FK0MLG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FK0MLG is an SMB Fakra Connector Plug manufactured by Taoglas Limited, designed for RF coaxial applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance. This male pin connector features crimp termination for both contact and shield, with a carmine red housing and locking ramp fastening mechanism. The part is classified as a coaxial connector (RF) and is currently in active product status with 1121 pieces available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for component procurement, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FK0MLG are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

Electrical Parameters:

• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMB, Fakra
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Group: RG-174, 316
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Housing Color: Red, Carmine
• Mating Cycles: 25

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part FK0MLDK meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the FK0MLG.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FK0MLG and FK0MLDK are active products manufactured by Taoglas Limited with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements:

FK0MLG: 1121 pieces in stock. Primary selection for new designs and standard procurement.

FK0MLDK: 742 pieces in stock. Suitable for use when FK0MLG availability is constrained or for supply chain diversification.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for RF coaxial connector applications. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements. The identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and mating cycle rating (25) ensure equivalent performance in automotive and industrial RF applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FK0MLDK be used as a direct replacement for FK0MLG in existing designs?

A: Yes. FK0MLDK is electrically and mechanically equivalent to FK0MLG across all specified parameters, including impedance, frequency response, termination method, mounting configuration, and environmental ratings. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: Are there any differences in connector performance between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical design (SMB Fakra plug with crimp termination), and environmental operating range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the Code L designation?

A: Code L is a Fakra connector classification that defines the connector's electrical and mechanical interface standard. Both FK0MLG and FK0MLDK carry this designation, ensuring compatibility with Code L Fakra receptacles and mating connectors.

Q: Do these connectors require special handling or storage?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage conditions are appropriate.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both FK0MLG and FK0MLDK are designed for RG-174 and RG-316 cable groups. Crimp termination is required for both contact and shield connections.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components in automotive and industrial applications.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating, and what does it indicate?

A: Both parts are rated for 25 mating cycles, indicating the connector can withstand 25 complete connection and disconnection operations while maintaining electrical and mechanical integrity.
