Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FA2-NASP-C01-9 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style (SMB, Fakra)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Frequency maximum (4 GHz or higher)
• Insertion loss (0.3 dB or lower)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Shield termination method (Crimp)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Cable group compatibility (RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, M17/119-RG174)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (must encompass or match -40°C ~ 100°C)
• Mating cycles (100 minimum)
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 2FA1-NASP-C01-1 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in body material (Zinc Die Cast vs. Brass), dielectric material options (includes PMP), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C) do not preclude substitution when the primary functional requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FA2-NASP-C01-9 and 2FA1-NASP-C01-1 are Active status products manufactured by Amphenol RF with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

The substitute part 2FA1-NASP-C01-1 provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -40°C ~ 100°C), which offers additional thermal margin for applications operating near the upper temperature limit. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (0.3 dB insertion loss, 4 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical compatibility with the specified cable groups.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements: the FA2-NASP-C01-9 is appropriate for standard temperature range applications, while the 2FA1-NASP-C01-1 is suitable when extended thermal performance is required. Both parts satisfy equivalent functional requirements for 50-ohm SMB Fakra plug connectors in RF systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2FA1-NASP-C01-1 be used as a direct replacement for FA2-NASP-C01-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style (SMB, Fakra), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (50 Ohms), termination methods (Crimp), mounting configuration (Free Hanging/In-Line), and cable compatibility (RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, M17/119-RG174). Electrical performance is equivalent at 0.3 dB insertion loss and 4 GHz maximum frequency.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are body material composition (FA2-NASP-C01-9 uses Brass; 2FA1-NASP-C01-1 uses Zinc Die Cast), dielectric material options (2FA1-NASP-C01-1 includes Polymethylpentene as an alternative), and operating temperature range (2FA1-NASP-C01-1 extends to 115°C versus 100°C). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for production applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making them suitable for current production use. Both are REACH compliant and carry MSL 1 ratings.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors support RG-174, RG-188, RG-188A, RG-316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174 cable groups through crimp termination.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels, indicating no special moisture control or storage requirements during handling and assembly.
