Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete FA1-NKRP-PCB-9. Both components share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications across all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility.

Product Status Consideration: The FA1-NKRP-PCB-9 is classified as Obsolete, while the FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 maintains Active status. For new designs and ongoing production, the FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing compliance with the most current RoHS directive iteration, compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the main part. This provides enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to evolving environmental standards.

REACH Regulatory Status: The FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 is designated as REACH Affected, indicating it is subject to REACH regulation requirements. Organizations operating under REACH jurisdiction must account for this regulatory framework in procurement and supply chain documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FA1-NKRP-PCB-9 across all specified parameters, including impedance, frequency response, mounting configuration, and termination method. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The FA1-NKRP-PCB-9 is Obsolete, while the FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 is Active. Additionally, the FA1-NKRP-PCB-8 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and is subject to REACH regulation, whereas the FA1-NKRP-PCB-9 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected.
