Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1-1478204-0 are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Mating Cycles: 500

Parametric Equivalents (1-1337535-0, 5414305-1) share all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part. Variations in secondary parameters such as body material, finish, and center contact plating do not affect functional compatibility within the specified operating envelope.

Direct Substitutes (112404, VB334N) are from alternative manufacturers (Amphenol RF, Cinch Connectivity Solutions) and maintain full parameter alignment with the main part across all critical specifications. These parts are classified as Active products, providing long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Requirements: Select either 112404 (Amphenol RF) or VB334N (Cinch Connectivity Solutions). Both parts are classified as Active products, ensuring continued availability and long-term supply chain stability. These parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 1-1478204-0 across all critical parameters.

For Compliance Continuity: All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance status. Parts 112404 and VB334N carry ROHS3 certification, representing the current regulatory standard. The 1-1478204-0 and 1-1337535-0 are RoHS Compliant. Part 5414305-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. All parts are REACH Affected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

For Extended Temperature Range Applications: Parts 1-1478204-0, 1-1337535-0, and VB334N support the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. Part 5414305-1 operates within -55°C to 85°C, which is narrower. Part 112404 does not specify an operating temperature range.

For Dielectric Material Consistency: Parts 1-1478204-0, 1-1337535-0, 112404, and VB334N utilize PTFE dielectric material. Part 5414305-1 uses Polyester dielectric, which may affect performance characteristics in specific RF applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 112404 or VB334N be used as direct replacements for the obsolete 1-1478204-0?

A: Yes. Both 112404 and VB334N meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: BNC connector style, female socket jack type, 50 Ohm impedance, through-hole solder termination, bayonet lock fastening, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500 V voltage rating, and 500 mating cycles. Both are Active products with current availability.

Q: What is the difference between parametric equivalents and direct substitutes?

A: Parametric equivalents (1-1337535-0, 5414305-1) are TE Connectivity products that share the same electrical and mechanical specifications as the main part but may differ in secondary characteristics such as body material or finish. Direct substitutes (112404, VB334N) are from alternative manufacturers and maintain full compatibility across all critical parameters while offering Active product status.

Q: Does the difference in body finish (Silver vs. Nickel) affect connector performance?

A: Body finish is a secondary parameter that does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector within the specified operating envelope. The choice between Silver and Nickel finishes is determined by application-specific corrosion resistance or environmental requirements, not functional compatibility.

Q: Is part 5414305-1 suitable for all applications requiring the 1-1478204-0?

A: Part 5414305-1 is electrically and mechanically compatible for most applications. However, it operates within a narrower temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -65°C to 165°C) and uses Polyester dielectric instead of PTFE. Applications requiring the full temperature range or PTFE dielectric properties should use 112404 or VB334N.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification for these connectors?

A: The main part 1-1478204-0 does not specify insertion loss. Parts 112404 and VB334N specify 0.2 dB insertion loss. Parts 1-1337535-0 and 5414305-1 do not specify insertion loss. For applications requiring insertion loss specifications, 112404 or VB334N are recommended.

Q: Are all substitute parts REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (1-1337535-0, 5414305-1, 112404, VB334N) are REACH Affected, consistent with the main part 1-1478204-0.

Q: What packaging options are available for these connectors?

A: The main part 1-1478204-0 packaging is not specified. Part 1-1337535-0 packaging is not specified. Part 5414305-1 is not specified. Part 112404 is supplied in Bag packaging. Part VB334N is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should be based on procurement and inventory management requirements.
