Amphenol RF 172209 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 172209 is an N Type Connector Jack with female socket configuration, designed for 50 Ohm coaxial cable termination. This connector features crimp termination for both contact and shield, supporting free hanging (in-line) mounting applications. The part is Active in product status and maintains full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, enabling direct functional replacement in RF coaxial applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 172209 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

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

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Cable Group Compatibility: RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302, 393
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 165°C
• Mating Cycles: 500

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Affected
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part Amphenol RF 172105 maintains all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters identical to the main part. The only variation is in body finish material (Nickel versus White Bronze), which does not affect functional performance or interface compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol RF 172209 and Amphenol RF 172105 are Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts is based on availability and body finish specification requirements.

172209 Selection Criteria:

• White Bronze body finish is specified
• Current inventory: 1080 Pcs New Original In Stock

172105 Selection Criteria:

• Nickel body finish is specified
• Current inventory: 902 Pcs New Original In Stock

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical interface compatibility, and environmental operating specifications. The body finish difference (White Bronze versus Nickel) does not affect RF performance, impedance matching, or connector interface functionality. Selection should be based on finish specification requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Amphenol RF 172105 directly replace Amphenol RF 172209 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 172105 maintains identical electrical parameters (50 Ohm impedance, 11 GHz frequency rating, 0.15 dB insertion loss), mechanical interface (N Type Jack, crimp termination, threaded fastening), and environmental specifications (-65°C ~ 165°C operating range, 1500 V voltage rating). The only difference is body finish material (Nickel versus White Bronze), which does not affect functional performance or mating compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same cable types?

A: Yes. Both 172209 and 172105 support identical cable group compatibility: RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302, and 393. Crimp termination specifications are identical for both contact and shield.

Q: What is the significance of the body finish difference?

A: The body finish (White Bronze on 172209 versus Nickel on 172105) is a cosmetic and corrosion-resistance specification. It does not affect RF performance, impedance, insertion loss, or connector interface compatibility. Selection is based on environmental exposure requirements and design specifications.

Q: Do both parts have the same mating cycle rating?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector longevity.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both Amphenol RF 172209 and 172105 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

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

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or reflow processes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in RF applications up to 11 GHz?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain 11 GHz maximum frequency rating and 0.15 dB insertion loss specification, enabling direct substitution in RF coaxial applications within this frequency range.
