Amphenol RF 082-6124 N Type Coaxial Connector Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 082-6124 is an N Type connector plug designed for 50 ohm coaxial cable applications. This male pin connector features solder termination for both center contact and shield, with a free hanging (in-line) mounting configuration. The connector is rated for operation up to 11 GHz and is compatible with RG-401 semi-rigid cable (.250" diameter). The product is currently active and maintains full RoHS3 and REACH compliance, making it suitable for applications requiring weatherproof RF connectivity in temperature ranges from -65°C to 165°C.

Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements for enhanced frequency performance or alternative body finish options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol RF 082-6124 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions 138-4696-001 are active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts should be based on the following documented parameters:

Amphenol RF 082-6124 is specified for applications with maximum frequency requirements up to 11 GHz and voltage ratings of 1500 V. The nickel body finish with silver housing provides the specified configuration. Insertion loss is documented at 0.15 dB.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions 138-4696-001 extends frequency capability to 18 GHz, supporting applications requiring higher frequency performance. This part offers alternative body finish options (Gold or Tri-Alloy) and housing colors (Gold or Silver). Voltage rating is 1000 V.

Both parts maintain identical electrical impedance (50 Ohms), termination methods (Solder), mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line), and temperature operating range (-65°C to 165°C). Both are rated for 500 mating cycles and use PTFE dielectric material with brass body and center contact construction.

Selection should prioritize the frequency requirement of the application. Applications operating below 11 GHz may use either part. Applications requiring operation above 11 GHz up to 18 GHz require the Cinch part. Voltage rating requirements (1500 V versus 1000 V) should be evaluated against application specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch Connectivity Solutions 138-4696-001 directly replace the Amphenol RF 082-6124 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is permissible when the application frequency requirement does not exceed 11 GHz and the voltage requirement does not exceed 1000 V. The Cinch part supports higher frequency operation (18 GHz maximum) but lower voltage rating (1000 V versus 1500 V). Verify application specifications before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two N Type connector plugs?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Maximum frequency rating (Amphenol 11 GHz, Cinch 18 GHz), (2) Voltage rating (Amphenol 1500 V, Cinch 1000 V), (3) Body finish options (Amphenol Nickel, Cinch Gold or Tri-Alloy), and (4) Housing color availability (Amphenol Silver only, Cinch Gold or Silver). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts suitable for semi-rigid cable applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are specified for RG-401 semi-rigid cable (.250" diameter) with threaded fastening and free hanging (in-line) mounting configuration.

Q: Do both parts meet environmental and regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the Amphenol RF 082-6124 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions 138-4696-001 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both connectors?

A: Both connectors operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 165°C, supporting applications in extreme thermal environments.

Q: How many mating cycles are both connectors rated for?

A: Both connectors are rated for 500 mating cycles, defining the mechanical durability specification for connector engagement and disengagement operations.

Q: What termination method is used for both connectors?

A: Both connectors use solder termination for both the center contact and shield, requiring soldering to the cable conductor and shield during assembly.
