Mini FAKRA To Dual FAKRA Cable

The PCM-ZC-0240 is a two channel automotive coaxial breakout cable that connects one Rosenberger Mini FAKRA Jack Z Code interface to two individual FAKRA Plug Z Code connectors. It provides two separate coaxial signal paths through a single dual-channel Mini FAKRA connection, making it suitable for automotive RF wiring where two coaxial connections need to be routed to different equipment locations.

The assembly uses the original Rosenberger AMK12B-1M4Z5-Z Mini FAKRA connector and two Rosenberger 59Z114-000-Z FAKRA plugs. LEONI COAX DACAR 302-4 cable provides the coaxial connections, maintaining separate center conductor paths and shield connections between the input and output interfaces.

Product Specifications

Connector Details and Bench Setup

Connector Configuration

The PCM-ZC-0240 features a dual coaxial breakout structure with one Rosenberger Mini FAKRA Jack Z Code connector at the input and two individual Rosenberger FAKRA Plug Z Code connectors at the output. The main connector uses AMK12B-1M4Z5-Z, while both output ends use 59Z114-000-Z. Unlike a conventional single coaxial extension cable, this assembly carries two separate coaxial paths through one compact Mini FAKRA interface. Each output terminates independently, allowing the two RF connections to be routed toward different components without requiring two separate input connectors.

Keying And Mating Compatibility

The main interface uses the Mini FAKRA Z Code configuration, while both output connectors use FAKRA Z Code housings. The Mini FAKRA and standard FAKRA connectors belong to different connector formats, so their respective mating components must be selected according to the correct series and mechanical configuration. Check the connector dimensions, Z Code identification and mating part numbers before installation. The keyed housing profiles help maintain the intended connection orientation and reduce the risk of using incompatible connector configurations in automotive RF wiring systems.

Coaxial Signal Paths And Shielding

The dual-channel arrangement maintains two independent coaxial paths from the Mini FAKRA connector to the two FAKRA output plugs. According to the wiring diagram, Pin 1 at the main connector connects to the center contact of P2, while Pin 2 connects to the center contact of P3. The corresponding shell connections provide the shield paths for both coaxial channels. This separate center conductor and shield arrangement allows each output to carry its own coaxial signal path. Maintaining the correct contact mapping and shield continuity is important when checking the assembly against the vehicle RF system wiring requirements.

Cable Construction And Mechanical Details

The assembly uses LEONI COAX DACAR 302-4 coaxial cable for both output branches. Each cable runs from the dual-channel Mini FAKRA connector to an individual FAKRA plug, creating a compact breakout layout for equipment integration. The overall cable length is specified as 1000±20mm, with a packing dimension of 120±20mm according to the engineering drawing. During installation, consider the routing distance, connector access and available space around the mating interfaces. Avoid excessive bending or pulling forces that could affect the cable or connector terminations.
