Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 000-84975 are identified based on the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector style: BNC
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency rating: 4 GHz maximum
• Number of ports: 1
• Voltage rating: 500 V
• Mating cycles: 500

Allowable Variations:

• Contact termination method (solder vs. crimp)
• Shield termination method
• Cable group compatibility
• Center contact plating material
• Dielectric material composition
• Operating temperature range
• Product status (active vs. obsolete)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 1-5227079-9 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all primary criteria. The primary difference is the termination method: this substitute uses crimp termination instead of solder termination.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: Amphenol RF 000-84975

The Amphenol RF 000-84975 is the recommended choice for new designs and applications. This part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The solder termination method provides direct integration with PCB assembly processes and cable soldering workflows.

Substitute Selection: TE Connectivity 1-5227079-9

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-5227079-9 serves as a functional substitute when the Amphenol RF 000-84975 becomes unavailable. This part matches all critical electrical parameters and mechanical form factors. However, the following considerations apply:

• Product Status: This part is obsolete, indicating limited future availability and potential supply constraints.
• Termination Method: Crimp termination requires different assembly equipment and processes compared to solder termination.
• Operating Temperature: The TE Connectivity part operates from -55°C to 85°C, compared to -65°C to 165°C for the Amphenol RF part. Applications requiring extended temperature ranges must account for this limitation.
• Compliance: RoHS compliance is confirmed; REACH status is vendor undefined.

Selection between these parts depends on termination method compatibility with existing assembly infrastructure and operating temperature requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-5227079-9 directly replace the Amphenol RF 000-84975 in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for RF performance up to 4 GHz. However, the termination method differs: the Amphenol RF part uses solder termination while the TE Connectivity part uses crimp termination. Assembly process compatibility must be evaluated based on your cable preparation and connector assembly procedures.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two BNC connectors?

A: Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500 V rating) and mechanical form factors (BNC plug, male pin, bayonet lock). The primary difference is the contact and shield termination method: solder versus crimp. The Amphenol RF part also supports a wider operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C versus -55°C to 85°C).

Q: Are there cable group compatibility differences?

A: Yes. The Amphenol RF 000-84975 supports RG-122, 180, 180A, 180B, 195, Belden 1855, and 1865A cables. The TE Connectivity 1-5227079-9 is specified for Belden 8218 cable. Cable compatibility must be verified for your specific application.

Q: What does "obsolete" status mean for the TE Connectivity part?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. While 654 units are currently in stock, future availability cannot be guaranteed. This part should be considered only when the primary Amphenol RF part is unavailable.

Q: Do both connectors meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The Amphenol RF 000-84975 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. The TE Connectivity 1-5227079-9 is RoHS compliant with vendor undefined REACH status. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Regulatory compliance verification is recommended for your specific market and application requirements.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification for these connectors?

A: Both connectors specify 0.2 dB insertion loss, indicating equivalent RF performance characteristics at the specified frequency range.
