Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2-1393680-4 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: 1.6/5.6
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Frequency - Max: 8 GHz
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Mating Cycles: 500

The substitute part 3-1393682-3 meets all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in shield termination method (crimp versus clamp), dielectric material composition, and included component quantities do not affect functional equivalence for RF coaxial connector applications within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3-1393682-3 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 2-1393680-4. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 3-1393682-3 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The 2-1393680-4 is classified as obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications. The 3-1393682-3 carries RoHS Compliance status, while the 2-1393680-4 carries ROHS3 Compliance status. Both parts are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) is maintained across both parts.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The 3-1393682-3 maintains all critical RF performance parameters including 75 Ohms impedance, 8 GHz maximum frequency, 500 mating cycles, and gold-plated center contacts. Panel mount bulkhead configuration with snap-on fastening is preserved.

Packaging Consideration: The 3-1393682-3 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 2-1393680-4 packaging specification is not provided. The substitute includes 2 pieces per package (1 connector, 1 nut) compared to 4 pieces in the original part specification (1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule, 1 nut).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-1393682-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 2-1393680-4 in RF applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 75 Ohms impedance, 8 GHz maximum frequency, and solder contact termination. Both support panel mount bulkhead installation with snap-on fastening and identical cable group compatibility (2YCY 0.45/2.0).

Q: What is the difference between crimp and clamp shield termination?

A: The 2-1393680-4 uses crimp shield termination, while the 3-1393682-3 uses clamp shield termination. Both methods provide electromagnetic shielding for the coaxial connector. The termination method difference does not affect RF performance within the specified frequency range and impedance rating.

Q: Are there differences in dielectric material between these parts?

A: The 2-1393680-4 specifies Polycarbonate (PC) or Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) dielectric material. The 3-1393682-3 specifies Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) exclusively. PEEK is a subset of the original specification and maintains equivalent electrical performance.

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

A: The 2-1393680-4 lists Beryllium Copper and Bronze as center contact materials. The 3-1393682-3 specifies Beryllium Copper. Beryllium Copper is the primary contact material in both specifications and provides equivalent electrical conductivity and durability for the 500 mating cycle rating.

Q: How do the included components differ between these parts?

A: The 2-1393680-4 includes 4 pieces (1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule, 1 nut). The 3-1393682-3 includes 2 pieces (1 connector, 1 nut). Both packages provide the essential components for panel mount installation. Additional components in the original part may be sourced separately if required for specific assembly procedures.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The 3-1393682-3 carries RoHS Compliance certification. The 2-1393680-4 carries ROHS3 Compliance certification. Both parts are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Why is the 2-1393680-4 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The 3-1393682-3 represents the active equivalent in the product line and is recommended for new designs and ongoing procurement.
