IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1 is an 8-position FPC (Flat Flexible Connector) with vertical contacts, 0.5mm pitch, and surface mount termination manufactured by JAE Electronics. This connector is designed for applications requiring compact, flexible interconnection with zero insertion force operation. The part is currently obsolete, making substitute components necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, and design updates.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Pitch: Must be FPC or FFC with 0.5mm (0.020") pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Position Count: Must maintain 8 positions for direct pin-to-pin correspondence
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount with vertical, single-sided contact orientation
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 50V and current rating of 0.5A per contact minimum
• Termination Method: Solder termination for PCB integration
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range compatibility

The substitute part 1734742-8 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meets these core substitution criteria, with documented active product status and equivalent electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1734742-8 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50V, 0.5A per contact), mechanical configuration (8 positions, 0.5mm pitch, vertical surface mount), and safety certifications (UL94 V-0).

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status with documented availability (13,846 units in stock) and RoHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range of the TE part (-20°C ~ 85°C) is narrower at the low end compared to the JAE part (-40°C ~ 85°C); applications requiring operation below -20°C must account for this limitation. The height above board differs by 0.009" (0.25mm), which may require PCB layout verification for applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1734742-8 be used as a direct replacement for IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -20°C to 85°C temperature range. The electrical ratings, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration are identical. PCB layout should be verified for the 0.009" height difference.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution compatibility for this connector family?

A: Pitch (0.5mm), position count (8), mounting type (surface mount), contact orientation (vertical, single-sided), voltage rating (50V minimum), and current rating (0.5A per contact minimum) are the primary substitution criteria.

Q: Does the 1734742-8 support the same cable end types as the IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1?

A: The IL-FPR-8S-VF-N1 specifies tapered cable end type. The 1734742-8 supports both straight and tapered cable end types, providing design flexibility.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The 1734742-8 includes RoHS3 compliance documentation. Both are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The 1734742-8 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.
