Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FA1-NMRP-PCB-9 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMB, Fakra
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Features: Code M
• Center Contact Material: Brass
• Body Material: Zinc Die Cast
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 125°C
• Mating Cycles: 100

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance (impedance, frequency rating, insertion loss) and mechanical compatibility (mounting configuration, termination method, connector geometry). Variations in product status, compliance certifications, or inventory availability do not affect functional substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 is a direct functional substitute for the FA1-NMRP-PCB-9. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and performance characteristics across all critical parameters including impedance, frequency rating, operating temperature range, and insertion loss.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status: FA1-NMRP-PCB-9 is Obsolete while FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 is Active. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this connector type, FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 is the appropriate selection due to its active status and continued manufacturer support.

Compliance considerations: FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification compared to RoHS Compliant for the main part, and is REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected. These compliance differences reflect current regulatory standards and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz frequency rating, through-hole right-angle solder mounting configuration, and operating temperature range. PCB layout and assembly procedures require no modification.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. FA1-NMRP-PCB-9 is Obsolete, while FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 is Active. Both are manufactured by Amphenol RF and maintain identical performance specifications. FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 also carries updated ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with PCB footprints or assembly?

A: No. Both connectors use identical through-hole right-angle solder termination and the same SMB Fakra connector geometry. Existing PCB designs and assembly processes are fully compatible without modification.

Q: Why should I transition from FA1-NMRP-PCB-9 to FA1-NMRP-PCB-8?

A: The FA1-NMRP-PCB-9 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 is an Active product with ongoing manufacturer support, ensuring long-term supply chain reliability and design continuity.

Q: Do these connectors have different mating cycle ratings?

A: No. Both connectors are rated for 100 mating cycles, providing identical mechanical durability and reliability characteristics.

Q: Are the insertion loss specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both FA1-NMRP-PCB-9 and FA1-NMRP-PCB-8 specify 0.3 dB insertion loss, ensuring equivalent RF performance in signal transmission applications.
