Using a recoupling technique with close-coupling spin-free calculations de-excitation rate coefficients are obtained among hyperfine transitions for He colliding with N2H+. A recently determined potential energy surface suitable for scattering calculations is used to investigate rate coefficients for temperatures between 5 and 50 K, and for the seven lowest rotational levels of N2H+. Fitting functions are provided for the Maxwellian averaged opacity tensors and for the rotational de-excitation collisional rate coefficients. The fitting functions for the opacity tensors can be used to calculate hyperfine (de)-excitation rate coefficients among elastic and inelastic rotational levels, and among the corresponding magnetic sublevels of the hyperfine structure. Certain dynamical approximations are investigated and found to be invalid.
