Mini FAKRA To Quad FAKRA Coaxial Cable

The PCM-ZC-0263 is a four channel automotive coaxial breakout cable designed to connect one TE Mini FAKRA Plug Z Code interface to four individual Rosenberger FAKRA Plug Z Code connectors. It provides four separate coaxial connection paths from a single compact input connector, offering a practical solution for automotive RF wiring where multiple connection points are required.

The assembly combines the original TE 2-2298724-9 Mini FAKRA connector with four Rosenberger 59Z114-000-Z FAKRA plugs and LEONI COAX DACAR 302-4 cable. Each output maintains its own center conductor and shield connection, supporting organized RF cable routing between compatible vehicle electronic modules and antenna interfaces.

Product Specifications

Connector Details and Bench Setup

Connector Configuration

The PCM-ZC-0263 uses one TE Mini FAKRA Plug Z Code connector as the main interface, branching into four individual Rosenberger FAKRA Plug Z Code connectors. The main connector is the original TE 2-2298724-9 component, while all four output connectors use Rosenberger 59Z114-000-Z. This configuration combines four coaxial connections within one compact input housing, making it suitable for applications where several RF connection points need to originate from a common interface. Each output has its own cable termination, allowing the four connectors to be positioned independently according to the equipment layout.

Keying And Mating Compatibility

Both the input and output connectors use Z Code configurations, but they belong to different connector series. The input is a TE Mini FAKRA Plug, while the four outputs are Rosenberger standard FAKRA Plugs. Their mating components must therefore be selected according to the respective connector series, mechanical dimensions and coding requirements. Before installation, verify the TE 2-2298724-9 and Rosenberger 59Z114-000-Z part numbers against the mating interfaces in the target equipment. Correct connector identification helps avoid mismatched connections when integrating different FAKRA formats into the same automotive RF system.

Coaxial Signal Paths And Shielding

The four contact positions of the main Mini FAKRA connector are routed to four separate FAKRA outputs. According to the engineering drawing, Pin 1 connects to P3, Pin 2 connects to P2, Pin 3 connects to P5 and Pin 4 connects to P4. Each path maintains its own center conductor and corresponding shield connection, forming four individual coaxial channels. This arrangement allows the output connectors to carry separate RF signal paths without combining the center conductors. The defined contact mapping also provides a clear reference for continuity inspection and wiring verification during production and system integration.

Cable Construction And Mechanical Details

The assembly uses LEONI COAX DACAR 302-4 cable for all four coaxial branches. Each cable runs from the common TE Mini FAKRA connector to an individual Rosenberger FAKRA plug, creating a compact harness with separately terminated outputs. The specified overall cable length is 500±15mm. The four cable runs can be arranged toward different equipment positions within the available installation space. During installation, consider the routing direction, connector accessibility and clearance around adjacent components. Avoid excessive cable bending or pulling forces to maintain the integrity of the coaxial cable and its terminations.

Applications & Product Benefits

Automotive RF Signal Integration

Connect four individual coaxial interfaces through one Mini FAKRA input. The four output paths provide a convenient wiring arrangement for automotive RF systems requiring multiple connections from a common interface.

Vehicle Antenna and Communication Systems

Suitable for compatible vehicle antenna modules, RF communication equipment and automotive electronic systems using Mini FAKRA and standard FAKRA interfaces. The separate outputs allow different connection points to be routed according to equipment placement.

Multi Channel RF Equipment Connections

The four independent coaxial paths support equipment configurations that require multiple RF connections within one harness. This helps organize signal wiring and reduces the need to manage several individual input cable assemblies.

Custom Automotive Coaxial Cable Assemblies

Premier Cable supports customized coaxial cable lengths, connector combinations and wiring configurations based on customer drawings or reference samples. This flexibility helps manufacturers match cable assemblies to their equipment interfaces and installation requirements.
