Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol RF 132164 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector style must be SMA
• Impedance must be 50 ohms
• Frequency maximum must support 18 GHz operation
• Number of ports must be 1

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector type must be receptacle, female socket
• Contact termination must be solder tab
• Shield termination must be solder
• Mounting type must be panel mount with flange
• Fastening type must be threaded

Material and Environmental Requirements:

• Dielectric material must be PTFE
• Center contact material must be beryllium copper
• Center contact plating must be gold
• Body finish must be gold
• Operating temperature range must encompass the application requirements
• Mating cycles must be minimum 500

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1052897-1 meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria for direct substitution in applications where the operating temperature does not exceed 105°C.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The Amphenol RF 132164 is the recommended selection for new designs and applications. This part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries full REACH compliance documentation.

Substitute Part Consideration: The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1052897-1 is a parametric equivalent suitable for substitution in applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. This part is currently in obsolete status, which restricts its use to legacy system maintenance or applications with established supply agreements.

Critical Substitution Limitation: The operating temperature range difference between the primary part (-65°C ~ 165°C) and the substitute part (-65°C ~ 105°C) represents a material constraint. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the Amphenol RF 132164 exclusively.

Material Composition Difference: The substitute part uses stainless steel body material compared to the brass body of the primary part. Both materials are compatible with the gold finish and PTFE dielectric specifications. This material difference does not affect electrical performance within the specified frequency range of 18 GHz.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet RoHS and REACH regulatory requirements. The primary part carries ROHS3 certification, while the substitute part carries standard RoHS certification. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1052897-1 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol RF 132164 in all applications?

A: The TE Connectivity 1052897-1 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent for applications operating at temperatures not exceeding 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the Amphenol RF 132164. The substitute part is in obsolete status, which may limit availability for new procurement.

Q: What is the significance of the body material difference between brass and stainless steel?

A: Both brass and stainless steel bodies are compatible with the specified gold finish and PTFE dielectric materials. The material difference does not affect electrical performance, impedance characteristics, or frequency response within the 18 GHz maximum frequency specification. Material selection is primarily a manufacturing and cost consideration.

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

A: Both the Amphenol RF 132164 and TE Connectivity 1052897-1 support operation to 18 GHz maximum frequency with 50 ohm impedance. Both parts maintain PTFE dielectric material and gold-plated beryllium copper center contacts, which are standard for RF coaxial connector applications in this frequency range.

Q: What does the obsolete status of the TE Connectivity part mean for component selection?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the TE Connectivity 1052897-1 is no longer in active production. This part should be used only for replacement in existing systems or when established supply agreements exist. For new designs and applications, the Amphenol RF 132164 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status.

Q: Are the RoHS and REACH compliance statuses equivalent between the two parts?

A: Both parts are REACH affected and meet RoHS requirements. The Amphenol RF 132164 carries ROHS3 certification, while the TE Connectivity 1052897-1 carries standard RoHS certification. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements. Specific compliance documentation should be obtained from manufacturers for applications requiring detailed certification records.

Q: What are the mating cycle specifications for both parts?

A: Both the Amphenol RF 132164 and TE Connectivity 1052897-1 are rated for 500 mating cycles. This specification defines the mechanical durability of the connector interface and is identical between the two parts.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Both parts feature identical panel mount flange configurations with threaded fastening. The solder tab termination for both center contact and shield is identical. PCB layout and assembly procedures are compatible between the two parts, provided the application temperature requirements do not exceed 105°C for the substitute part.
