Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol RF 222180 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: F Type
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Socket
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 2 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Mating Cycles: 500
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 222128-10 meets all mandatory matching parameters, establishing it as a parametric equivalent. Variations in material composition (center contact material, body finish, center contact plating, and dielectric material) do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol RF 222180 and 222128-10 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, indicating full compliance with current environmental and reliability standards. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: The 222180 maintains higher stock levels (1193 units) compared to 222128-10 (1051 units), supporting priority selection for immediate procurement needs.

Packaging Requirements: The 222128-10 is specified with Bulk packaging, whereas the 222180 packaging is not specified in the provided data. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring compliance with current EU and international regulations.

Operational Equivalence: Both connectors deliver identical electrical performance within the 75 Ohm, 2 GHz frequency specification and mechanical durability at 500 mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 222128-10 be used as a direct replacement for 222180 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors are parametric equivalents meeting identical specifications for connector style, impedance, mounting configuration, termination method, frequency range, and mating cycle rating. No design modification is required.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging type (222128-10 specified as Bulk) and material composition in non-critical elements. The 222180 uses Beryllium Copper center contacts with gold plating and PTFE dielectric, while 222128-10 uses Beryllium Copper or Brass center contacts with tin plating and POM Acetal or Polypropylene dielectric. These material variations do not affect electrical or mechanical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences between these parts?

A: The 222180 operating temperature range is not specified in the provided data. The 222128-10 specifies -40°C to 60°C operating range. For applications requiring temperature specification confirmation, consult detailed datasheets.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should prioritize inventory availability (222180 has higher stock) unless specific packaging requirements (Bulk for 222128-10) or material specifications are mandated by application requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-frequency RF applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors support operation to 2 GHz maximum frequency with 75 Ohm impedance, meeting standard RF and video signal distribution requirements.
