Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1059402-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Impedance: 50 Ohms (mandatory match)
• Frequency maximum: 22 GHz or greater
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pin (mandatory match)
• Shield termination: Solder (mandatory match)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount (mandatory match)
• Mounting feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut (mandatory match)
• Fastening type: Snap-On (mandatory match)
• Cable group: RG-402 (.141" diameter) compatibility

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range must encompass -65°C to 125°C or be unspecified
• RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant acceptable)
• ECCN classification: EAR99 (consistent across all parts)

Substitute parts are classified as either Direct Manufacturer equivalents (functionally identical with active product status) or Similar alternatives (meeting all critical parameters with minor specification variations).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent: Amphenol SV Microwave 1709-6002

The 1709-6002 is classified as a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 1059402-1. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including 50 Ohms impedance, solder shield termination, panel mount bulkhead configuration, and snap-on fastening. The part carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The primary specification variance is maximum frequency rating of 18 GHz compared to the original 22 GHz specification. This part is suitable for applications where the 22 GHz upper frequency limit is not a design requirement.

Similar Alternative: Molex 0732980000

The 0732980000 provides an alternative substitute that preserves the full 22 GHz frequency capability of the original part. This BMA connector plug maintains 50 Ohms impedance, solder shield termination, panel mount bulkhead mounting, and snap-on fastening. The part is compatible with RG-402 semi-rigid cable and carries active product status. The voltage rating specification of 335 V is lower than the original 500 V rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring the full 22 GHz frequency range where the reduced voltage rating does not present a constraint.

Both substitute parts are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification consistent with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1709-6002 be used as a direct replacement for the 1059402-1 in all applications?

A: The 1709-6002 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 1059402-1 for applications operating at frequencies up to 18 GHz. Applications requiring operation above 18 GHz up to 22 GHz must use the 0732980000 alternative or source the original part.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The 1709-6002 (Amphenol) is rated to 18 GHz maximum frequency, while the 0732980000 (Molex) maintains the full 22 GHz maximum frequency of the original part. The 0732980000 has a lower voltage rating of 335 V compared to the original 500 V specification.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 1709-6002 carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The 0732980000 RoHS status is not specified in the available documentation. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the difference between RG-402 semi-rigid and flexible cable compatibility?

A: The 1059402-1 and 0732980000 are specified for RG-402 semi-rigid cable (.141" diameter). The 1709-6002 is specified for RG-402 flexible cable (.141" diameter). Both cable types share the same nominal diameter and impedance characteristics. Cable flexibility differences relate to mechanical handling properties rather than electrical performance.

Q: Can the 0732980000 be used in applications requiring 500 V operation?

A: The 0732980000 is rated for 335 V maximum voltage. Applications requiring 500 V operation must use the 1059402-1 original part or the 1709-6002 if voltage rating specifications are not provided for that part.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: The 1709-6002 has 968 pieces in stock. The 0732980000 has 1138 pieces in stock. Both parts are available as new original components.

Q: Are the connector styles (OSP vs. BMA) electrically equivalent?

A: The OSP and BMA connector styles are different mechanical interfaces. Both maintain 50 Ohms impedance, solder shield termination, and panel mount bulkhead configuration. Mechanical compatibility with existing mating connectors must be verified based on the specific application requirements.
