TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1337624-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-1337624-0 is a coaxial adapter connector in the N series, designed for RF applications requiring 50-ohm impedance matching. This component functions as a jack-to-jack adapter with female sockets on both ends, enabling connection between two N-type female connectors in a straight, free-hanging configuration.

The 1-1337624-0 carries an obsolete product status, which necessitates identification of active substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility. Two direct substitutes are available from alternative manufacturers: the Amphenol RF 172123 and the Cinch Connectivity Solutions VNA515, both of which are currently in active production status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-1337624-0 is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Adapter type: Jack to Jack
• Adapter series: N to N
• Center gender: Female to Female
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Style: Straight
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Threaded, Threaded
• Frequency maximum: 11 GHz
• Dielectric material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Body material: Brass
• Center contact plating: Gold
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Both substitute parts—Amphenol RF 172123 and Cinch Connectivity Solutions VNA515—satisfy all critical matching parameters. These components are functionally equivalent for applications requiring N-series female-to-female coaxial adaptation at 50-ohm impedance up to 11 GHz.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are suitable replacements for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-1337624-0 based on product status and compliance certifications.

Amphenol RF 172123 is an active-status component with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. This part features an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C, compared to the original part's -40°C to 85°C specification. The body finish differs (white bronze versus nickel), and center contact material is phosphor bronze. This component is packaged in bags and maintains full electrical equivalence across all critical parameters.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions VNA515 is an active-status component with RoHS compliance and EAR99 classification. This part also provides an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. The body finish matches the original specification (nickel), and the center contact material is brass rather than phosphor bronze. Mating cycle rating matches the original at 500 cycles. This component is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains full electrical equivalence across all critical parameters.

Both substitutes satisfy the mandatory electrical and mechanical requirements for direct replacement. Selection between them depends on specific application requirements regarding operating temperature range, packaging format, and body finish specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 172123 or Cinch Connectivity VNA515 be used as direct replacements for the TE Connectivity 1-1337624-0?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: N-series jack-to-jack adapter configuration, female-to-female center gender, 50-ohm impedance, straight style, free-hanging mounting, threaded fastening, 11 GHz maximum frequency, PTFE dielectric, brass body, and gold-plated center contacts. All three components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited) and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What are the differences between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Body finish—Amphenol RF 172123 uses white bronze while Cinch Connectivity VNA515 uses nickel, matching the original; (2) Center contact material—Amphenol RF uses phosphor bronze while Cinch Connectivity uses brass; (3) Packaging format—Amphenol RF supplies in bags while Cinch Connectivity supplies in bulk; (4) Compliance level—Amphenol RF carries ROHS3 certification while Cinch Connectivity carries RoHS certification; (5) Mating cycle specification—Cinch Connectivity specifies 500 cycles matching the original, while Amphenol RF does not specify this parameter.

Q: Are there any operating temperature limitations when substituting these parts?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1-1337624-0 operates from -40°C to 85°C. Both substitute parts extend this range to -65°C to 165°C, providing broader thermal capability. Applications operating within the original temperature range will function identically with either substitute. Applications requiring extended temperature operation benefit from the substitute parts' wider specification.

Q: How do the insertion loss specifications compare?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1-1337624-0 specifies 0.30 dB insertion loss. The Amphenol RF 172123 and Cinch Connectivity VNA515 do not provide insertion loss specifications in their technical data. For applications where insertion loss is a critical parameter, the original specification should be referenced as the baseline performance expectation.

Q: What is the significance of the different body finish materials?

A: The original part and Cinch Connectivity VNA515 both use nickel body finish. Amphenol RF 172123 uses white bronze finish. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electromagnetic shielding appropriate for RF coaxial connectors. The choice between them depends on environmental exposure requirements and aesthetic considerations specific to the application.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-frequency RF applications?

A: Yes. All three components—the original TE Connectivity 1-1337624-0 and both substitutes—are rated for operation up to 11 GHz, making them suitable for RF applications within this frequency range. The 50-ohm impedance specification ensures proper signal transmission and impedance matching in standard RF systems.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-1337624-0 packaging is not specified. Amphenol RF 172123 is supplied in bag packaging, while Cinch Connectivity VNA515 is supplied in bulk packaging. Selection between these options depends on inventory management requirements and procurement preferences.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol RF 172123 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, and the Cinch Connectivity VNA515 carries RoHS compliance certification. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination in electronic components.
