• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (mandatory match)
• Fastening Type: Threaded (mandatory match)
• Frequency - Max: 11 GHz (mandatory match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 165°C (mandatory match)
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (mandatory match)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Contact Termination: Crimp or Crimp/Solder hybrid acceptable
• Shield Termination: Crimp (mandatory match)
• Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than 1000 V
• Cable Group: Compatible with RG-142 series (primary requirement)
• Product Status: Active status preferred for obsolete parts
• RoHS Compliance: Compliance status may differ

Substitutes meeting these criteria are functionally equivalent for RF signal transmission in 50 Ohm systems operating at frequencies up to 11 GHz.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5225392-2: This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part while offering improved compliance status. The 5225392-2 is RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and systems subject to RoHS directives. Both parts share the same TE Connectivity AMP Connectors manufacturing lineage and identical core RF performance characteristics. However, the 5225392-2 retains obsolete product status, limiting long-term availability.

Amphenol RF 082-4427: This substitute provides the most robust long-term availability option, classified as Active product status. The 082-4427 delivers superior voltage rating (1500 V versus 1000 V) and includes measured insertion loss specification (0.15 dB). Contact termination flexibility (Crimp or Solder) accommodates diverse assembly methodologies. The part is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current regulatory frameworks. Extended cable group compatibility (RG-55, 142, 223, 400) provides broader application flexibility while maintaining full compatibility with RG-142 series cables specified for the original part. Amphenol RF manufacturing ensures established supply chain continuity.

For applications requiring immediate replacement of obsolete inventory, the 5225392-2 provides direct electrical equivalence. For new designs and long-term system support, the 082-4427 is the preferred selection due to active product status and enhanced specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5225392-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 225392-2?

A: Yes. The 5225392-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 225392-2. Both connectors feature identical N Type plug configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, crimp termination, 11 GHz frequency capability, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status, with the 5225392-2 meeting RoHS requirements while the original part does not.

Q: What are the differences between the 082-4427 and the original 225392-2?

A: The 082-4427 maintains all critical RF parameters (N Type, 50 Ohm, 11 GHz, crimp shield termination, free hanging mounting). Key differences include: manufacturer (Amphenol RF versus TE Connectivity), higher voltage rating (1500 V versus 1000 V), contact termination flexibility (Crimp or Solder versus Crimp only), active product status (versus obsolete), ROHS3 compliance, and measured insertion loss specification (0.15 dB). Cable group compatibility is broader (RG-55, 142, 223, 400 versus RG-142, 142A, 142B).

Q: Are the cable groups interchangeable between substitutes?

A: The 225392-2 and 5225392-2 are specified for RG-142, 142A, and 142B cables. The 082-4427 supports RG-55, 142, 223, and 400 cables. All three connectors are compatible with RG-142 series cables. The 082-4427 provides additional cable compatibility options. Cable selection must match the connector's impedance (50 Ohms) and frequency requirements.

Q: Does the contact termination difference (Crimp versus Crimp or Solder) affect compatibility?

A: The 082-4427 supports both crimp and solder termination methods, while the 225392-2 and 5225392-2 support crimp termination only. Systems designed for crimp assembly are fully compatible with all three connectors. The 082-4427 offers additional assembly flexibility for applications requiring solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The 225392-2 and 5225392-2 are rated for 1000 V, while the 082-4427 is rated for 1500 V. All three connectors exceed typical RF application voltage requirements. The higher rating of the 082-4427 provides additional safety margin in high-voltage RF systems.

Q: Why is product status important for connector selection?

A: Product status indicates manufacturer support and supply availability. The 225392-2 and 5225392-2 are classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. The 082-4427 is active, ensuring ongoing manufacturing, supply chain support, and technical documentation availability for system lifecycle requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: The 225392-2 and 5225392-2 packaging specifications are not provided in available documentation. The 082-4427 is supplied in bulk packaging. All three connectors include identical component sets (1 Connector, 1 Contact, 1 Ferrule).
