AUTOMATE Type A Cable Assemblies
Overview
Amphenol RF’s AUTOMATE Mini-FAKRA Type A cable assemblies are engineered to support the growing data and signal demands of modern automotive systems. These assemblies feature compact Mini-FAKRA Type A connectors terminated to low-loss coaxial cable, providing reliable performance up to 9 GHz. Built to industry-standard USCAR-2 and designed with automotive-grade materials, these solutions are ideal for ADAS, infotainment, and V2X communications.
The Mini-FAKRA Type A interface enables up to 80% space savings over traditional FAKRA connectors, supporting higher circuit densities in constrained vehicle architectures. Each assembly is color-coded and keyed to ensure proper mating and prevent misconnection. All standard AUTOMATE assemblies are hi-pot and continuity tested, and IP67-sealed options are available for harsh or outdoor environments. These cable assemblies support the evolution of autonomous driving and connected vehicle infrastructure.
