IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 is a 6-position FPC connector manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with 0.50mm pitch. This connector features bottom-contact configuration, slide lock mechanism, and zero insertion force (ZIF) operation. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 6
• Pitch: Must be 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Connector/Contact Type: Must be Contacts, Bottom
• Termination: Must be Solder
• FFC, FCB Thickness: Must be 0.30mm
• Locking Feature: Must be Slide Lock
• Contact Finish: Must be Gold
• Features: Must include Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
• Voltage Rating: Must be minimum 50V
• Current Rating: Must be minimum 0.5A per Contact
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C to 85°C

All three substitute parts meet these core substitution criteria. Variations in housing material, actuator material, height above board, and cable end type do not preclude substitution when the critical electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 0527460671 (Molex Easy-On 52746)

The 0527460671 is the closest functional equivalent to the IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1. Both connectors feature bottom-contact configuration, identical pitch and position count, and matching FFC thickness. The Molex part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The height above board differential (0.079" versus 0.075") is within acceptable tolerance for most PCB layout applications. This part is recommended as the primary substitute for new designs and production continuity.

Secondary Substitute: 1734592-6 (TE Connectivity)

The 1734592-6 provides an alternative from TE Connectivity with identical bottom-contact configuration and tapered cable end type matching the original part. This connector offers enhanced voltage rating (250V versus 50V) and maintains the full operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The LCP housing material provides superior thermal and chemical resistance compared to PPS. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margins or enhanced material performance. ROHS3 compliance ensures regulatory compliance.

Not Recommended as Primary Substitute: 0527450697 (Molex Easy-On 52745)

The 0527450697 features top-contact configuration, which is mechanically and electrically incompatible with the bottom-contact IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1. While this connector shares identical pitch, position count, and electrical ratings, the contact orientation requires different PCB layout and cable routing. This part is suitable only for applications where top-contact configuration is acceptable or required by design revision.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0527450697 (top-contact) be used as a direct replacement for the IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 (bottom-contact)?

A: No. The contact orientation difference requires PCB redesign and cable routing modification. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is not possible without design changes.

Q: What is the significance of the height above board variation between the IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 (1.90mm) and substitute parts (2.00mm to 2.05mm)?

A: The height differential is approximately 0.10mm to 0.15mm. This variation is typically accommodated within standard PCB layout tolerances and does not preclude substitution. Verify clearance with adjacent components during layout review.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 0527460671 and 1734592-6 are ROHS3 compliant. The 0527450697 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. Verify RoHS compliance requirements with your procurement or regulatory team before selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between the IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 (-40°C to 85°C) and the Molex substitutes (-20°C to 85°C)?

A: The Molex parts (0527460671 and 0527450697) have a minimum operating temperature of -20°C, which is 20°C higher than the original part. If your application requires operation below -20°C, the TE Connectivity 1734592-6 maintains the full -40°C to 85°C range.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials used in the original and substitute parts?

A: The IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 uses Copper Alloy contacts, while all substitute parts use Phosphor Bronze. Both materials are gold-plated and suitable for 0.5A current rating. Phosphor Bronze provides enhanced spring properties and contact durability.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1 packaging is not specified. The substitute parts 0527460671 and 1734592-6 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for surface mount connectors and suitable for automated assembly.

Q: What does "Solder Retention" feature mean on the substitute parts?

A: Solder Retention is a mechanical feature that prevents the connector from shifting during solder reflow operations. This feature enhances manufacturing reliability and is present on all substitute parts but not specified for the original IL-FPR-6S-HF-N1.
