• Insertion Loss: 0.3 dB (mandatory match)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMB, Fakra (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (mandatory match)
• Contact Termination: Solder (mandatory match)
• Shield Termination: Solder (mandatory match)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 125°C (mandatory match)
• Mating Cycles: 100 (mandatory match)
• RoHS Status: Compliant (mandatory match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (mandatory match)

The FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 meets all substitution criteria as an active equivalent to the obsolete FA1-NHRP-PCB-9.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete FA1-NHRP-PCB-9. Both parts share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications across all critical parameters. The FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is currently in active production status with 1067 units in stock, compared to the obsolete FA1-NHRP-PCB-9 with 941 units remaining.

From a compliance perspective, the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 provides enhanced regulatory coverage. While both parts are RoHS compliant, the substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current RoHS directive standard. Additionally, the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is REACH Affected, indicating full compliance with current REACH regulations, whereas the main part is REACH Unaffected due to its obsolete status.

For new designs and procurement planning, the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is the appropriate selection. For existing designs currently using FA1-NHRP-PCB-9, direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is electrically and mechanically identical to the FA1-NHRP-PCB-9 across all specified parameters, including impedance, frequency response, mounting configuration, and termination method. No design modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The FA1-NHRP-PCB-9 is obsolete, while the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is active in production. Both parts share the same base product number (FA1-NHRP) and are functionally equivalent. The FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 also carries updated compliance certifications (ROHS3 and REACH Affected).

Q: Are there any PCB layout or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical through-hole, right-angle mounting configurations. PCB footprints and solder pad layouts are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH Affected status on the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8?

A: REACH Affected status indicates that the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 contains substances of concern and is subject to REACH regulatory requirements. This is standard for active production components and does not affect functionality or performance. It reflects current regulatory compliance for the substitute part.

Q: Can I mix FA1-NHRP-PCB-9 and FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 components in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without performance degradation.

Q: What inventory considerations should I account for when transitioning from FA1-NHRP-PCB-9 to FA1-NHRP-PCB-8?

A: The FA1-NHRP-PCB-9 has 941 units in stock (obsolete status), while the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 has 1067 units available (active status). For long-term supply chain planning, the FA1-NHRP-PCB-8 is the recommended selection due to its active production status and higher availability.
