FAKRA (Fachkreis Automobil, a german standard) connectors are SMB-based automotive-grade connectors that can operate up to 6 GHz. These connectors are embedded within a plastic housing with a locking feature that has an audible clicking noise which lets you know a connection has been made.
FAKRA connectors are used as a standard interface for high-frequency telematics applications in vehicles, where the first priority is to ensure safety.
In autonomous driving and driver assistance systems, for example, there is a need to determine precise positioning, continuously calculate routes, and detect and classify objects. As a result, large amounts of data from multiple cameras, various sensors, and navigation sources must be combined and transmitted in real-time.
