N.FL-R-SMT-1(60) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The N.FL-R-SMT-1(60) is a U.FL (UMCC) coaxial connector receptacle with male pin configuration, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications up to 6 GHz. This surface mount solder connector is manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and is currently classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for design continuity, production planning, and component sourcing in RF circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the N.FL-R-SMT-1(60) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: U.FL (UMCC) Receptacle, Male Pin configuration
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency Rating: 6 GHz maximum
• Mounting Method: Surface Mount with solder termination
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 90°C
• Mating Cycles: 20 cycles minimum
• Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: Identical contact material (Brass), dielectric material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), and fastening type (Snap-On)

All substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in body finish (Silver vs. Gold), packaging format (bulk vs. Tape & Reel), and product status do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: X.FL-R-SMT-1(02)

The X.FL-R-SMT-1(02) is the recommended substitute for the obsolete N.FL-R-SMT-1(60). This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and the highest inventory availability (14,332 units). The X.FL designation represents the current generation of this connector family from Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Secondary Substitutes: X.FL-R-SMT-1(80) and X.FL-R-SMT-1(90)

Both X.FL-R-SMT-1(80) and X.FL-R-SMT-1(90) provide equivalent functionality with active product status. X.FL-R-SMT-1(80) offers substantial inventory (9,448 units), while X.FL-R-SMT-1(90) has limited availability (667 units). Both maintain RoHS compliance and identical electrical specifications.

Alternative: N.FL-R-SMT-1(10)

The N.FL-R-SMT-1(10) remains within the N.FL series and provides full parametric equivalence. However, this part carries Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. Selection of this part should be evaluated against long-term supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can X.FL series connectors directly replace N.FL series connectors?

A: Yes. Both N.FL and X.FL designations refer to U.FL (UMCC) connector families manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. The parts listed maintain identical electrical impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (6 GHz), connector type (Receptacle, Male Pin), and mechanical interface specifications. The series designation change reflects product line evolution, not functional incompatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the body finish variations (Silver vs. Gold)?

A: The N.FL-R-SMT-1(60) features a silver body finish, while X.FL variants feature gold body finish. This difference is cosmetic and does not affect electrical performance, impedance matching, or RF characteristics in the specified frequency range.

Q: Does packaging format (bulk vs. Tape & Reel) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the connector remain identical regardless of packaging configuration.

Q: Why is product status important for substitution?

A: Product status indicates supply chain availability and manufacturer support. The N.FL-R-SMT-1(60) is obsolete, meaning no new production is available. Active status parts (X.FL variants) ensure continued availability for current and future production runs. Last Time Buy status (N.FL-R-SMT-1(10)) indicates limited remaining inventory before discontinuation.

Q: Are all listed substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements. The N.FL-R-SMT-1(60), N.FL-R-SMT-1(10), X.FL-R-SMT-1(02), X.FL-R-SMT-1(80), and X.FL-R-SMT-1(90) are all RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain identical mechanical dimensions, solder pad layouts, and mounting specifications for surface mount assembly. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.
