The locking ramp fastening provides positive retention under vibration — the ramp clicks into the mating receptacle and holds without threaded coupling, which is the standard Fakra latching mechanism for automotive-grade connections. The dielectric is PTFE, which maintains stable impedance across the rated frequency range. ## Code A Keying vs Code C and Code D Siblings The FA1-NARP-PCB-8 (Code A) shares the same 50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz frequency ceiling, 0.3 dB insertion loss, and 100 mating cycles with the FA1-NCRP-PCB-8 (Code C) and FA1-NDRP-PCB-8 (Code D). The only difference between these three is the keying code and the corresponding housing colour — Code A uses a black/jet housing, Code C uses blue/signal, and Code D uses violet/claret. The body finish also differs: Code A has a nickel body, while Codes C and D use a tin body finish. All three are active and mate with the same Fakra receptacle family, but the keying is non-negotiable — a Code A plug will not enter a Code C or Code D receptacle. ## Mating and Termination — What Goes Where This plug mates with any Fakra-coded jack or receptacle that carries the Code A keying profile — the colour-coded plastic housing and the keying ramp on the shell ensure only the matching code engages.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF FA1-NARP-PCB-8 Fakra Plug, Code A, 6 GHz","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF FA1-NARP-PCB-8 Fakra SMB plug, male pin, Code A keying, 50 Ohm, 6 GHz, right-angle through-hole, gold center contact.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors","RF Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol RF","Series":"-","Package":"Box","Features":"Code A","Includes":"-","Impedance":"50Ohm","Body Finish":"Nickel","Cable Group":"-","Body Material":"Zinc Die Cast","Housing Color":"Black, Jet","Mating Cycles":"100","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Plug, Male Pin","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Insertion Loss":"0.3dB","Product Status":"Active","Connector Style":"SMB, Fakra","Frequency - Max":"6 GHz","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Shield Termination":"Solder","Base Product Number":"FA1-NARP","Contact Termination":"Solder","Dielectric Material":"Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~125°C","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Brass"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.9900","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/d070412a21755d7d6c114f893e40ba1f.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/FA1-NARP-PCB-8/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy FA1-NARP-PCB-8?","answer":"Submit a request for quote to confirm current availability and pricing."},{"question":"What connectors mate with FA1-NARP-PCB-8?","answer":"FA1-NARP-PCB-8 mates with any Fakra-coded jack or receptacle that has the Code A keying profile.
