Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Würth Elektronik 60612002111504 and 60612002111505:

Both Würth Elektronik alternatives are active products with ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete TE Connectivity part does not meet. These parts maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters. The operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C is narrower than the original part's -65°C to 165°C specification; applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 155°C require evaluation against specific system requirements. Insertion loss specification of 0.25 dB differs from the original 0.1 dB; RF signal path applications with stringent loss budgets require assessment of this parameter. Both parts are available in active inventory with tray packaging.

Samtec MCX-J-P-H-ST-TH1:

The Samtec alternative is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) matching the original part's lower temperature limit. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence. The upper temperature limit of 125°C is lower than both the original specification (165°C) and the Würth alternatives (155°C); applications requiring sustained operation above 125°C require evaluation. Mating cycles and insertion loss specifications are not provided for this part. Samtec offers the highest inventory availability at 5955 pieces.

All three substitute parts are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) codes, maintaining export and tariff classification consistency with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik and Samtec parts be used interchangeably with the TE Connectivity 1470512-1?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical MCX connector style, jack female socket configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, through-hole solder termination, snap-on fastening, and 6 GHz frequency rating. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established across all critical parameters.

Q: What are the temperature operating range differences, and when do they matter?

A: The original TE Connectivity part operates from -65°C to 165°C. Würth Elektronik alternatives operate from -55°C to 155°C, and Samtec operates from -65°C to 125°C. Applications requiring sustained operation below -55°C or above 155°C must use the original part or Samtec for the lower limit. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use the original part or Würth alternatives.

Q: What is the significance of the insertion loss difference between 0.1 dB and 0.25 dB?

A: The original TE Connectivity part specifies 0.1 dB insertion loss, while Würth Elektronik alternatives specify 0.25 dB. For RF signal paths with tight loss budgets or cascaded stages, this 0.15 dB difference accumulates. Applications with defined insertion loss requirements must evaluate whether the higher loss of Würth alternatives is acceptable within the overall system budget.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1470512-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Both Würth Elektronik parts (60612002111504 and 60612002111505) and the Samtec part (MCX-J-P-H-ST-TH1) are ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require use of one of the three substitute parts.

Q: What packaging is available for each substitute part?

A: Würth Elektronik 60612002111504 and 60612002111505 are supplied in tray packaging. Samtec MCX-J-P-H-ST-TH1 is supplied in tray packaging. The original TE Connectivity part packaging is not specified.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?

A: Current inventory levels are: TE Connectivity 1470512-1 (984 pieces), Würth Elektronik 60612002111504 (823 pieces), Würth Elektronik 60612002111505 (1187 pieces), and Samtec MCX-J-P-H-ST-TH1 (5955 pieces). Samtec offers significantly higher availability.

Q: Do all parts share the same REACH and export classification status?

A: Yes. All parts including the original are classified as REACH Affected with ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010, maintaining consistent regulatory and tariff treatment.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All parts, including the original and all substitutes, are rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
