Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 132255 are classified into three categories based on parametric equivalence and compatibility:

Parametric Equivalents (Amphenol RF Manufacturer): Parts 132255-12, 132322, 132323, and 132432 maintain identical electrical specifications including 50 ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, solder termination, and operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. These parts differ only in packaging format (Bulk versus Bag) and inventory availability. All parametric equivalents share the same connector style (SMA), connector type (Receptacle, Female Socket), mounting configuration (Board Edge, End Launch), and material composition (Beryllium Copper center contact, Brass body with Gold finish, PTFE dielectric).

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Cinch Connectivity Solutions): Parts 142-0701-801 and 142-0701-851 are functionally equivalent SMA connectors from an alternative manufacturer. These parts maintain the same electrical parameters, impedance, frequency range, and operating temperature specifications. The primary distinction is the connector type designation (Jack versus Receptacle), which represents equivalent female socket functionality across manufacturers. Part 142-0701-851 specifies Solder Tab contact termination rather than standard Solder termination.

Similar Alternatives (Cinch Connectivity Solutions): Parts 142-0701-806, 142-0701-841, 142-0701-881, and 142-0711-821 provide SMA connector solutions with matching electrical performance and mechanical mounting. These alternatives differ in housing color and body finish specifications. Part 142-0701-806 features Silver housing with Nickel body finish and RoHS Compliant status (non-ROHS3). Parts 142-0701-841, 142-0701-881, and 142-0711-821 maintain Gold housing and Gold body finish consistent with the primary part.

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters: Connector Style (SMA), Connector Type (Female Socket), Impedance (50 Ohms), Mounting Type (Board Edge, End Launch), Frequency Maximum (18 GHz), Operating Temperature Range (-65°C to 165°C), and Mating Cycles (500).
