AUTOMATE Type A Cable Assemblies

AUTOMATE Type A Cable Assemblies

AUTOMATE Type A
The AUTOMATE® Mini-FAKRA connector series, the latest in automotive interconnect technology, is a space-conscious, high-performance interface central to the next generation of vehicle applications.

Amphenol RF offers a wide range of AUTOMATE Type A Mini-FAKRA cable assemblies to meet the demands of automotive and industrial applications. These cable assemblies are designed on industry-standard cable types, such as TFC 302LL and RG-174, in multiple single, dual and quad-port in-series and between-series configurations with IP-rated options for applications requiring enhanced environmental protection. These assemblies feature a convenient snap-on interface on the mini-FAKRA end that offers a secure threaded connection that enables robust, high-speed connectivity ideal for ADAS, camera systems, and product development environments, including laboratory use.

The AUTOMATE Mini-FAKRA is designed with compact, modular housing and a quad-port configuration. It provides a space savings of up to 80% compared with traditional FAKRA connectors. The universal Z color coding and mechanical keying allows it to be intermateablewith all other key codes. This assembly offers high-performance up to 9 GHz with secure and easy mating and unmating.
