FK0MCG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FK0MCG is an active FAKRA GEN 1 Code C Blue Male Plug connector manufactured by Taoglas Limited, classified as a coaxial RF connector. This SMB-style Fakra connector is designed for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp termination for both center contact and shield. The connector operates across a frequency range up to 6 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance, suitable for automotive and RF applications requiring reliable coaxial connectivity. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and termination characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability in system designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FK0MCG are identified through strict parametric matching across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical for direct interchangeability:

Electrical Specifications: Impedance (50 Ohms), Frequency maximum rating (6 GHz), and connector type (Plug, Male Pin) must be identical to ensure signal integrity and RF performance compatibility.

Mechanical Specifications: Connector style (SMB, Fakra), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening type (Locking Ramp), and cable group compatibility (RG-174, 316) must match to ensure physical fit and installation compatibility.

Termination Specifications: Both contact termination and shield termination must be crimp-based to maintain consistency with assembly processes and mechanical reliability.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), mating cycle rating (25), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH status must align to ensure regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Housing & Identification: Code C designation and Blue housing color must be preserved for proper circuit identification and system integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FK0MCDK is a direct parametric equivalent to the FK0MCG. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical design (SMB Fakra connector, free-hanging in-line mounting), and termination methods (crimp contact and shield termination). Both parts maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory compatibility for current and future applications.

Selection between FK0MCG and FK0MCDK is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. FK0MCG has 960 pieces in stock, while FK0MCDK has 854 pieces in stock. Both parts are manufactured by Taoglas Limited and share the same base product number (FK0MC), confirming their interchangeability within system designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FK0MCDK be used as a direct replacement for FK0MCG?
