Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 227148-1 with the Amphenol RF 082-804 is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: Both are HN Type connectors
• Connector Type: Both feature Plug, Male Pin configuration
• Impedance: Both rated at 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Both are Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Both use Threaded fastening
• Number of Ports: Both have 1 port
• Ingress Protection: Both are Weatherproof
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet RoHS standards
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Functional Equivalence: The primary difference between these parts is the contact termination method: the 227148-1 uses crimp termination while the 082-804 uses solder termination. Both termination methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical connections for HN Type connectors in 50 Ohm RF applications. The 082-804 is an active product with expanded cable group compatibility (RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302, 393) compared to the 227148-1 (RG-393 only).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol RF 082-804 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 227148-1 for HN Type 50 Ohm coaxial RF connector applications. Selection of the 082-804 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 082-804 is an active product with current manufacturing and supply chain support, whereas the 227148-1 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Regulatory Compliance: Both connectors meet RoHS requirements. The 082-804 carries ROHS3 Compliant status and is REACH Affected, providing enhanced regulatory documentation for applications requiring strict compliance verification.

Electrical Equivalence: Both connectors maintain 50 Ohm impedance and threaded fastening, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing RF circuit designs.

Termination Method Consideration: The transition from crimp (227148-1) to solder (082-804) termination requires assembly process adjustment but does not affect electrical performance or connector interface compatibility. Both termination methods are standard industry practices for HN Type connectors.

Cable Compatibility: The 082-804 supports the full cable group range of the 227148-1 (RG-393) plus additional cable types (RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302), providing design flexibility for future applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 082-804 directly replace the TE Connectivity 227148-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical HN Type connector style, male pin configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, threaded fastening, and free hanging in-line mounting. The primary difference is termination method (crimp versus solder), which does not affect mating interface compatibility. Assembly procedures must be adjusted to accommodate the solder termination process of the 082-804.

Q: What is the significance of the different shield termination methods (crimp versus clamp)?

A: The 227148-1 uses crimp shield termination while the 082-804 uses clamp shield termination. Both methods provide equivalent shielding effectiveness and weatherproof protection for 50 Ohm RF applications. The clamp method in the 082-804 offers simplified assembly compared to crimp termination.

Q: Are there any frequency or performance limitations when substituting these connectors?

A: The 082-804 specifies a maximum frequency of 4 GHz. The 227148-1 does not provide frequency specifications in the available documentation. For applications operating above 4 GHz, frequency performance verification is required based on specific system requirements.

Q: Does the expanded cable group compatibility of the 082-804 affect substitution decisions?

A: No. The 082-804 supports all cable types compatible with the 227148-1 (RG-393) plus additional types. This expanded compatibility does not create substitution constraints; it provides additional design flexibility for the 082-804 in new applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these connectors?

A: The 227148-1 is supplied with 3 pieces per connector package (1 Connector, 1 Contact, 1 Ferrule). The 082-804 is supplied in bulk packaging with 6 pieces per connector package (1 Connector, 1 Braid Clamp, 1 Cable Gland, 1 Clamp, 1 Contact, 1 Gasket). The 082-804 includes additional assembly components, reducing secondary component procurement requirements.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for weatherproof outdoor applications?

A: Yes. Both the 227148-1 and 082-804 carry weatherproof ingress protection ratings, making them suitable for outdoor RF installations. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What is the operational temperature range for these connectors?

A: The 082-804 operates across -65°C to 165°C. The 227148-1 does not specify an operating temperature range in the available documentation. For applications with extreme temperature requirements, the 082-804 provides documented thermal performance specifications.
