HRM-208S(41) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HRM-208S(41) is a coaxial connector (RF) manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This component is classified as Obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for continued system support and procurement. The HRM-208S(41) serves as a connector interface in RF applications requiring 50-ohm impedance characteristics. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing direct replacements from current production inventory is not possible; however, functionally equivalent active alternatives exist within the HRM series.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HRM-208S(40) qualifies as a direct substitute for the HRM-208S(41) based on the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Base Product Number: Both share the HRM-208 base designation
• Category: Both are classified as Coaxial Connectors (RF)
• Impedance: Both operate at 50 Ohms
• Connector Style: Both are SMA connectors
• Connector Type: Both are Plug, Male Pin configurations
• Contact Termination: Both use Solder termination
• Mounting Type: Both are Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle

The HRM-208S(40) is currently in Active production status, making it the appropriate replacement for the obsolete HRM-208S(41).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HRM-208S(40) is the designated substitute for the obsolete HRM-208S(41). Selection of this part is based on:

• Product Status: The HRM-208S(40) maintains Active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Compliance: The HRM-208S(40) is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the HRM series manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring design consistency
• Functional Equivalence: Shared base product number (HRM-208) and identical connector specifications confirm functional compatibility

For applications currently using the HRM-208S(41), transition to the HRM-208S(40) is the appropriate path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the HRM-208S(41) no longer available?

A: The HRM-208S(41) has reached end-of-life status and is classified as Obsolete. Hirose Electric Co Ltd no longer manufactures this variant. The HRM-208S(40) serves as the active production equivalent.

Q: Are the HRM-208S(41) and HRM-208S(40) mechanically compatible?

A: Both parts share the HRM-208 base product number and identical connector specifications (SMA Plug, Male Pin, Right Angle, Free Hanging). Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the HRM-208S(41) and HRM-208S(40)?

A: The primary difference is product status: HRM-208S(41) is Obsolete, while HRM-208S(40) is Active. The HRM-208S(40) includes RoHS Compliance certification, meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: Can I use the HRM-208S(40) as a drop-in replacement?

A: Yes. Both parts are SMA connectors with identical mounting types (Free Hanging, Right Angle) and termination methods (Solder). The HRM-208S(40) is designed as the direct substitute for the obsolete HRM-208S(41).

Q: What packaging is available for the HRM-208S(40)?

A: The HRM-208S(40) is supplied in Bulk packaging. Each unit includes 2 pieces: 1 Connector and 1 Heat Shrink.

Q: Does the HRM-208S(40) meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The HRM-208S(40) is RoHS Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory compliance standards for current applications.
