To keep RF interconnection costs low and ensure high levels of electrical and mechanical performance for telematic applications, the German and American automotive industries have standardized a high-performing, cost-effective RF connector based on the FAKRA and USCAR standards. Utilizing a standard metal SMB connector embedded within a plastic housing that can be designed with multiple colored codes for easy identification, FAKRA connectors are designed to perform up to 4GHz and meet the particular mechanical and environmental requirements of the automobile industry. Amphenol offers both its original FAKRA connectors, which incorporate machined components, as well as its FAKRA II connector series which utilizes die cast as well as stamped and formed components.
