Rosenberger 08K80A-40ML5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Rosenberger 08K80A-40ML5 is a 1.85mm coaxial connector jack designed for RF applications requiring 50 ohm impedance. This surface mount, right-angle female socket connector is used in high-frequency signal transmission systems where compact form factor and reliable RF performance are essential. The part is currently in active production with 948 units available in new original stock condition.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when managing supply chain continuity, optimizing inventory levels, or addressing component availability constraints in manufacturing environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 08K80A-40ML5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: 1.85mm form factor
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket configuration
• Impedance: 50 Ohms characteristic impedance
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle orientation
• Frequency Performance: Maximum operating frequency of 70 GHz
• Electrical Ratings: 150 V voltage rating and 500 mating cycles minimum
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C range
• Series Compatibility: RPC series designation

The substitute part 08K80F-40ML5 meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 08K80A-40ML5 and 08K80F-40ML5 are active production parts manufactured by Rosenberger and meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 1.85mm RF coaxial connector applications.

The 08K80F-40ML5 substitute offers significantly higher inventory availability (35,597 units versus 948 units) and carries explicit ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH affected status documentation. The substitute part includes documented material specifications: beryllium copper center contact with gold plating and PEEK dielectric material, with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements, compliance documentation needs, and inventory availability for your specific application timeline.
