Rugged Automotive-Grade Coaxial Interconnects for ADAS and In-Vehicle Vision Systems
ATTEND, a leading provider of advanced connectivity solutions, introduces its Automotive Camera FAKRA-SMB RF Connectivity Solution, designed to enable reliable RF signal transmission between automotive camera modules and vehicle coaxial cable networks. The solution integrates a compact SMB PCB mount connector with a rugged FAKRA-to-SMB adapter, providing stable connectivity for modern in-vehicle imaging systems used in ADAS, surround-view, and driver monitoring applications.
Supporting frequencies from DC to 6 GHz, the solution ensures strong signal integrity through effective EMI shielding and secure mechanical locking. The FAKRA adapter also provides IP67 and IP69K environmental protection and complies with SAE/USCAR-2, USCAR-17, and ISO 20860-1/2 automotive standards.
“Automotive camera systems require reliable RF connectivity in compact and harsh environments,” said Leon Hung, Product Manager at ATTEND. “Our FAKRA-SMB solution provides a stable interface between camera modules and vehicle coaxial networks, ensuring signal integrity for next-generation ADAS applications.”
