Mini-FAKRA cable assemblies portfolio for automotive and industrial applications

Amphenol RF has expanded its AUTOMATE Mini-FAKRA cable assembly portfolio with further pre-configured cable assemblies. These assemblies are offered in straight single, dual, or quad-port mini-FAKRA jack-to-jack configurations and are created on flexible RG-174 cables. AUTOMATE assemblies support data transmission rates up to 20Gbps, which makes them excellent for automotive and industrial IoT applications that need high data transfer rates to communicate information for safety, performance, and entertainment without lag.

AUTOMATE Type A mini-FAKRA connectors are constructed with a closed entry cable interface that limits mating parts' size to prevent contact damage during mating. They also provide a secondary locking mechanism known as terminal position assurance or TPA, ensuring the body and contact are retained and fully seated in the housing. These connectors offer reliable electrical performance up to 9GHz with low engagement forces for secure mating and easy installation. The rugged, impact-resistance body allows them to be utilised in harsh environments such as vehicles and factory settings.

The cable assembly is available at various lengths, from 6" to 12m, and in the universally keyed Z code, which allows them to mate with all other key codes. These assemblies are fully compatible with existing mini-FAKRA connectors and ideal for 360° surround view cameras, ECUs and compute modules, autonomous vehicles, warehouse robotics, advanced driver assistance systems, infotainment, GPS navigation and V2X communication.
