IP67/IP69K Mini-FAKRA Connectors and Cable Assemblies

Introduction

TE Connectivity’s IP67/IP69K Mini-FAKRA Connectors and Cable Assemblies are sealed RF interconnect products for compact, high-density connectivity in industrial and outdoor equipment. The series combines the standard Mini-FAKRA interface with ingress protection rated to IP67/IP69K and RF operation up to 9 GHz.

The range includes both connectors and pre-assembled cable assemblies, providing options for designs that need a sealed RF connection while reducing cable-integration work.

What it does

The IP67/IP69K Mini-FAKRA series carries RF signals through a standard Mini-FAKRA interface in environments where sealing is an important system requirement. Snap-on locking connections support quick mating, while keyed and color-coded housing options can help distinguish connections during installation and service.

Available one-, two-, and four-port configurations allow designers to select a connector arrangement suited to the required number of RF paths. For applications needing a ready-to-install connection, the pre-assembled cable assemblies provide an integrated cable-and-connector option rather than requiring separate assembly of the RF interconnect.

With an operating frequency of up to 9 GHz, the series is intended for RF connectivity applications that need compact packaging alongside protected interconnects.

Applications

Potential uses that follow from the series’ sealed RF interface and multi-port options include:

• Industrial equipment requiring protected RF cable connections
• Outdoor electronic systems using compact RF interconnects
• High-density RF connection panels or modules
• Equipment with multiple RF paths using two- or four-port connector configurations
• Installations where keyed, color-coded connections can support cable identification
• Systems using pre-assembled RF cable assemblies for simplified integration

Design considerations

The products use a standard Mini-FAKRA interface, so mating-interface compatibility should be confirmed when integrating them into an existing RF interconnect system. The available snap-on locking connection is also a practical consideration for installation access and mating procedures.

Designers can choose among one-, two-, and four-port configurations according to the number of RF channels required. Keyed and color-coded housing options should be considered as part of the system’s connection-identification approach, particularly where several similar RF links are present.

The IP67/IP69K rating is central to the series’ intended use in demanding industrial and outdoor environments. System-level sealing still depends on the complete installed assembly, including the selected cable assembly and mating connection. Designs operating at higher RF frequencies should also verify that the required signal falls within the stated up-to-9-GHz operating range.
