Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP 1-1634000-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: MMCX
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Group: RG-174, 188A, 316
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Voltage Rating: 170 V
• Mating Cycles: 500
• Body Material: Brass
• Body Finish: Gold
• Dielectric Material: PTFE

The Würth Elektronik 66046011210320 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. The primary difference between the main part and substitute part is the contact termination method: the main part utilizes solder termination while the substitute part utilizes crimp termination. Both termination methods are acceptable for this connector category and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility with the specified cable groups.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Würth Elektronik 66046011210320 is a direct substitute for the TE Connectivity AMP 1-1634000-0 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

Product Status: The Würth Elektronik part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete status of the main part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH affected. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Termination Method Consideration: The primary design difference is contact termination. The main part uses solder termination while the substitute uses crimp termination. Both methods are standard for MMCX connectors in this impedance and frequency class. Selection between solder and crimp termination depends on assembly process requirements and cable preparation capabilities within the manufacturing environment.

Electrical Performance: Both parts deliver equivalent electrical performance across the specified frequency range (6 GHz maximum), impedance (50 ohms), and environmental operating conditions (-55°C to 155°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 66046011210320 directly replace the TE Connectivity AMP 1-1634000-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50 ohm impedance, 6 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical dimensions (MMCX plug, male pin, free hanging configuration), and cable compatibility (RG-174, 188A, 316). The primary difference is termination method: solder versus crimp. This difference does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the contact termination difference between solder and crimp?

A: Contact termination method affects cable assembly procedures. Solder termination requires soldering the center conductor to the contact pin. Crimp termination requires mechanical crimping of the contact onto the center conductor. Both methods produce equivalent electrical connections when properly executed. Selection depends on available assembly equipment and process specifications.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same cable types?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity AMP 1-1634000-0 and Würth Elektronik 66046011210320 are compatible with RG-174, 188A, and 316 cable groups. Cable compatibility is determined by the connector's mechanical design and contact sizing, which are identical between both parts.

Q: What is the difference in product status between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP part is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The Würth Elektronik part maintains active product status, ensuring current manufacturing, ongoing availability, and supply chain support.
