Amphenol RF 132290 SMA Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 132290 is an SMA connector plug designed for 50-ohm coaxial applications. This male pin connector features solder termination for both center contact and shield, with free-hanging (in-line) mounting suitable for RG-402 semi-rigid cable (.141" diameter). The connector operates across a frequency range up to 18 GHz and maintains performance across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. The part is currently active in production with 762 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when specific material or performance characteristics are required for particular applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 132290 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

Core Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style (SMA)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Frequency maximum rating (18 GHz)
• Number of ports (1)

Termination & Mechanical Parameters:

• Contact termination (Solder)
• Shield termination (Solder)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Cable group compatibility (RG-402, .141" semi-rigid)
• Fastening type (Threaded)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C minimum)
• Mating cycles (500 minimum)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

All identified substitute parts meet or exceed these parameters. Variations in body material, center contact material, plating specifications, and included accessories do not affect functional equivalence for standard 50-ohm SMA solder applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts listed are active production components with full RoHS3 or RoHS compliance certification. Selection among these equivalents is determined by specific application requirements and availability constraints:

Amphenol RF 132290 remains the primary specification when the exact part number is required or when bagged packaging is preferred for individual connector distribution.

Amphenol RF 132266 provides direct manufacturer equivalence from Amphenol RF with higher inventory availability (1118 units). This part includes coupling nut and ring accessories and is suitable for applications where Amphenol RF sourcing is mandated.

Rosenberger 32S102-272L5 offers equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with beryllium copper body material and includes connector, contact, and ferrule components. This part supports applications requiring alternative manufacturer sourcing and bulk packaging. The voltage rating specification (480 V) provides additional documentation for high-voltage applications.

Hirose HRM-101(09) provides equivalent performance with stainless steel body construction and enhanced mating cycle rating (1000 cycles versus 500). This part is suitable for applications requiring extended connector life or when Hirose Electric sourcing is specified. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, which is narrower than the primary part; applications requiring the full -65°C to 165°C range should confirm compatibility.

All parts maintain 50-ohm impedance, 18 GHz frequency capability, and solder termination for both center contact and shield. Selection should account for packaging requirements, inventory availability, and any manufacturer-specific procurement specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Amphenol RF 132266 be used as a direct replacement for Amphenol RF 132290?

A: Yes. Both parts are SMA plug connectors with identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 18 GHz maximum frequency), termination methods (solder), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C). The primary difference is packaging (bagged versus bulk) and included accessories. Amphenol RF 132266 includes coupling nut and ring, while 132290 does not specify included components.

Q: What are the key differences between the Rosenberger 32S102-272L5 and the Amphenol RF 132290?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for 50-ohm SMA solder applications. The Rosenberger part features beryllium copper body material versus brass, includes connector, contact, and ferrule components, and is supplied in bulk packaging. The voltage rating specification (480 V) is documented for the Rosenberger part. All other critical parameters including impedance, frequency, termination, and operating temperature are identical.

Q: Is the Hirose HRM-101(09) suitable for applications requiring -65°C operation?

A: The Hirose HRM-101(09) has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, which does not extend to -65°C. Applications requiring operation at -65°C should use Amphenol RF 132290, Amphenol RF 132266, or Rosenberger 32S102-272L5, all of which specify -65°C to 165°C operating range.

Q: Does the Hirose HRM-101(09) offer any performance advantages over the other substitute parts?

A: The Hirose HRM-101(09) specifies 1000 mating cycles compared to 500 cycles for the other parts, indicating enhanced mechanical durability for high-cycle connection applications. The stainless steel body construction provides corrosion resistance characteristics. These features are beneficial for applications involving frequent connector mating or harsh environmental exposure.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Amphenol RF 132290, Amphenol RF 132266, and Rosenberger 32S102-272L5 are ROHS3 compliant. Hirose HRM-101(09) is RoHS compliant. All parts meet regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What packaging considerations apply when selecting among these parts?

A: Amphenol RF 132290 and 132266 are supplied in bagged packaging, suitable for individual connector distribution and inventory management. Rosenberger 32S102-272L5 and Hirose HRM-101(09) are supplied in bulk packaging, which may be more economical for high-volume applications but requires different handling and storage procedures.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where the design specifies SMA plug connectors with 50-ohm impedance, solder termination, and RG-402 cable compatibility. All four parts meet these criteria. However, designs with specific manufacturer requirements, temperature extremes below -55°C, or mating cycle specifications above 1000 should be reviewed against individual part specifications.
