Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FA1-NERP-PCB-9 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMB, FAKRA
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz or greater
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 125°C (minimum)
• Mating Cycles: 100 or greater
• Insertion Loss: 0.3 dB or lower

Substitute parts must match all critical parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility with existing PCB designs and mating components. Variations in product status, compliance certifications, or inventory levels do not affect substitution eligibility but may influence procurement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FA1-NERP-PCB-8 be used as a direct replacement for the FA1-NERP-PCB-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FA1-NERP-PCB-8 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the FA1-NERP-PCB-9, including connector style, mounting configuration, impedance, frequency rating, operating temperature range, and termination method. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 represents the current version of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, incorporating updated substance restrictions and compliance requirements. Both designations indicate compliance with hazardous substance limitations; ROHS3 reflects the most recent regulatory framework.

Q: Does the REACH Affected status of the FA1-NERP-PCB-8 affect its use in my application?

A: REACH Affected status indicates that the part is subject to Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations. Organizations operating within REACH jurisdictions must ensure their supply chain compliance procedures account for this designation. The technical performance of the connector is not affected.

Q: Are the insertion loss and mating cycle specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the FA1-NERP-PCB-9 and FA1-NERP-PCB-8 specify 0.3 dB insertion loss and 100 mating cycles, ensuring equivalent signal integrity and mechanical durability performance.

Q: What is the significance of the Code E feature designation?

A: Code E is a FAKRA connector feature designation that identifies specific electrical and mechanical characteristics within the FAKRA connector family. Both parts carry this designation, confirming compatibility with Code E mating components and systems.

Q: Is the through-hole right-angle mounting configuration the same for both connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination for contact and shield. PCB layout and assembly procedures remain unchanged when substituting the FA1-NERP-PCB-8 for the FA1-NERP-PCB-9.
