USCAR & FAKRA Connectors Product Roundup  

This week’s Product Roundup highlights USCAR & FAKRA connectors from leading connector manufacturers and suppliers.

USCAR & FAKRA Connectors

PEI-Genesis offers FAKRA connectors from Amphenol RF. These connectors are designed to perform up to 3 GHz and meet the particular mechanical and environmental requirements of the automotive industry.

JAE has developed the industry’s smallest class MX66 Series waterproof cable harness that complies with the FAKRA standard used in ADAS, connected cars, and more. It achieves waterproof performance equivalent to IPX9K on mating. Four different directions are supported for a cable pull-out, including straight or angle connectors for in-vehicle cameras. Coaxial cable (equivalent to 1.5D) is applicable, with wire diameter Φ2.8 mm (D462 in Europe, etc.).

ATTEND’s FAKRA connectors and cable assemblies are fully compliant with USCAR-2 and USCAR-17 standards. These standards ensure excellent performance in high-temperature, vibration-intensive, and corrosive environments, guaranteeing long-term reliability under the toughest automotive conditions. Supporting frequencies up to 6 GHz, the FAKRA solutions meet the demanding requirements of modern in-vehicle communications, cameras, GPS, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for high-speed data transmission. Featuring a robust color-coded and mechanical keying system, these connectors simplify large-scale manufacturing and installation while minimizing mis-mating risks. The superior shielding effectively isolates complex electromagnetic interference within the vehicle. Combined with flexible, wear-resistant cable materials, the assemblies deliver stable and durable performance in confined, frequently flexed automotive environments.

Molex FAKRA RF Connectors available at Heilind deliver sealed, high-performance solutions for automotive applications including cameras, antennas, GPS, keyless entry, and satellite radio. Designed with IP69K protection, mechanical keying, and color coding, these connectors ensure secure, reliable connections. Meeting USCAR and FAKRA standards, they support next-generation vehicle safety, infotainment, and autonomous technologies.

JPC’s FAKRA connectors fully adhere to USCAR-18 requirements. They are ISO 20860-1 certified and RoHS compliant. With superior RF performance and excellent connection reliability, the connectors feature a primary and secondary lock system that ensures secure engagement and superior anti-vibration functionality. JPC’s Mini-FAKRA connector series is a space-conscious, high-performance interface designed for the next generation of vehicle applications. JPC’s 50Ω Mini-FAKRA line includes color-coded housings for A, B, C, D, E, F, and Z. JPC offers a wide range of custom FAKRA cable assemblies using its portfolio of high-performance FAKRA and Mini-FAKRA connectors. Designing with Mini-FAKRA can help manufacturers reduce space requirements by up to 80% compared with traditional FAKRA products. Find JPC at the SPS Nuremberg exhibition November 25-27 (Hall 10.0, Booth 502).

Adam Tech’s FAKRA series is composed of various generations of the FAKRA standard, including high speed data and mini FAKRA. Adam Tech’s standard, high speed data (HSD) and mini styles come with a range of configurability options. Choose the appropriate keying option for your application. Each FAKRA connector is embedded within a special color-coded plastic housing that contains a locking feature with an audible clicking noise to confirm the connection. These connectors are used for both board and cable mounting, with a variety of cable assemblies available. All Adam Tech FAKRA products are RoHS compliant. They are SMB based automotive-grade connectors that can operate up to 6 GHz. Adam Tech’s high speed mini FAKRA cable assemblies support the automotive industry with the next generation of coaxial technology. These products support data transmission rates up to 20 Gb/s and frequencies up to 9 GHz. The offering includes multiple color-coded double-ended mini FAKRA jack cable assemblies, as well as mini FAKRA to standard FAKRA cable assemblies.

Amphenol LTW’s Metric Circular, X-Lok, and FLOS families can be tailored with materials and designs that meet strict USCAR standards, ensuring dependable performance for EV charging, ADAS, infotainment, and power systems. In parallel, ALTW is actively shaping FAKRA solutions through ongoing projects in ATVs, utility, and rugged vehicles. These custom versions combine reliable RF performance with proven water- and dust-tight sealing, built to thrive in the harshest conditions. With deep expertise in material science and environmental engineering, ALTW delivers connectors that help automotive brands accelerate innovation and reliability on every road.
