RP-SMA Connector Jack 132176RP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 132176RP is an RP-SMA connector jack with male pin configuration, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications. This panel mount solder termination connector operates across a frequency range up to 12.4 GHz and is rated for -65°C to 165°C operating temperatures. The part is currently active in production with 1025 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified for applications requiring alternative mounting configurations, higher frequency capability, or different connector packaging while maintaining core RF performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 132176RP is determined by the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: RP-SMA
• Connector Type: Jack, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 165°C
• Mating Cycles: 500

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount variants to Free Hanging (In-Line) configurations
• Frequency - Max: 12.4 GHz or higher
• Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than 375 V
• Housing Color and Body Finish: May differ
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if specifications align

The substitute part CONREVSMA011 from TE Connectivity Linx meets all mandatory matching parameters. The primary difference is the mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line versus Panel Mount Bulkhead), which represents a functional variation suitable for different installation requirements rather than a performance degradation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

132176RP Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring panel mount bulkhead installation with front-side nut fastening
• Systems operating at or below 12.4 GHz with voltage requirements up to 375 V
• Designs requiring weatherproof ingress protection
• Gold-plated housing and contact surfaces for enhanced corrosion resistance

CONREVSMA011 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring free hanging in-line connector configuration
• Systems operating up to 18 GHz with voltage requirements up to 335 V
• Designs where panel mount is not required
• Nickel-plated body finish acceptable for application environment

Both parts maintain ROHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical mounting requirements and system frequency/voltage specifications rather than RF performance limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CONREVSMA011 directly replace 132176RP in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is not universal. CONREVSMA011 is a free hanging in-line connector, while 132176RP is a panel mount bulkhead connector. Mechanical installation requirements must be evaluated. If your application requires panel mount configuration, 132176RP is the correct choice. If in-line solder termination is acceptable, CONREVSMA011 is compatible from an RF perspective.

Q: What is the difference between Jack and Receptacle connector types in RP-SMA?

A: In RP-SMA connectors, the Jack type (132176RP) has the male pin on the connector body, while the Receptacle type (CONREVSMA011) has the female socket. These are mating pairs. Selection depends on your cable or PCB interface design.

Q: Is the voltage rating difference between 375 V and 335 V significant?

A: The 40 V difference represents a 10.7% reduction in maximum voltage rating. For applications operating below 335 V, this difference is not limiting. For applications requiring the full 375 V rating, 132176RP must be used.

Q: Why does CONREVSMA011 support higher frequency (18 GHz vs 12.4 GHz)?

A: Frequency capability is determined by connector design and dielectric properties. Both parts use PTFE dielectric and brass contacts. The higher frequency rating of CONREVSMA011 reflects its design specifications. For applications requiring operation above 12.4 GHz, CONREVSMA011 provides additional frequency margin.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. 132176RP is ROHS3 Compliant, and CONREVSMA011 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet current environmental regulations. 132176RP carries REACH Affected status, while CONREVSMA011 is REACH Unaffected.

Q: What cable groups are compatible with each connector?

A: 132176RP is specified for RG-316 Double Braid cable. CONREVSMA011 is specified for RG-174 cable. Cable selection must match the connector's specified cable group for proper impedance matching and performance.

Q: How many mating cycles are rated for each connector?

A: Both connectors are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability for connection/disconnection operations.
