Hirschmann KK65 DIN Socket Antenna Cable Coupling

Hirschmann KK65 Coaxial Cable Coupling - Art. No. 822 199-000

Description
The genuine Hirschmann KK65 coaxial cable coupling (Part No. 822 199-000) is a vintage automotive inline antenna socket designed for extending and repairing vehicle aerial cabling. Functioning as a standard female DIN antenna coupling, it connects seamlessly with virtually any standard male DIN (Motorola) aerial plug - including the classic Hirschmann Kast 50 connector. Originally designed for 5 mm coaxial cable, the flexible entry collar can be easily expanded to accommodate 6 mm or 7 mm aerial cables, ensuring strong signal transmission and proper RF shielding in classic car audio installations.

Installation & Assembly Tips:

• Cable Preparation: Strip the outer jacket and inner conductor of the coaxial cable cleanly to ensure solid core contact and prevent shorting against the braided earth shield.
• Expanding Cable Entry: When fitting 6 mm or 7 mm coaxial cable, carefully stretch or enlarge the flexible entry collar before sliding the cable through.
• Connector Fitment: Plug any standard male DIN antenna lead directly into the female coupling socket until firmly seated to maintain a continuous RF shield connection.
