Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 082-332 are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Style: N Type (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin (mandatory match)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (mandatory match)
• Fastening Type: Threaded (mandatory match)
• Frequency - Max: 11 GHz or greater (minimum requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 165°C or equivalent (mandatory match)
• Contact Termination: Crimp or Solder capability (mandatory match)
• Shield Termination: Crimp (mandatory match)

Parametric Equivalent Classification: The part 082-4425 (Amphenol RF) meets all primary substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. This part shares identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and termination methods with the 082-332.

Similar Manufacturer Classification: The part 51692-2 (TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine) is classified as a similar manufacturer substitute. This part matches the core electrical and mechanical parameters but operates with a reduced voltage rating (1000 V versus 1500 V) and supports a narrower cable group (RG-213 only). The 51692-2 is suitable for applications where the reduced voltage rating and cable compatibility are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Amphenol RF 082-4425 (Parametric Equivalent): The 082-4425 is a direct parametric equivalent to the 082-332. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol RF and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and termination capabilities. The 082-4425 carries ROHS3 compliance status compared to the 082-332's RoHS compliance, indicating enhanced environmental standards. Selection of the 082-4425 is appropriate for applications requiring equivalent performance with updated compliance certifications. Current inventory of 984 pieces supports immediate availability.

For TE Connectivity 51692-2 (Similar Manufacturer Substitute): The 51692-2 is classified as a similar manufacturer substitute and is suitable for applications where the following conditions are met: (1) the application operates at or below 1000 V, (2) the cable type is RG-213 or compatible with RG-213 specifications, and (3) solder termination of the center contact is not required. The 51692-2 is manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine under the Coaxicon series and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH Affected status. Current inventory of 724 pieces supports availability. The 51692-2 is not suitable as a substitute when the application requires the full voltage rating of 1500 V or compatibility with cable types outside the RG-213 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the 082-4425 be used as a direct replacement for the 082-332?

A: Yes. The 082-4425 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, impedance, frequency rating, operating temperature range, and termination methods. Both parts support the same cable group (RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302, 393) and operate at 50 Ohms with 11 GHz maximum frequency. The primary difference is the RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 for 082-4425 versus RoHS for 082-332).

Q2: What are the limitations of using the 51692-2 as a substitute?

A: The 51692-2 has two significant limitations: (1) reduced voltage rating of 1000 V compared to the 082-332's 1500 V rating, and (2) cable group compatibility limited to RG-213 only, whereas the 082-332 supports nine cable types. The 51692-2 also does not support solder termination of the center contact. Use the 51692-2 only when the application operates at or below 1000 V and uses RG-213 cable exclusively.

Q3: Are all three connectors compatible with RG-213 cable?

A: Yes. All three connectors (082-332, 082-4425, and 51692-2) are compatible with RG-213 cable. However, the 082-332 and 082-4425 support a broader cable group including RG-8, RG-9, RG-87, RG-214, RG-225, RG-302, and RG-393. The 51692-2 is limited to RG-213 compatibility.

Q4: What is the difference in compliance certifications between the parts?

A: The 082-332 carries RoHS compliance. The 082-4425 and 51692-2 both carry ROHS3 compliance, which represents a more recent environmental standard. The 51692-2 additionally carries REACH Affected status. All three parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010.

Q5: Can the 51692-2 be used in applications requiring solder termination?

A: No. The 51692-2 supports crimp termination only for the center contact. The 082-332 and 082-4425 both support crimp or solder termination for the center contact. If solder termination is required, use the 082-332 or 082-4425.

Q6: What is the insertion loss specification for the 51692-2?

A: The insertion loss specification for the 51692-2 is not provided in the technical data. The 082-332 and 082-4425 both specify 0.15 dB insertion loss. If insertion loss is a critical parameter for the application, confirm the 51692-2 specification with the manufacturer before selection.

Q7: Are all three connectors rated for the same mating cycle count?

A: Yes. All three connectors (082-332, 082-4425, and 51692-2) are rated for 500 mating cycles.

Q8: What is the operating temperature range for all three connectors?

A: All three connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 165°C.
