AUTOMATE Mini-FAKRA Type C Connectors
Sealed Mini-FAKRA connectors engineered for durability in industrial applications
Overview
AUTOMATE® Type C connectors offer a space-conscious, high-performance solution designed for the demanding requirements of industrial applications.
This ruggedized RF interface supports high-frequency signal transmission and is ideal for infrastructure requiring robust mechanical retention under vibration, error-proof assembly in high volume manufacturing and scalable port density for multi-channel RF systems. Type C connectors are environmentally sealed for outdoor and wash-down conditions for an added layer of protection in conditions that are not optimal. Type C is available in straight PCB and cable-mount configurations. Mechanical and visual keying prevent mismating, while integrated locking features ensure reliable connection integrity over the life of the system.
