Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol RF 182110 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Style: UHF, Mini
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Number of Ports: 1
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Voltage Rating: 335 V
• Mating Cycles: 500

Application-Dependent Parameters:

• Contact Termination: Solder (primary) or Crimp (alternative)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (primary) or Non-Constant (alternative)
• Frequency - Max: 2.5 GHz (primary) or 2 GHz (alternative)
• Cable Group Compatibility: RG-58 series cables

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 226600-1 maintains compatibility across mandatory parameters but differs in contact termination method (Crimp vs. Solder), impedance specification (Non-Constant vs. 50 Ohms), and maximum frequency rating (2 GHz vs. 2.5 GHz). These differences establish the substitution relationship for applications where crimp termination is preferred or where frequency requirements do not exceed 2 GHz.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol RF 182110 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance specification
• Installations where maximum frequency operation approaches or exceeds 2 GHz
• Solder termination assembly processes
• RoHS3 compliance mandatory for end-product certification
• Bulk packaging not required; bag packaging acceptable

TE Connectivity 226600-1 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where crimp termination is the preferred assembly method
• Installations operating at or below 2 GHz maximum frequency
• Non-constant impedance specification acceptable for application requirements
• Bulk packaging preferred for high-volume production runs
• RoHS non-compliance acceptable for applications without regulatory restriction

Compliance Considerations: The Amphenol RF 182110 maintains ROHS3 compliance status, suitable for regulated markets and end-products subject to RoHS directives. The TE Connectivity 226600-1 is RoHS non-compliant and requires evaluation against specific end-product compliance requirements before selection.

Both parts maintain REACH Affected status and EAR99 export classification. Regulatory compliance verification is required based on final application and destination market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 226600-1 directly replace the Amphenol RF 182110 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is limited to applications where the following conditions are met: maximum operating frequency does not exceed 2 GHz, non-constant impedance is acceptable, crimp termination is compatible with assembly processes, and RoHS non-compliance does not violate end-product requirements. Applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance specification or RoHS3 compliance require the Amphenol RF 182110.

Q: What is the primary difference in termination method between these connectors?

A: The Amphenol RF 182110 uses solder contact termination, requiring soldering equipment and processes. The TE Connectivity 226600-1 uses crimp contact termination, requiring crimping tools and dies. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical performance within their respective frequency and impedance specifications.

Q: Are both connectors compatible with RG-58 series cables?

A: Both connectors are compatible with RG-58, 58A, 58B, and 58C cable types. The Amphenol RF 182110 additionally supports RG-141, RG-303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907 cable variants. Cable compatibility must be verified against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the impedance difference between 50 Ohms and Non-Constant?

A: The Amphenol RF 182110 maintains a constant 50 Ohm impedance throughout the connector, suitable for precision RF applications requiring impedance matching. The TE Connectivity 226600-1 specifies non-constant impedance, acceptable for general-purpose RF applications where impedance variation does not impact system performance.

Q: How do the packaging configurations differ?

A: The Amphenol RF 182110 is supplied in bag packaging, suitable for component-level procurement and lower-volume applications. The TE Connectivity 226600-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, optimized for high-volume production runs and automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the impact of the 0.5 GHz frequency difference?

A: The Amphenol RF 182110 operates to 2.5 GHz maximum frequency, supporting higher-frequency RF applications. The TE Connectivity 226600-1 operates to 2 GHz maximum frequency. Applications operating above 2 GHz require the Amphenol RF 182110.

Q: Are mating cycle ratings equivalent between both connectors?

A: Both connectors specify 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector lifespan under normal mating and unmatching operations.

Q: What compliance verification is required before substitution?

A: RoHS compliance status must be evaluated against end-product requirements. REACH Affected status applies to both parts; material composition verification may be required for specific applications. Export classification (EAR99) applies to both parts; destination market restrictions must be confirmed.
