Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MHSD-04D-AM-PRA-TR are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: Miniature Coaxial, Fakra, Quadraxial
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 9 GHz
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Mating Cycles: 25
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowed Variations:

• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)
• Center Contact Plating material (Gold or Silver)
• Body Material composition (Zinc Die Cast vs. Brass/Zinc Alloy)
• Dielectric Material (Thermoplastic vs. Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Insertion Loss specification (provided or not provided)

The identified substitutes maintain functional equivalence across all critical RF and mechanical parameters while accommodating material and packaging variations that do not affect circuit performance or board-level integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, confirming suitability for current production environments. The MHSD-04D-AM-PRA-TR and MHSD-04D-BM-PRA-TR are both Adam Tech components within the MHSD series, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and center contact plating material (Gold versus Silver). The FM4-NDRP-PCB-1 from Amphenol RF represents an alternative manufacturer option with equivalent electrical performance, utilizing Liquid Crystal Polymer dielectric material and Copper Alloy center contact construction.

Selection between these substitutes depends on procurement requirements, packaging compatibility with assembly processes, and material specifications for the target application. All parts satisfy the core RF and mechanical requirements for 50 Ohm Fakra quadraxial board-side connector applications operating to 9 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MHSD-04D-BM-PRA-TR replace MHSD-04D-AM-PRA-TR in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary difference is packaging format: MHSD-04D-AM-PRA-TR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while MHSD-04D-BM-PRA-TR is supplied in Cut Tape format. Center contact plating differs (Gold versus Silver), but both materials meet the 50 Ohm impedance and 9 GHz frequency specifications. Verify assembly equipment compatibility with the Cut Tape packaging before implementation.

Q: Is FM4-NDRP-PCB-1 a direct substitute for MHSD-04D-AM-PRA-TR?

A: FM4-NDRP-PCB-1 is a parametric equivalent from Amphenol RF. All critical electrical parameters align: 50 Ohm impedance, 9 GHz maximum frequency, through-hole right-angle solder mounting, and latch lock fastening. Material differences include Liquid Crystal Polymer dielectric (versus Thermoplastic) and Copper Alloy center contact (versus Brass). These variations do not affect RF performance or board-level compatibility. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching: connector style (Miniature Coaxial Fakra Quadraxial), connector type (Plug Male Pin), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting type (Through Hole Right Angle), termination method (Solder), frequency rating (9 GHz), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), fastening type (Latch Lock), mating cycles (25), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH). Packaging format, plating materials, and dielectric composition may vary without affecting substitution validity.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging formats are supply and handling variations only. They do not alter connector electrical characteristics, impedance, frequency response, or board-level performance. Selection between packaging formats depends on assembly line automation requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. Current inventory levels are: MHSD-04D-AM-PRA-TR (1074 units), MHSD-04D-BM-PRA-TR (2433 units), and FM4-NDRP-PCB-1 (1450 units). Higher inventory availability may reduce lead times and support production continuity. Verify supplier stock status and delivery schedules for your specific procurement timeline.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, classified as EAR99 for export control, and assigned HTSUS code 8536.69.4010. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
