TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 225886-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 225886-5 is a BNC connector plug with male pin configuration, designed for 50 ohm coaxial applications. This connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, operates across a frequency range up to 4 GHz, and is rated for 500 volts with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible BNC plug connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 225886-5 are evaluated based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary substitution logic is based on the following parameters:

Direct Substitutes (Fully Compatible): Parts must maintain identical impedance (50 Ohms), connector style (BNC), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening type (Bayonet Lock), and contact termination method (Crimp). Frequency response, voltage rating, insertion loss, and mating cycles must meet or exceed the original specification.

Limited Substitutes (Parameter Deviations): Parts that deviate from core electrical parameters (impedance, frequency, termination type) or connector style are identified separately and are not suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the original 50 ohm specification.

The Amphenol RF 031-4411 qualifies as a direct substitute, meeting all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced operating temperature range and active product status. Parts with different impedance values (75 Ohms) or connector types (N-type) do not qualify as functional substitutes for this 50 ohm BNC application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol RF 031-4411 is the primary equivalent substitute for the TE Connectivity 225886-5. This part maintains identical electrical specifications including 50 ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500 volt rating, and 0.2 dB insertion loss. The contact termination supports both crimp and solder methods, providing flexibility in assembly processes. The Amphenol RF part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status provide regulatory advantages over the obsolete TE Connectivity original part. The extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C) exceeds the original specification, supporting broader application environments.

Winchester Interconnect SBC9011 is not suitable as a direct substitute. Although it maintains BNC connector style, bayonet lock fastening, and free hanging mounting configuration, the 75 ohm impedance specification creates incompatibility with 50 ohm system requirements. This part is appropriate only for applications specifically designed for 75 ohm coaxial systems.

Winchester Interconnect SBC9292 is not suitable as a substitute. The N-type connector configuration differs fundamentally from the BNC connector style, making it incompatible with BNC mating interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 031-4411 directly replace the TE Connectivity 225886-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Amphenol RF 031-4411 maintains identical impedance (50 Ohms), connector style (BNC), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line), and fastening method (Bayonet Lock). Electrical performance parameters including frequency response (4 GHz), voltage rating (500 V), insertion loss (0.2 dB), and mating cycles (500) are equivalent or superior.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 225886-5 and Amphenol RF 031-4411?

A: The Amphenol RF 031-4411 offers enhanced operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C versus -55°C to 85°C), active product status versus obsolete classification, and ROHS3 compliance. Contact termination flexibility (crimp or solder) provides additional assembly options compared to the crimp-only original specification.

Q: Why is the Winchester SBC9011 not a suitable substitute?

A: The Winchester SBC9011 operates at 75 ohm impedance, incompatible with the 50 ohm specification of the original part. Impedance mismatch creates signal reflection and performance degradation in 50 ohm systems. This part is designed exclusively for 75 ohm applications.

Q: What cable groups are compatible with the Amphenol RF 031-4411?

A: The Amphenol RF 031-4411 supports RG-11, 11A, 391, 392, Belden 1620, 1859, 7731, 8213, and 9292 cable groups, providing broad compatibility with standard coaxial cable specifications.

Q: Does the Amphenol RF 031-4411 include termination components?

A: Yes. The Amphenol RF 031-4411 includes three components: one connector body, one contact, and one ferrule, supporting complete assembly requirements.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance for the Amphenol RF 031-4411?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, ensuring the part meets environmental and safety standards required for modern electronic equipment manufacturing and distribution.
