Create connections between vehicles and RF interfaces with new adapters

Amphenol RF has introduced additional high-performance FAKRA to SMA adapters into its extensive catalogue of RF interconnect products. With cross-system compatibility, the FAKRA to SMA adapter is designed to connect FAKRA-dependent automotive systems with SMA-based RF devices. The push-on coupling mechanism of the FAKRA interface and the threaded coupling mechanism of the SMA interface ensure secure, application-specific connections. Delivering broad frequency support with operating capabilities of up to 4GHz, this adapter is ideal for GPS, test and measurement instrumentation, LTE, and V2X communication protocols.

This adapter is engineered with durable materials that ensure efficient performance and longevity in harsh conditions. The ruggedised body and shell are constructed from nickel-plated brass over copper strike, while the contact is manufactured from gold-plated brass over nickel and copper strike. A natural-coloured PTFE insulator delivers high-frequency stability. The housing is made from 30% glass-filled Nylon 46, while the retainer ring is natural finished SUS304.

These high-quality materials make the FAKRA to SMA adapters suited for use in automotive, industrial automation, and testing equipment, joining a wide selection of RF adapters available as off-the-shelf solutions.
