Chinese supplier of automotive connector wires, providing custom and OEM automotive Amphenol connector cables.
Designing automotive wiring harnesses is one of the most demanding of all applications. Between the huge operating temperature range, excessive vibration and long-term reliability requirements, designing and qualifying electronic components for automotive use is the most talked about part of the industry. As modern vehicles become more electrified with more wireless connections. New size and weight standards for mechanical components such as radio frequency connectors come into play to keep overall vehicle weight to a minimum and improve fuel efficiency, especially in electric vehicles.

More recently, many engineers designing products for other fields such as industrial automation have realized that they can leverage the power of automotive products in their designs. Connectors and other wire components commonly used in automobiles are now finding new applications, such as robotics, machine vision systems and test equipment, where the extended temperature range and reliability will help improve efficiency and quality. On this week’s New Technology Tuesday, we take a look at Amphenol RF connectors that meet the needs of today’s automotive and industrial automation applications.

Amphenol RF Connectors
Amphenol RF’s AUTOMATE ® Type A Mini-FAKRA Connectors and Cable Assemblies were originally designed for use in a variety of automotive applications. This series features space-conscious, high-performance interfaces and is used in next-generation machine vision systems. Its size and 20Gbps transfer rate connect the camera to an edge device running machine learning algorithms.

Traditional FAKRA automotive connectors are an excellent choice when environmental conditions are a concern. FAKRA automotive connectors operate from DC to 6GHz and meet the demanding mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry. The design features a color-coded, mechanically keyed housing for secure mating.

As our manufacturing facilities and warehouses become more connected using wireless protocols such as Zigbee, BLUETOOTH® and 5G, traditional subminiature and SMA connectors are increasingly used in automotive and industrial applications.

FAKRA connectors from the automotive sector are often combined with subminiature connectors and are often used in wirelessly connected IoT applications or other RF applications such as RFID, GPS and ADAS. Subminiature connectors, including Amphenol RF’s AMC and AMC4 series, feature an extremely small board size and low profile, and terminate to micro coaxial cables with diameters from 0.81 mm to 1.37 mm. For industrial applications exposed to hash environments, RG-178 is an ideal choice.

SMA connectors are used in semiconductor manufacturing and test equipment. In addition to standard and custom SMA products, the line includes adapters, terminators, attenuators, and cable assemblies to meet a wide range of design requirements.

Amphenol RF automotive connectors represent some of the most rugged electronics available to design engineers. However, many are not for vehicles, but for robotics and automated equipment, which will help improve efficiency, reliability and overall lifecycle.
