Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1658260-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: Coaxial Compression
• Connector Type: Non-Gendered Stacker
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Termination: Compression
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Voltage Rating: 125 V
• Insertion Loss: 0.2 dB
• Mating Cycles: 25

The substitute part 1658260-1 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (1658260) and differ only in packaging configuration and certain compliance documentation status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1658260-2 and 1658260-1 are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: The 1658260-2 carries explicit REACH Affected designation, while the 1658260-1 lists REACH Status as Vendor Undefined. Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant status and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Packaging Considerations: The 1658260-1 is specified with Bulk packaging, whereas the 1658260-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume requirements and assembly process specifications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, material specifications, and performance characteristics are identical between the two parts. Both connectors deliver 0.2 dB insertion loss, support 25 mating cycles, and operate across the full -40°C to 125°C temperature range with 125 V voltage rating.

Inventory Availability: Current inventory shows 1032 pieces of 1658260-2 and 1035 pieces of 1658260-1 in stock as new original components.
