Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 082-6162 are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Cable Group: RG-401 (.250" Semi Rigid)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Number of Ports: 1
• Body Material: Brass
• Dielectric Material: PTFE
• Mating Cycles: 500
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Affected

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may differ in frequency maximum rating (provided minimum 11 GHz is maintained), operating temperature range (provided the specified range is encompassed or equivalent), voltage rating (provided minimum 1000 V is maintained), center contact material composition, body finish specification, and packaging format. Insertion loss values are allowable variations when not specified in substitute documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Cinch Connectivity Solutions 138-4596-401: This substitute part maintains full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH requirements. It exceeds the frequency specification at 18 GHz maximum, providing operational margin beyond the 11 GHz requirement. Operating temperature range matches the primary part at -65°C ~ 165°C. Voltage rating of 1000 V meets minimum threshold requirements. Center contact material composition differs (Beryllium Copper versus Phosphor Bronze) and body finish is Tri-Alloy rather than Nickel. This part is suitable for applications where frequency headroom is beneficial and voltage requirements do not exceed 1000 V.

Radiall USA, Inc. R161337200: This substitute part maintains full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH requirements. Frequency specification matches at 11 GHz. Voltage rating of 1400 V exceeds minimum threshold. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 105°C, which is narrower than the primary part specification. Center contact material is Beryllium Copper and body finish is White Bronze. Insertion loss specification of 0.15 dB matches the primary part. This part is suitable for applications operating within the -55°C ~ 105°C temperature envelope where the narrower range is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Cinch 138-4596-401 be used as a direct replacement for Amphenol RF 082-6162?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style, type, impedance, termination methods, mounting configuration, cable group compatibility, and fastening specifications. The Cinch part provides higher frequency capability at 18 GHz and maintains equivalent operating temperature range and mating cycle ratings. Both are RoHS3 and REACH compliant.

Q: What is the primary limitation of Radiall R161337200 as a substitute?

A: The operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 105°C, which is narrower than the Amphenol RF 082-6162 specification of -65°C ~ 165°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 105°C are not suitable for this substitute.

Q: Are there differences in center contact material between these parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol RF 082-6162 uses Phosphor Bronze, while both Cinch 138-4596-401 and Radiall R161337200 use Beryllium Copper. All three parts specify gold plating on the center contact. These material compositions are allowable variations within the substitute qualification criteria.

Q: Do all three parts have the same voltage rating?

A: No. Amphenol RF 082-6162 is rated at 1500 V, Cinch 138-4596-401 at 1000 V, and Radiall R161337200 at 1400 V. Applications requiring voltage ratings above 1000 V should use either the primary Amphenol part or the Radiall substitute.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: Amphenol RF 082-6162 and Cinch 138-4596-401 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Radiall R161337200 is supplied in Box packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are insertion loss specifications available for all substitute parts?

A: Insertion loss of 0.15 dB is specified for both Amphenol RF 082-6162 and Radiall R161337200. Insertion loss is not specified in the documentation for Cinch 138-4596-401.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency applications above 11 GHz?

A: Cinch 138-4596-401 is rated to 18 GHz and is suitable for applications requiring frequencies above 11 GHz. Amphenol RF 082-6162 and Radiall R161337200 are both rated to 11 GHz maximum and are not suitable for applications exceeding this frequency.
