Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 132197 are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector style (SMA)
• Connector type (Jack, Female Socket)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Frequency capability (12.4 GHz maximum)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C)
• Contact termination method (Solder)
• Dielectric material (PTFE)

Parametric Equivalent Classification: Part 132116 (Amphenol RF) is a parametric equivalent, sharing identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, contact termination, and all critical performance parameters with the main part.

Similar Part Classification: Parts 142-0303-011 (Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson) and CONSMA011-R58 (TE Connectivity Linx) are classified as similar parts. These parts maintain core SMA jack configuration, 50-ohm impedance, free-hanging mounting, and threaded fastening. However, they contain specific parameter variations that require engineering evaluation for application compatibility:

• 142-0303-011 supports both crimp and solder termination (versus solder-only for the main part) and is compatible with different cable groups (RG-161, 174, 188, 316 versus RG-58 series)
• CONSMA011-R58 uses nickel body finish and includes heat shrink in the package, with cable group limited to RG-58

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol RF 132116 (Parametric Equivalent): The 132116 is a direct parametric equivalent to the main part 132197. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol RF, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and are ROHS3 compliant. The 132116 is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring SMA jack connectors with solder termination, 50-ohm impedance, and RG-58 series cable compatibility. Higher inventory availability (1497 units) supports supply chain flexibility.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 142-0303-011 (Similar Part): The 142-0303-011 maintains core SMA jack configuration and 50-ohm impedance but differs in voltage rating (250 V versus 500 V) and cable group compatibility (RG-161, 174, 188, 316 versus RG-58 series). This part supports both crimp and solder termination. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the application voltage requirement does not exceed 250 V and that cable compatibility aligns with the specified cable groups. ROHS3 compliance is maintained.

TE Connectivity Linx CONSMA011-R58 (Similar Part): The CONSMA011-R58 is designated as a receptacle-type connector (terminology variation from jack designation) with nickel body finish and gold-plated center contact. Cable compatibility is limited to RG-58. This part includes heat shrink in the package (4-piece kit versus 3-piece kit for the main part). Voltage rating and mating cycles match the main part specifications. RoHS compliance is confirmed, though REACH status differs (REACH Unaffected versus REACH Affected for the main part).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 132116 be used as a direct replacement for the 132197?

A: Yes. The 132116 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, contact termination method, impedance rating, frequency capability, operating temperature range, voltage rating, and mating cycle rating. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by Amphenol RF.

Q: What is the primary difference between the main part and the Cinch 142-0303-011?

A: The 142-0303-011 has a lower voltage rating (250 V versus 500 V) and supports different cable groups (RG-161, 174, 188, 316 versus RG-58 series). The 142-0303-011 also supports both crimp and solder termination, whereas the main part supports solder termination only. Applications requiring 500 V operation or RG-58 series cable compatibility should not use the 142-0303-011.

Q: What does "receptacle" mean in the context of the TE Connectivity CONSMA011-R58?

A: In RF connector terminology, "receptacle" and "jack" both refer to female socket connectors. The CONSMA011-R58 is functionally equivalent to a jack-type female socket connector. The terminology difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for applications requiring female socket SMA connectors.

Q: Are there cable compatibility restrictions when selecting a substitute part?

A: Yes. The main part 132197 and equivalent 132116 are compatible with RG-58, 58A, 58B, 58C, 141, 303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907 cable types. The 142-0303-011 is compatible with RG-161, 174, 188, and 316 cables. The CONSMA011-R58 is compatible with RG-58 only. Cable group compatibility must be verified for the specific application before part selection.

Q: Does the packaging type affect connector performance?

A: Packaging type (bag versus bulk) does not affect connector electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging differences relate to quantity per unit and handling considerations. The main part is supplied in bag packaging, while the 142-0303-011 and CONSMA011-R58 are supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the included components (connector, contact, ferrule, heat shrink)?

A: The included components support connector assembly and termination. The main part and 132116 include 3 pieces (connector, contact, ferrule). The CONSMA011-R58 includes 4 pieces (connector, contact, ferrule, heat shrink). The heat shrink in the CONSMA011-R58 provides additional strain relief and environmental protection. Component inclusion does not affect core connector specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The main part 132197, equivalent 132116, and similar part 142-0303-011 are ROHS3 compliant. The CONSMA011-R58 is RoHS compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Affected and REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the part is subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulatory requirements. REACH Unaffected status indicates the part is not subject to REACH requirements. The main part 132197 and equivalent 132116 are REACH Affected. The CONSMA011-R58 is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH compliance requirements should confirm the regulatory status of selected parts.
