What are the international standards for Fakra cables?

The international standards related to Fakra cables mainly include the following:

ISO 20860 series standards

ISO 20860-1： Clear regulations have been established for the interface standards and performance requirements of Fakra connectors, covering the basic design, dimensions, electrical performance, and other aspects of Fakra connectors. This is an important basis for the design and production of Fakra products. For example, the transmission frequency range, characteristic impedance, and other parameters of Fakra connectors have been specified.

ISO 20860-2： Further specifications may be made for specific aspects or extended applications of Fakra connectors based on ISO 20860-1, but there is currently no detailed content displayed.

SAE USCAR series standards

SAE USCAR-17： It is an important testing standard for Fakra connectors, involving mechanical performance testing, environmental stress testing, electrical performance testing, EMC and signal integrity testing requirements and methods for Fakra connectors. Testing items such as insertion and extraction cycles, vibration/mechanical shock, insulation resistance, shielding effectiveness, etc. are clearly defined to ensure the reliability and stability of Fakra cables and connectors in complex environments such as automobiles.

SAE USCAR-18： Supplementary regulations have been made for Fakra SMB RF connectors, providing recommended usage for unidirectional and bidirectional connectors as well as size requirements for bidirectional connectors to ensure interchangeability between products from different manufacturers.

SAE USCAR-2： Related to the performance requirements of Fakra connectors, in conjunction with SAE USCAR-17 and other standards, standardize the electrical performance and other aspects of Fakra products.

ISO 19642-11： This standard is for automotive RF coaxial cables, covering 22 types of coaxial cables and specifying the dimensions and requirements for coaxial RF cables with a specified analog bandwidth of up to 6GHz (20GHz) used in automobiles. It is applicable to the currently popular Mini Fakra connector.
