antenna interfaces. RF cable assemblies therefore need to be routed according to the equipment layout and available installation space.

The relatively small outer diameter of RG174 helps reduce the space occupied by the cable assembly while facilitating bending, routing, and installation.

By combining FAKRA connectors with RG174 coaxial cable, this product provides a ready-to-use RF cable assembly for short-distance RF signal connections between compatible devices.

3. 150 mm Standard Cable Length for Short-Distance Connections

This RF cable assembly features a standard cable length of 150 mm, making it suitable for compact, short-distance connection applications.

During electronic equipment assembly, the distance between different modules can vary. An excessively long cable may create unnecessary cable slack and make wiring organization more difficult, while a cable that is too short may not reach the required connection point.

The 150 mm cable length can meet the connection requirements of certain compact electronic devices and modules while facilitating standardized procurement and assembly.

For applications such as R&D testing, equipment assembly, automotive wiring harness processing, and mass production, a standardized RF cable assembly can reduce the need for additional cable cutting, connector crimping, and assembly operations.

4. Black Heat-Shrink Tubing for a More Integrated Cable Assembly

The connection area between the FAKRA connector and the coaxial cable is covered with black heat-shrink tubing, with a specification of OD 3.5 × 15 mm.

The heat-shrink tubing covers the cable termination area and helps provide a cleaner and more organized overall appearance. During electronic equipment and automotive wiring harness assembly, the rear section of the connector generally requires appropriate protection and cable organization.

The heat-shrink tubing helps create a more integrated transition between the connector and cable, contributing to the overall structure of the RF cable assembly.

The black tubing matches the black RG174 coaxial cable, providing a consistent appearance suitable for automotive wiring harnesses and other black cable systems.

5. 300 V Rated Voltage and Clearly Defined Specifications

According to the product specifications, this FAKRA RF cable assembly has a rated voltage of 300 V.

For actual applications, the RF cable assembly should be selected according to the equipment's operating voltage, operating frequency, impedance requirements, and installation environment.

RF cable assembly selection should not be based solely on connector type and cable length. It is also important to confirm the equipment interface specification, RF frequency range, impedance requirements, installation direction, and available space.

Before bulk procurement or deployment, users are advised to verify the connector model and cable specifications according to the requirements of the actual application.

6. Applications in Automotive Electronics, Navigation, and Communication

Featuring FAKRA connectors, this product is particularly suitable for automotive electronics and in-vehicle RF connection applications.

Depending on the equipment interface specifications, potential applications include:

• Automotive antenna systems
• GPS navigation systems
• Navigation and positioning equipment
• In-vehicle communication modules
• Wireless communication equipment
• In-vehicle entertainment systems
• Automotive electronic modules
• Intelligent vehicle electronics
• RF connection and testing equipment

As vehicles become increasingly intelligent and connected, the demand for communication and data transmission within vehicles continues to grow. RF cable assemblies serve as an important link between antennas, communication modules, and electronic equipment.

The Kinghelm KH-FAKRAZK-FAKRAZK-RG174-150MM combines standard FAKRA connectors with RG174 coaxial cable in a compact 150 mm configuration, making it suitable for short-distance RF connections.

7. Compact RF Cable Assembly for Easy Wiring Harness Installation

The product adopts a simple and compact FAKRA connector + RG174 coaxial cable + heat-shrink tubing construction, providing a ready-to-use RF cable assembly with clearly defined specifications.

Both ends use the same type of blue Z-type FAKRA female connector, allowing connection to compatible FAKRA interfaces. The 150 mm cable length helps minimize excess cable, while the approximately 2.8 mm outer diameter of the RG174 coaxial cable makes the assembly suitable for space-constrained installation environments.

For electronic equipment manufacturers, automotive electronics companies, and wiring harness manufacturers, using a standardized finished RF cable assembly can reduce processes such as cable cutting, stripping, crimping, and connector assembly.

This can help simplify assembly operations, improve production efficiency, and facilitate standardized production management.
