FAKRA Z Code To SMA Male Cable

The FAKRA Z code Female to SMA Male RF Adapter Cable connects an existing FAKRA antenna lead to an SMA port through a short RG316 coaxial pigtail. The water blue FAKRA Z code female connector mates with a compatible FAKRA male connector, while the threaded SMA male plug connects to a matching SMA female port. The flexible lead between the two connectors lets each end align with its mating interface, even when the connection points face different directions.

In a vehicle navigation installation, the cable can bridge the original antenna lead and a replacement receiver with an SMA antenna input. It can also connect a compatible FAKRA antenna lead to an SMA port on RF remote control equipment. The 10cm pigtail is intended for installations where the existing lead already reaches the module area and the connection can be made close to the equipment. With matching interfaces at both ends, the adapter cable can be installed without cutting the original coaxial lead or replacing its connector.

Product Specifications 

Connector Design

Two Interfaces on One Pigtail

The two ends connect in different ways. The FAKRA Z code female connector plugs into a compatible FAKRA male connector, while the coupling nut on the SMA male plug threads onto a matching SMA female port. The RG316 coaxial lead between them lets each connector line up with its own mating interface when the two ports face different directions. During installation, the SMA coupling nut can be turned independently of the cable, so the installer can secure the SMA connection without twisting the FAKRA end.

Short Reach Between Nearby Ports

The 10cm cable fits installations where the existing antenna lead already ends near the module. In a dashboard cavity or equipment enclosure, the short lead keeps the extra cable near the connection point, with less slack to tuck away. Before fixing the module in place, check that there is enough room to reach and turn the SMA coupling nut. Leave space for a gentle bend in the RG316 cable, especially if a bracket or enclosure wall sits directly behind either connector.

Applications

RF Remote Control Equipment

Bridge a FAKRA antenna lead and an SMA port on compatible RF remote control equipment. Check the mating connectors and operating frequency of the equipment before selecting the cable.

Navigation Antenna Integration

Connect a compatible FAKRA male antenna lead to the SMA female antenna input on a navigation receiver. The short adapter cable is useful when the existing antenna lead already reaches the receiver area and only the interface needs to change.

Fit Check and Ordering

Confirm the cable configuration

Part number AC-F03ZSJ-S01SP-316-10 has a FAKRA Z code female connector and an SMA male plug on a 10cm RG316 coaxial lead.

Check the available space

Make sure the 10cm lead reaches both ports and leaves enough room to turn the SMA coupling nut and route the cable without a sharp bend.

Check the mating connectors

Confirm that the existing lead has a compatible FAKRA male connector and that the equipment has a standard SMA female port. If the equipment also uses RP-SMA, check both the center contact and the outer thread.

Request a quote：Include the part number and required quantity. If the mating interfaces are unclear, attach connector photos or drawings for review.

Product FAQ

What does this cable connect ?
It connects a compatible FAKRA male interface to an SMA female port through a 10cm RG316 coaxial lead.

Is the threaded end SMA or RP SMA ?
The specified connector is SMA male. Check the center contact and thread on the mating port before ordering.

Can I use it with any navigation receiver ?
Fit depends on the antenna lead, the receiver port and the RF requirements. Confirm all three for the specific receiver model.

Can I add this adapter cable without modifying the existing antenna lead ?
Yes. If the existing lead has a compatible FAKRA male connector and the equipment has an SMA female port, the 10cm adapter cable connects between them without cutting the original coaxial cable or replacing its connector.
