Sumitomo 6098-6841 3-Way Female HFC III Connector (Blue)

The Component: Genuine Sumitomo high-performance unsealed female socket connector plug housing. HFC III (High Frequency Connector) Series taxonomy / 3-position single-row linear female casing / Standard Keying Profile (Distinct Blue / Premium PBT / Unsealed Non-Waterproof / 1x3 Grid Configuration / Female High-Frequency Coaxial Plug / Component Variant Alias: 6098-6841 / Global Order Reference: 60986841).

Applications & Fitment: Engineered as a premium, low-loss original equipment (OE) coaxial signal connection plug designed explicitly for high-frequency telematics and antenna networks within protected, non-submerged interior cabin environments. This 3-pin female coaxial housing is a specialized wiring harness staple across Japanese passenger vehicle platforms—frequently deployed for multi-band roof antenna systems, GPS navigation modules, cellular telemetry modules, and satellite radio tuner feeds. It features a robust, low-profile top-mounted mechanical thumb latch that ensures secure, low-tolerance retention against matching device headers to prevent high-frequency signal attenuation caused by contact drift or line vibration. Built to meet strict global automotive electronic validation standards, its premium PBT architecture guarantees maximum terminal placement stability and shielding continuity. Highly vulnerable to top-latch arm fracture or internal guide rail warping if field technicians attempt forced service separation without cleanly depressing the main release hinge.
