Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of coaxial RF connectors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for substitution of the TE Connectivity 1060445-1 are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Impedance: 50 Ohms (mandatory match)
• Frequency maximum: 4 GHz or greater
• Insertion loss: 0.3 dB or lower
• Voltage rating: 335 V or greater
• Dielectric material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector style: SMB
• Connector type: Receptacle with male pin
• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Solder
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Fastening type: Snap-On
• Mating cycles: 500 or greater
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 165°C or wider

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Amphenol RF 903-402J-51R meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical substitution criteria and maintains equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1060445-1 and Amphenol RF 903-402J-51R are active production components with equivalent electrical performance and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and design requirements.

TE Connectivity 1060445-1 is the primary specification with 1173 pieces in current inventory. This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Amphenol RF 903-402J-51R is a direct substitute meeting all electrical and mechanical requirements. This part is also ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and includes REACH Affected status documentation. Current inventory is 1180 pieces. The mounting feature includes bulkhead rear-side nut specification, providing additional mechanical retention options in panel mount applications.

Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C), support 500 mating cycles, and deliver 0.3 dB insertion loss at 4 GHz maximum frequency. Selection should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and specific mounting configuration requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 903-402J-51R directly replace the TE Connectivity 1060445-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet identical electrical specifications (50-ohm impedance, 4 GHz frequency, 0.3 dB insertion loss), operate across the same temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C), and feature solder termination for both contact and shield. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The primary design consideration is the mounting feature difference: the Amphenol part includes bulkhead rear-side nut specification, which may provide enhanced mechanical retention in panel mount applications.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for SMB coaxial connector substitution?

A: Critical electrical parameters for substitution are impedance (50 Ohms), maximum frequency (4 GHz or greater), insertion loss (0.3 dB or lower), voltage rating (335 V or greater), and dielectric material (PTFE). All these parameters must be equivalent or superior in the substitute part.

Q: Are there differences in the connector type designation between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is designated as "Receptacle, Male Pin" while the Amphenol part is designated as "Jack, Male Pin." In SMB connector terminology, these designations are functionally equivalent for panel mount solder applications. Both feature male pin center contacts and are compatible with standard SMB mating interfaces.

Q: What is the significance of the bulkhead rear-side nut feature on the Amphenol part?

A: The bulkhead rear-side nut is a mechanical mounting feature that provides additional retention and stability when the connector is installed through a panel. This feature does not affect electrical performance but may be beneficial in applications requiring enhanced mechanical security or vibration resistance.

Q: Do both parts have identical moisture sensitivity and storage requirements?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 1060445-1 and Amphenol RF 903-402J-51R carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no special moisture control or baking requirements during storage, handling, or assembly. Standard manufacturing and storage conditions are acceptable for both parts.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both substitute parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol part additionally carries REACH Affected status. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010 for export and tariff purposes.

Q: Are the mating cycle ratings identical between these connectors?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector life expectancy under normal operating conditions.
