1438893-3

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors model 1438893-3 is a single-position plug housing belonging to the FAKRA connector system. Designed for cable-to-cable interconnection, this component features a 180-degree orientation and utilizes FA (Fast Access) technology. The housing is constructed for direct cable installation and is not sealable. It serves as a critical interface element within high-frequency data connectivity applications, providing mechanical retention and alignment for mating connectors without electrical sealing capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Supports 180-degree cable exit orientation for streamlined routing
• Incorporates FA (Fast Access) technology for rapid engagement
• Designed specifically for cable-to-cable system integration

Applications

• High-frequency data connectivity assemblies
• Cable-to-cable interconnection systems
• FAKRA connector mating interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify that the application does not require environmental sealing, as this specific housing variant is explicitly non-sealable. Confirm compatibility with the intended FAKRA mating counterpart and ensure the cable preparation method aligns with the FA termination requirements specified in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this housing when a non-sealed, single-position connection is required. The 180-degree design aids in managing cable strain and routing direction. Ensure the mating environment does not demand ingress protection, as alternative sealed housings must be chosen if environmental resistance is necessary.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader FAKRA family managed by TE Connectivity, specialized for automotive and industrial data transmission. Unlike standard rectangular connectors, FAKRA housings are engineered for coaxial signal integrity. This specific plug housing acts as the receptacle interface for male counterparts in RF data links.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-referencing requires matching the single-position count, 180-degree orientation, and FA locking mechanism. Verify that any substitute maintains identical dimensional tolerances for the coaxial center contact and outer shield retention to ensure signal performance.
