Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol RF 172117-30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 11 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 1500 V
• Insertion Loss: 0.15 dB

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Fastening Type: Threaded

Material & Environmental Requirements:

• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Center Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 165°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts (172117, 172224, 172254) meet these equivalence criteria. Variations in packaging type (Bulk vs. Bag) and body finish (White Bronze vs. Nickel) do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (172117, 172224, 172254) are classified as Active product status and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status consistent with the main part 172117-30. Selection among these equivalents is based on packaging requirements and body finish specifications:

172117: Identical electrical and mechanical specifications to 172117-30 with White Bronze body finish. Packaging format is Bag rather than Bulk. Higher inventory availability (2041 pcs) supports supply chain continuity.

172224: Maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Body finish is Nickel rather than White Bronze. Packaging format is Bag. Inventory level of 867 pcs is available.

172254: Matches all electrical and mechanical specifications with White Bronze body finish identical to 172117-30. Packaging format is Bag. Inventory availability of 1005 pcs supports component sourcing.

All three substitute parts are direct functional equivalents for RF circuit applications requiring N Type 50 ohm receptacle connectors with solder termination and panel mount configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 172117 be used as a direct replacement for 172117-30?
