Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 082-5993 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Group: LMR-600
• Frequency - Max: 11 GHz
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 165°C
• Voltage Rating: 1500 V
• Insertion Loss: 0.15 dB

The identified substitute parts (172206 and 172206-10) maintain all core electrical parameters and mechanical form factors. The primary difference between the main part and substitutes is the contact termination method: the 082-5993 uses crimp termination, while 172206 and 172206-10 use solder termination. Both termination methods are functionally equivalent for establishing electrical connection to LMR-600 cable. The substitute parts are currently in active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active System Support: Parts 172206 and 172206-10 are recommended as direct substitutes for the obsolete 082-5993. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications, including 50 Ohm impedance, 11 GHz maximum frequency, 1500 V voltage rating, and 0.15 dB insertion loss. The substitute parts are currently in active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Considerations: The substitute parts 172206 and 172206-10 carry ROHS3 compliance certification, representing an advancement over the RoHS Compliant status of the main part. Both substitute parts are REACH Affected, indicating compliance with European chemical regulations. All three parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Termination Method Transition: The primary technical difference between the 082-5993 and its substitutes is the contact termination method. The 082-5993 employs crimp termination, while 172206 and 172206-10 employ solder termination. Both methods establish equivalent electrical connections to LMR-600 cable and maintain the same RF performance characteristics. Selection between these substitute parts depends on assembly process requirements and cable preparation methodology.

Packaging Considerations: Part 172206 is supplied in Bag packaging and includes 4 pieces (1 Connector, 1 Contact, 1 Ferrule, 1 Heat Shrink). Part 172206-10 is supplied in Bulk packaging and includes the same 4-piece component set. The 082-5993 includes 3 pieces (1 Connector, 1 Contact, 1 Ferrule). The additional heat shrink component in the substitute parts provides enhanced cable strain relief and environmental protection.
