What Is the 3FA1ENASJ-C04ES and Where Is It Used?
The Amphenol RF 3FA1ENASJ-C04ES is an SMB Fakra jack, female socket, terminated with a solder contact and a crimped shield. The IP67 rating means the mated pair is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion, so this connector suits exterior vehicle harnesses, roof-mount antenna cables, and washdown-area sensor links. The Code A keying is part of the Fakra standard, ensuring the correct color-coded housing mates only with its matching receptacle — a non-negotiable fit for production harness builds.
Cable Compatibility and Termination
This jack is designed for a specific cable group: RG-58, 58A, 58B, 58C, 141, 303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907. The crimp shield termination and solder contact work with the 50 Ohm impedance of these cables, so the signal path stays matched through the transition from cable to connector. The free-hanging in-line mounting means the connector is terminated to the cable end, not to a panel or PCB — it is the cable-side half of the mated pair.
Mating Cycles and Field Service
The gold-plated center contact on phosphor bronze resists corrosion and maintains contact resistance over those cycles.
