FA2-NBSP-C01-9 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FA2-NBSP-C01-9 is an Amphenol RF FAKRA Connector Plug, a 50 Ohm coaxial connector designed for SMB applications in free-hanging (in-line) configurations. This connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, operates across a frequency range up to 4 GHz, and is rated for -40°C to 100°C operating temperatures. The part is currently Active in product status and maintains full ROHS3 compliance with REACH applicability. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FA2-NBSP-C01-9 with the 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• 50 Ohm impedance
• 4 GHz maximum frequency
• 0.3 dB insertion loss
• Crimp contact and shield termination

Mechanical Compatibility:

• SMB FAKRA connector style
• Male pin plug configuration
• Free-hanging (in-line) mounting
• Locking ramp fastening
• Compatible cable groups: RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, M17/119-RG174

Material and Environmental Compliance:

• Gold-plated center contact
• Nickel body finish
• ROHS3 compliance
• REACH applicability
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

Operational Differences: The substitute part 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 operates at an extended maximum temperature of 115°C compared to the main part's 100°C rating. The substitute features a zinc die-cast body material versus the main part's brass body, and includes polymethylpentene (PMP) as an additional dielectric material option. Packaging differs: the main part includes 7 pieces (2 connectors, 2 contacts, 2 ferrules, 1 housing) while the substitute provides 3 pieces (1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule) in bulk packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FA2-NBSP-C01-9 and 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 are Active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH applicability, making them suitable for regulated applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select FA2-NBSP-C01-9 when:

• Operating temperature requirements do not exceed 100°C
• Bulk packaging with multiple connector sets (7-piece kit) is required
• Brass body material is specified for the application
• Higher inventory availability is a consideration (1063 units in stock)

Select 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 when:

• Extended operating temperature capability up to 115°C is required
• Individual connector units or smaller quantities are needed (bulk 3-piece packaging)
• Zinc die-cast body material is acceptable
• Polymethylpentene (PMP) dielectric material compatibility is required

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (50 Ohm impedance, 4 GHz frequency, 0.3 dB insertion loss) and are compatible with the same cable groups. The choice between them does not affect RF performance or signal integrity within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 be used as a direct replacement for the FA2-NBSP-C01-9 in all applications?

A: The 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the FA2-NBSP-C01-9 across all critical RF parameters. However, the substitute part operates at a higher maximum temperature (115°C versus 100°C) and features different body material (zinc die-cast versus brass). Applications operating below 100°C with no specific material requirements can use the substitute without performance degradation.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The FA2-NBSP-C01-9 is supplied as a 7-piece kit containing 2 connectors, 2 contacts, 2 ferrules, and 1 housing. The 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 is supplied in bulk packaging with 3 pieces per unit (1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule). Select based on whether complete connector assemblies or individual components are required.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The FA2-NBSP-C01-9 operates from -40°C to 100°C. The 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 extends this range to -40°C to 115°C. For applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C, the substitute part is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do these connectors support the same cable types?

A: Both parts are compatible with identical cable groups: RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174. Cable compatibility is not a differentiating factor between these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the different body materials?

A: The FA2-NBSP-C01-9 features a brass body, while the 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 uses zinc die-cast material. Both materials are nickel-finished and provide equivalent shielding and mechanical performance. Material selection should be based on application-specific requirements or design specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Both the FA2-NBSP-C01-9 and 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. They are suitable for use in regulated markets and applications requiring environmental compliance documentation.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts specify 0.3 dB insertion loss at the maximum frequency of 4 GHz. This specification is identical between the main part and substitute, ensuring equivalent RF performance.

Q: Can these connectors be mated and unmated multiple times?

A: Both parts are rated for 100 mating cycles. This specification applies equally to the FA2-NBSP-C01-9 and 2FA1-NBSP-C01-1, indicating equivalent mechanical durability.
