Does anyone know where I can buy FAKRA connectors in the UK?

I'm after just the plastic bits & retaining clips as I already have the wires crimped correctly but want to colour code the connectors correctly for easy identification.

Finding the full size MALE connectors (the ones with retaining clips) has proved fruitless anywhere in the world do far...

Thanks for the links but only Roka seem to have the parts I need listed! And thank goodness for Google Translate!

They don't look like a company to sell them in packs of less than 100 at a time, but I shall email them if I cannot find a UK company selling the parts I need.

Does anyone know of a UK based company that sells just the plastic bits of the FAKRA connectors?

Sorry for the foreign links, but as you didnt find anything, I tried to help.

You might ask the dealership for parts, as they are often able to order even the smallest parts.

Needs to have a man with a bit of knowledge though! (this is where it often fails here in Germany.

Not many parts men that are able (or willing) to find out the right order numbers).

Already ordered the pins that go into multi connectors for example.

Thanks for the help - Roka is certainly a possible contact. It's just that I prefer to deal with UK companies as much as possible (even in this day of technology and communication).

I have found a Chinese company (on eBay) that sell the female parts (with the crimp bits as well) and they have some male parts as well. No one seems to sell just the plastic bits...

I have asked at a dealership and have started looking for local car audio shops to try as well, but not with much luck so far.

It seems that the UK is devoid of places that will sell what I need!

Karl try Daltec - they sell single units and are UK based. I think Co-Star sell them as well.

I found Co-star, but couldn't see anyway to purchase from them.

I'll look up Daltec shortly.

Thanks for the info.

Daltec (like most suppliers of 'male' connectors) don't do the full length ones which have the plastic locking tab (to hold the plastic connector to the metal crimp on fittings).

Someone must supply these connectors as I have some (in the wrong colours) already fitted to some cables!

Still no luck with any supplier in the UK (unless I want to order 100!)

Thought I would post pictures of exactly what I am after as there are several sizes of connector shroud and I seem to want the ones that very few people sell...

Female conector:

Male connector:

It is just the plastic bits I want as I already have the cables professionally crimped - I just need to change the shrouds to the right colour and tabs.

It seems that the full length male connectors are on the way out. Everywhere.

Even the Chinese companies can't get them in many colours anymore.

The German companies I've contacted either haven't hit back to me or require large orders.

Any of you in Germany and can get them and post to me?

Hi KB

I live in Germany and could help you.

Isnt it cheaper to buy directly from them. Postage from here will cost too.

Thanks for the links.

I've already been in contact with rfstreet already about the connectors. They can supply the female connectors I need (as can most Chinese companies) but they seem to be running low on the beige (nit curry) male ones (longer length ones) and are not able to get white ones at all.

That's a very similar story to every other 'rf' company in China at the moment!

Roka have yet to reply to my email so no idea if they still have/make the ones I need.

Found this, not cheap:

Found this, not cheap:

No kidding! And add postage...

Thanks though.

Beginning to think that I might need to be less bothered about the colours...

OK - so I have given in and ordered them from rfsupplies in China (via eBay).

They don't have the white male connector though - but I think that I am going to live without that for now as I think I might have a spare one left over once I near completion.

Thanks to everyone for their links and help.

Update: I have now got the female connectors I need, but no male ones as yet!

I simply cannot source the right ones (although I think I have a supplier of the white 'B' connector now).

It seems to be impossible to find the beige ('I' / 1001) connector I need anywhere in the world in small quantities.

Can anyone help complete the last part of my project?

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Thanks. That's the white ones I have my eye on: its rare to find the full length male ones.

I contacted that company yesterday to see if they can supply the beige (type 'I') connectors and other colours as well. I also contacted 2 other companies via eBay who sell the 'neutral' FAKRA connector (one in Germany and another one in China)

Will have to wait until Monday.
