Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 172190 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic requires matching specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Impedance (50 Ohms), frequency maximum rating (11 GHz), voltage rating (1500 V), and insertion loss (0.15 dB) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Connector style (N Type), connector type (Receptacle, Female Socket), mounting type (Panel Mount), mounting feature (Flange), and fastening type (Threaded) must be identical.

Termination Parameters: Both contact termination and shield termination must be Solder.

Material and Environmental Parameters: Center contact material (Phosphor Bronze), body material (Brass), body finish (White Bronze), center contact plating (Gold), and dielectric material (PTFE) must match. Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C) and mating cycles (500) must be identical.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS status (ROHS3 Compliant), REACH status (REACH Affected), and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) must be equivalent.
