• Frequency rating: 4 GHz maximum (substitute must meet or exceed)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (substitute must meet or exceed)
• Insertion loss: 0.2 dB (substitute must meet or equal)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector style: BNC (exact match required)
• Connector type: Jack, Female Socket (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount with Bulkhead - Front Side Nut (exact match required)
• Fastening type: Bayonet Lock (exact match required)
• Cable group compatibility: RG-55, 55A, 55B, 223 (exact match required)

Termination Parameters:

• Contact termination: Crimp (exact match required)
• Shield termination: Crimp (exact match required)

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 85°C (substitute must meet or exceed)
• Mating cycles: 500 (substitute must meet or exceed)

The substitute part 5225398-3 meets all electrical, mechanical, termination, and environmental requirements for direct substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5225398-3 is a direct functional equivalent to the 225398-3 across all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Both components are classified as obsolete; however, the 5225398-3 offers improved regulatory compliance status:

Compliance Advantages of 5225398-3:

• RoHS Compliant (versus RoHS non-compliant for 225398-3)
• REACH Affected status defined (versus Vendor Undefined for 225398-3)

Inventory Availability:

• 225398-3: 723 pieces in stock
• 5225398-3: 822 pieces in stock

Package Composition: The 5225398-3 includes an additional contact component (6 pieces total versus 5 pieces for 225398-3), which may provide additional value for assembly or replacement scenarios.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or defined REACH status, the 5225398-3 is the appropriate selection. For applications with no regulatory compliance requirements, either part satisfies the functional and electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5225398-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 225398-3?

A: Yes. The 5225398-3 meets all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications of the 225398-3. Both components are BNC jack connectors with 50-ohm impedance, crimp termination, panel mount configuration, and identical frequency, voltage, and temperature ratings.
