Quadraxial HSD Fakra Plug, Code A Keying
The Amphenol HSDNASPPCB14B is a single-port HSD Fakra quadraxial plug with Code A mechanical keying, designed for 100 Ohm differential impedance automotive Ethernet, camera, and infotainment links. The 25 mating cycle rating is sufficient for production-line assembly and occasional field service, but not for frequent disconnect-reconnect duty.
Code A Keying and Mating Compatibility
The Code A keying distinguishes this plug from other HSD Fakra variants (Code B, C, D, etc.) by the mechanical polarization of the plastic housing and the center pin arrangement. A Code A plug will only mate with a Code A receptacle — mismatched keying prevents insertion, protecting the contacts and avoiding signal cross-wiring in multi-port harnesses. For a 100 Ohm quadraxial system, verify the receptacle side is also Code A before committing the BOM line.
Through-Hole Termination and Packaging for the Line
Tray packaging means the connector presents as a single part per pocket — no tape-and-reel feed for high-speed pick-and-place. Plan for manual or tray-fed placement; the tray quantity should be confirmed at quote time to match the build volume without partial-tray waste.
