The Delock "DELOCK FAKRA Z-St PCB" is a high-quality RF connector designed for direct mounting onto printed circuit boards (PCB). It belongs to the universal FAKRA "Z" coding, which is commonly used when a neutral, non-application-specific coding is required or when flexible assignments are needed in development and system integration. This connector is suitable for RF applications in the automotive, industrial and communication sectors where reliable high-frequency signal transmission and mechanical robustness are essential.
From a technical perspective, FAKRA Z-type PCB connectors are typically designed for coaxial RF lines and support common RF standards used in telematics, antenna connections (e.g. GNSS/GPS, radio, cellular, WLAN, Bluetooth), camera systems and other data or signal links in vehicles and industrial electronics. The PCB mounting concept enables a space-saving and mechanically stable integration directly onto the board, which helps to reduce cabling complexity and simplifies assembly. The robust FAKRA housing offers defined latching and strain relief, which improves vibration resistance and connection reliability in demanding environments.
In terms of applications, the DELOCK FAKRA Z-St PCB is well suited for use in control units, telematics modules, infotainment systems, antenna modules and RF interface boards in both automotive and non-automotive fields. Development teams can use it on prototypes and series PCBs to route RF signals from internal circuits to external antennas, sensors or external test interfaces. The neutral Z-coding is particularly useful in laboratories, test setups and universal platforms where a single connector type should cover different RF functions without being limited to a specific coding colour or application.
The advantages of this connector include a compact design, secure locking, and an industry-standard FAKRA interface that ensures good compatibility with matching FAKRA cables and devices. The PCB mounting helps reduce assembly time and potential wiring errors, and allows for consistent, reproducible RF performance due to defined geometry and controlled impedance when used with appropriate PCB layout. This supports stable signal quality and can contribute to reduced maintenance and downtime.
Delock is a brand known for connectivity products, adapters, and interface solutions for IT, industrial and embedded applications. The company focuses on practical, standards-based components that offer users a long-term, reliable choice for expanding and integrating their systems. While detailed, product-specific sustainability measures for this connector are not publicly available, many of Delock's product lines are designed with durability and long-term availability in mind. Long-lasting, reliable components can help reduce electronic waste, as devices and installations need to be replaced or serviced less frequently. By choosing a robust and standard-compliant connector like the DELOCK FAKRA Z-St PCB, customers can contribute to more sustainable system designs that favour longevity and repairability over frequent replacement, thus making a small but meaningful contribution to resource conservation in their technical projects.
