Amphenol RF introduced FAKRA to SMA cable assemblies, combining the automotive industry standard FAKRA connector with the popular SMA connector to accommodate applications such as antennas, RFID, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The newly released 50-ohm FAKRA to SMA assemblies use the snap-on FAKRA interface on one end and the threaded SMA interface on the other. FAKRA connectors offer a rugged, impact resistant body with mechanically keyed and color-coded housings that meet all automotive industry USCAR-17 standards. The SMA connector allows for easy connect and disconnect along with its compact size adding to the versatile usage from commercial to industrial applications.
FAKRA to SMA cable assemblies are available in standard lengths on flexible RG-58 and RG- 174 cables and offer reliable electric performance up to 3 GHz. They are for existing and next generation automotive applications involving connecting to external antennas including GPS, drones and 360-degree cameras.
