Cable plug (with a bracket) for automotive applications
SMB coaxial connector with a molded locking provision developed

We are pleased to announce the development and commencement of marketing of cable plugs (with a bracket). These are an extension of our VC series SMB coaxial connectors featuring a molded locking provision for automotive applications, which have been well accepted in the market.

The VC series connectors are of a coaxial design for automotive applications (connection of automotive equipment and an antenna) of a molded locking system with SMB (Sub Miniature type B) as the base. Its use for 50Ω applications is a standard practice with European automakers. Used also as a standard feature by American counterpart for digital radios, its market is steadily growing.

The new product is a cable plug featuring a bracket. Provision of a bracket with the connector body permits attachment of the plug section directly to equipment and enclosure chassis for easier cable laying in equipment. The bracket can be attached to the plug in any one of four directions, according to the customer's needs.

The usable coaxial cable sizes are equivalent to 0.8D (1.25 mm and 1.70 mm ODs).
