FAKRA Z CODED INTERFACE - Water blue (RAL 5021) housing with matching key slot built to the Code Z standard; the female jack (center socket) mates only with FAKRA Z male plugs, so wrong connections stop before they start

WATERPROOF SEALED BUILD - O-ring seals on the straight body block moisture and dust at exposed mounting points along door sills, pillars, roof lines and underbody runs

CRIMPS 3 CABLE TYPES - Machined straight body with crimp ferrule accepts RG316, RG174 and LMR100 coax for secure, strain-relieved ends on repair splices and custom jumper builds

STRAIGHT IN-LINE FIT - In-line cable exit follows the natural cable path through trunk channels and pillar looms, with no added bend where routing space is already tight

READY-TO-ASSEMBLE KIT - Each set includes housing, straight contact body, coded key insert and crimp ferrule to rebuild one factory-style antenna cable end

Product Description

Product Overview:
The waterproof FAKRA Z female jack connector is a straight crimp connector for terminating RG316, RG174 and LMR100 coaxial cable. Built to the FAKRA Z color-code standard with a water blue RAL 5021 housing and coded key, it rebuilds factory-style antenna cable ends for car radio and automotive RF applications.

Why It Works:
FAKRA interfaces lock with an audible click and use a keyed housing-and-key system, so a Code Z connector only latches with matching Code Z equipment. Red O-ring seals on the straight body keep moisture and dust out of the contact area at exposed mounting points. The in-line layout follows the natural cable path for clean routing, and the crimp ferrule delivers a mechanically secure, electrically stable termination.

Typical Applications:

• Car radio AM/FM antenna cable repair

• DAB+ radio antenna systems

• GPS antenna cable termination

• Satellite radio antenna runs

• Head units, splitters and antenna modules using FAKRA Z plugs

• Custom RG316 / RG174 / LMR100 jumper and pigtail builds

⚠️ Compatibility Warnings:

• Gender check: this is a JACK (female, center socket). It mates only with a FAKRA Z male PLUG. If your device has a female socket, you need the male version instead.

• Code match: water blue housing + coded key = Code Z. FAKRA uses many color/key combinations that look similar but will not latch together - confirm both ends are Code Z.

• Cable match: for RG316, RG174 and LMR100 only. Ferrule sizing is critical - verify your cable diameter before crimping.

• Waterproof scope: O-ring sealing is for splash and weather exposure; not rated for submersion.

• Passive component: like any RF connector, it adds natural insertion loss at the joint. It does not boost or amplify signal.

• Assembly: proper coax crimp tooling is required for a reliable, weatherproof termination.
