Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 132203 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style: SMA
• Connector type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency capability: Minimum 12.4 GHz
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 165°C minimum
• Mating cycles: 500 minimum

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Mounting feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Body material: Brass with gold finish
• Dielectric material: PTFE

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Amphenol RF 132203-14 (parametric equivalent from same manufacturer) and Cinch Connectivity Solutions 142-0701-501 (direct manufacturer alternative). Both parts satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution in applications using the Amphenol RF 132203.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol RF 132203-14 is a parametric equivalent manufactured by Amphenol RF. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical configuration to the primary part number 132203. The 132203-14 is supplied in bulk packaging rather than bag packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (132203) and are actively manufactured with ROHS3 compliance. Selection of 132203-14 is appropriate when bulk packaging is acceptable and Amphenol RF sourcing is preferred.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions 142-0701-501 is a direct manufacturer alternative from a different supplier. This part meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the Amphenol RF 132203, with the exception of maximum frequency capability, which is rated at 18 GHz compared to 12.4 GHz for the primary part. The Cinch part includes voltage rating specification (335 V) not provided for the Amphenol parts. Both parts are actively manufactured with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating. Selection of 142-0701-501 is appropriate for applications requiring alternative sourcing, higher frequency margin, or when Cinch Connectivity Solutions inventory is preferred.

All three parts are actively manufactured, ROHS3 compliant, and suitable for direct substitution in 50-ohm SMA jack applications with panel mount right-angle configuration and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Amphenol RF 132203-14 be used as a direct replacement for Amphenol RF 132203?

A: Yes. The 132203-14 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: 132203 is supplied in bag packaging while 132203-14 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number and specifications.

Q: What is the key difference between the Amphenol RF 132203 and Cinch 142-0701-501?

A: The Cinch 142-0701-501 has a maximum frequency rating of 18 GHz compared to 12.4 GHz for the Amphenol RF 132203. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The Cinch part also includes a voltage rating specification of 335 V. Both parts are suitable for 50-ohm SMA jack applications with panel mount right-angle solder termination.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Amphenol RF 132203, Amphenol RF 132203-14, and Cinch 142-0701-501 are all ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: All three parts operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 165°C, suitable for industrial and military RF applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical mounting type (panel mount, through hole, right angle), contact termination (solder), shield termination (solder), and mechanical dimensions. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for PCB integration.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for these connectors?

A: All three parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating the number of times the connector can be mated and unmated before performance degradation.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bag versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The choice between Amphenol RF 132203 (bag) and 132203-14 (bulk) is based on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: What materials are used in the connector construction?

A: All three parts use brass body with gold finish, beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, and PTFE dielectric material. These materials provide consistent RF performance and environmental protection across all three part numbers.
