Technologies that enable key robotics elements like cameras, sensors and antennas include significant amounts of RF interconnect products, including coaxial connectors, adapters and cable assemblies.
Richardson RFPD manufacturers are the world’s leading providers of precision robotics connectivity technology. Our engineers are available to assist in selecting the components best-suited for the development of secure, scalable and reliable products.
Amphenol RF — Enabling Robotics with RF Interconnect
Custom Camera Interconnect: Sealed automotive camera interconnect designed with overmolding of cable and connectors for a fully integrated, clean solution. Sealed interconnect prevents ingress of fluids and dust, while high float solutions allow for blind mating of camera back.
Adapters
Designed for applications requiring two RF interfaces (between-series or in-series) to be connected together
Connectors
Including AUTOMATE Mini-FAKRA, FAKRA, SMA, TNC, BNC, MCX and SMB.
Fixed-length cable assemblies
Pre-configured cable assemblies featuring common connector and cable configurations available in standard lengths
Carlisle — Enabling Robotics with RF Interconnect
Carlisle offers high-performance low loss interconnect solutions for 5G networks, Space & Defense, and test & measurement applications. Carlisle’s full lineup of customizable interconnect solutions leverage unique hybrid technology (RF + Digital + Power) with bandwidth up to 100 GHz.
Safe-D-LOCK® Connectors
Locks to the D-FLAT on the mating connector, providing a true lock that cannot be compromised when the cable is rotated. Safe-D-LOCK technology is contained entirely in the coupling nut of the connector, which allows the feature to be easily ported into different implementations, including low-profile, right-angle connectors.
SMP-L Interconnect Series
Incorporates Secure-Lok™, a patented locking mechanism, into the standard SMP interface, which reinforces holding power, making them less susceptible to vibration and other environmental factors in rugged applications. A reliable alternative to threaded connectors.
UTiFLEX® Ultra-Light Cable Assemblies
Provide up to 25% weight savings, very low insertion loss, and low SWR (1.25:1 to 40 GHz typical) in a flexible cable construction. Precision phase matching available.
Spectrum Control — Enabling Robotics with RF Interconnect
EMI Filter & Power Circular Connectors
Options includes power connector, transient survival, composite shell, black nickel zinc plating, hermetically sealed shell, aluminum alloy shell, stainless stell shell, and filtered audio connectors.
Filtered Connectors Solutions for UAV & Other Robotic Controls
EMI filter connectors safeguard automatic robotic control systems from RF interference and ensure the functions continue to operate accurately and safely.

Robotics Technologies
Communications
Enables robots to work together in teams, share data and resources by communicating through networks (LAN)/(WAN).
Positioning & Navigation
Allows robots to move locations, while accurately performing tasks and determining its position relative to its surroundings.
Payload Handling System
Payload Handling is the ability of a robot to manipulate and move objects of various sizes and weights.
Sensor System
Sensors provide input to the robot's control system and enable robots to perceive and interact with their environment.
Energy Storage / Supercapacitors
Supercapacitors are ideal for storing energy in ground vehicles due to their rapid charge/discharge efficiency, long lifetime, and high power density.
