MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR is a miniature coaxial Fakra connector plug manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for RF applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance. This component is a male pin connector with through-hole, right-angle solder termination, suitable for board-side mounting in automotive and telecommunications applications. The part maintains Active product status with 917 units in current inventory stock.

Equivalent substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit component interchangeability without compromising electrical performance or mechanical fit. Substitution becomes necessary due to supply chain constraints, lead time considerations, or inventory availability across different manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector Style: Miniature Coaxial, Fakra (identical)
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin (identical)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (identical)
• Frequency - Max: 9 GHz (identical or higher)
• Number of Ports: 1 (identical)
• Features: Code B (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle (identical)
• Contact Termination: Solder (identical)
• Shield Termination: Solder (identical)
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock (identical)

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C (identical or wider range)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) (identical)

The FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 manufactured by Amphenol RF satisfies all critical parameters and qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR and FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment for current applications.

The FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 substitute demonstrates superior voltage rating (335 V versus 60 V) and employs Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) dielectric material in place of thermoplastic, providing enhanced thermal and mechanical stability. These material differences do not compromise substitution eligibility, as all critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Both connectors are packaged in Tape & Reel format and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring consistent supply chain handling and export compliance.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and inventory positioning rather than electrical or mechanical performance differentiation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 be used as a direct replacement for MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 9 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle solder), and connector interface (Fakra Code B male plug). No design modification is required.

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

A: The MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR uses thermoplastic dielectric material, while the FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and frequency band (9 GHz). LCP provides enhanced dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption.

Q: Why does the FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 have a higher voltage rating?

A: The voltage rating difference (335 V versus 60 V) reflects material and design choices by each manufacturer. This does not affect substitution eligibility, as both parts operate within the same electrical performance envelope for RF applications at 50 Ohm impedance.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both MHSD-01B-AM-PRA-TR and FM1-NBRP-PCB-1 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, ensuring consistent handling and automated assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of Code B in the Features field?

A: Code B designates the specific Fakra connector color-coding and keying standard. Both parts implement identical Code B specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability at the mating interface.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors are ROHS3 compliant and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) codes, confirming equivalent regulatory and export compliance status.
