Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-PBS-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type conversion: FC Receptacle to ST Receptacle
• Configuration: Simplex
• Fiber mode support: Singlemode/Multimode
• Mounting: Panel Mount
• Housing material: Copper Alloy
• Lever feature: Present
• Color: Silver
• RoHS compliance: Required
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Base product series: FO-FC-FS

The substitute part FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-R meets all critical functional and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the ferrule material composition and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-R is the active substitute for the obsolete FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-PBS-R. Both parts are manufactured by JAE Electronics and maintain identical functional specifications for FC-to-ST simplex adapter applications.

The substitute part is currently in active production status with 677 units available in inventory, compared to the obsolete main part with 742 units remaining stock. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and MSL 1 rating, meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements.

The ferrule material differs between the two parts: the main part uses phosphor bronze while the substitute uses ceramic. Both materials are standard in fiber optic connector applications and maintain compatibility with the specified connector interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-R be used as a direct replacement for FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-PBS-R?

A: Yes. Both parts perform identical FC-to-ST simplex adapter functions with matching connector types, mounting configuration, and fiber mode support. The parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for panel mount applications.

Q: What is the difference between phosphor bronze and ceramic ferrule materials?

A: Phosphor bronze and ceramic are both acceptable ferrule materials for fiber optic connectors. The choice between them depends on specific application requirements not detailed in the provided specifications. Both materials are used in standard fiber optic connector designs.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-PBS-R is no longer in active production. The substitute part FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-R remains in active production status and serves the same functional purpose.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in the provided data. The substitute part is packaged in bags. Packaging differences do not affect functional compatibility for connector adapter applications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-PBS-R and FO-FC-FS(ST)-STD-R are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.
