Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount with Flange
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 11 GHz
• Cable Group: RG-402 (.141" Semi Rigid)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Number of Ports: 1
• Insertion Loss: 0.15 dB
• Mating Cycles: 500

Identified Substitutes:

082-6099-RFX (Amphenol RF): Parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differs only in body finish (Nickel versus White Bronze) and packaging format (Bulk). All critical RF performance parameters, impedance, frequency rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range are identical.

R161277300 (Radiall USA, Inc.): Parametric equivalent meeting all core connector specifications. Differs in operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -65°C ~ 165°C), voltage rating (335 V versus 1500 V), center contact material (Beryllium Copper versus Phosphor Bronze), and packaging format (Box versus Bulk). Electrical performance parameters including impedance, frequency rating, and insertion loss remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

082-6099-RFX Selection Criteria:

The Amphenol RF 082-6099-RFX is a direct parametric equivalent suitable for applications where the primary part 172170-10 is unavailable. This substitute maintains identical electrical performance across all RF parameters including 50 Ohm impedance, 11 GHz frequency rating, 0.15 dB insertion loss, and 500 mating cycles. Operating temperature range, voltage rating, and thermal specifications are identical. The only material difference is body finish (Nickel versus White Bronze), which does not affect electrical performance or connector compatibility. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Inventory availability is higher for 082-6099-RFX (960 pieces versus 874 pieces).

R161277300 Selection Criteria:

The Radiall USA, Inc. R161277300 is a parametric equivalent for applications with reduced thermal and voltage requirements. This substitute maintains identical RF electrical performance and mechanical interface compatibility. However, the operating temperature range is limited to -55°C ~ 105°C (versus -65°C ~ 165°C for the main part), and voltage rating is reduced to 335 V (versus 1500 V). The center contact material differs (Beryllium Copper versus Phosphor Bronze). Selection of R161277300 is appropriate only when application requirements fall within the reduced operating temperature and voltage specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Packaging format differs (Box versus Bulk).

Compliance and Certification:

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications subject to these requirements. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4010) are identical across all parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 082-6099-RFX be used as a direct replacement for 172170-10 in all applications?

A: Yes. The 082-6099-RFX is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, impedance, frequency rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mating cycle rating. The body finish difference (Nickel versus White Bronze) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected.

Q: What are the limitations of using R161277300 as a substitute?

A: The R161277300 has a reduced operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -65°C ~ 165°C) and lower voltage rating (335 V versus 1500 V). Selection of this part is appropriate only for applications where operating conditions remain within these reduced specifications. RF electrical performance parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in connector interface compatibility?

A: No. All three parts share identical connector style (N Type), connector type (Jack, Female Socket), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting configuration (Panel Mount with Flange), fastening type (Threaded), and cable group (RG-402 .141" Semi Rigid). Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: How do packaging differences affect part selection?

A: The main part 172170-10 and 082-6099-RFX are supplied in Bulk packaging, while R161277300 is supplied in Box packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts compliant with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. HTSUS code 8536.69.4010 applies to all parts. Regulatory equivalence is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of center contact material differences?

A: The main part 172170-10 and 082-6099-RFX use Phosphor Bronze center contacts, while R161277300 uses Beryllium Copper. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability at the specified mating cycle rating of 500 cycles. Material selection does not affect RF performance or connector compatibility.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for panel mount applications with RG-402 semi-rigid cable. Intermixing is permitted without affecting system performance, provided application operating conditions remain within the specifications of the selected part.
