Amphenol RF 182135 UHF Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 182135 is an active UHF connector plug designed for male pin termination in free-hanging (in-line) configurations. This coaxial RF connector supports crimp or solder contact termination with crimp shield termination, operating at frequencies up to 300 MHz with a 500 V voltage rating. The connector is compatible with RG-58 series cables and related cable types including RG-58A, RG-58B, RG-58C, RG-141, RG-303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907 cables. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across connector style, contact termination method, impedance characteristics, mounting configuration, and cable compatibility specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 182135 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector style (UHF)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Contact termination method (Crimp or Solder)
• Shield termination (Crimp)
• Impedance characteristic (Non-Constant)
• Maximum frequency rating (300 MHz)
• Voltage rating (500 V)
• Mating cycles (500)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Cable group compatibility (RG-58 series and related cables)

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• REACH affected status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 083-58SCP-RFX maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in packaging format (Bag versus Bulk), included components (3-piece versus 2-piece kit), center contact plating material (Nickel versus Silver), and base product number do not affect functional substitution capability when the connector is used in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol RF 182135 and 083-58SCP-RFX are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and supply chain considerations rather than functional capability differences.

182135 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring bag packaging format
• Assemblies requiring three-piece connector kit (connector, coupling nut, ferrule)
• Nickel-plated center contact specifications

083-58SCP-RFX Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring bulk packaging format
• Assemblies requiring two-piece connector kit (connector, ferrule)
• Silver-plated center contact specifications for enhanced conductivity

Both connectors support identical cable types (RG-58 series), operate at 300 MHz maximum frequency, maintain 500 V voltage rating, and provide 500 mating cycles. Both are suitable for crimp or solder termination in free-hanging in-line configurations with threaded fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 083-58SCP-RFX directly replace the 182135 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications including UHF connector style, male pin plug configuration, crimp or solder contact termination, crimp shield termination, non-constant impedance, 300 MHz frequency rating, 500 V voltage rating, and compatibility with RG-58 series cables. The primary differences are packaging format and included components.

Q: What is the difference between the included components in each part?

A: The 182135 includes three pieces (connector, coupling nut, ferrule), while the 083-58SCP-RFX includes two pieces (connector, ferrule). The coupling nut is a separate component in the 083-58SCP-RFX and must be sourced independently if required for assembly.

Q: Are there differences in contact plating between these parts?

A: Yes. The 182135 features nickel-plated center contacts, while the 083-58SCP-RFX features silver-plated center contacts. Both materials are compatible with the specified cable types and operating parameters. Silver plating provides enhanced electrical conductivity characteristics.

Q: Do both parts support the same cable types?

A: Yes. Both the 182135 and 083-58SCP-RFX are compatible with RG-58, RG-58A, RG-58B, RG-58C, RG-141, RG-303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907 cables.

Q: What is the difference between bag and bulk packaging?

A: The 182135 is supplied in bag packaging, while the 083-58SCP-RFX is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format affects inventory management and component handling but does not impact connector functionality or performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 182135 and 083-58SCP-RFX are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can these connectors be used with both crimp and solder termination?

A: Yes. Both parts support crimp or solder contact termination and crimp shield termination, providing flexibility in assembly methods.
