Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Recommendation for Active Replacement:
The 5227169-5 is the direct successor to the 227169-5. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 5227169-5 offers the advantage of Active product status and RoHS Compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement cycles. The material composition (Zinc body with PBT dielectric) and Tin center contact plating provide equivalent performance to the original specification.
Alternative Active Options:
For applications requiring enhanced contact reliability, the 5227169-8 provides Gold center contact plating with PTFE dielectric material and Active RoHS Compliant status. The PTFE dielectric offers superior frequency response characteristics compared to PBT, maintaining the 4 GHz maximum frequency rating.
The 1-1337448-0 (Greenpar series) offers Brass body construction with Gold plating and PTFE dielectric, providing an alternative material platform while maintaining all electrical and mechanical equivalence. This part carries RoHS Compliant status and Active product status.
Cross-Manufacturer Option:
The Amphenol RF 31-221-RFX provides parametric equivalence with ROHS3 Compliant status and Active product status. This part features Zinc Die Cast body construction with Polyoxymethylene (POM) Acetal dielectric. The 31-221-RFX includes four components (Connector, Lockwasher, Nut, Solder Tag) compared to three in the original specification.
Compliance Considerations:
Parts designated as RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant are suitable for applications subject to RoHS Directive requirements. The 227755-1 and 227755-2 maintain RoHS non-compliant status, matching the original part classification, and are appropriate for legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements.
Obsolete Parts:
The 227169-7 and 5227716-3 are classified as Obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. The 5227716-3 additionally exhibits a reduced operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) compared to the original specification (-65°C ~ 165°C), limiting its applicability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 5227169-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 227169-5?
A: Yes. The 5227169-5 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 50 Ohms impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500 V voltage rating, -65°C to 165°C operating temperature range, and 500 mating cycles. The primary differences are Active product status and RoHS Compliance, which represent improvements over the obsolete original part.
Q: What is the difference between Tin and Gold center contact plating?
A: Both Tin and Gold plating on Phosphor Bronze center contacts satisfy the electrical requirements of this connector. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is typically specified for applications requiring extended shelf life or exposure to corrosive environments. Tin plating is suitable for standard applications with controlled storage conditions. Both platings maintain equivalent electrical conductivity and contact resistance within the 50 Ohm impedance specification.
Q: Are there operating temperature limitations with any substitute parts?
A: The 5227716-3 exhibits a reduced operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, compared to the original specification of -65°C to 165°C. This part is classified as Obsolete and should not be selected. All other active substitute parts maintain the full -65°C to 165°C operating temperature range, with the exception of the Amphenol RF 31-221-RFX, which does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: The 5227169-5, 1-1337448-0, 227755-1, 5227169-7, 5227169-8, 5227755-1, and 31-221-RFX are supplied in Bulk packaging. The 227169-5, 227755-2, 227169-7, and 5227716-3 do not specify packaging designation. Bulk packaging is standard for component procurement and does not affect functional compatibility.
Q: How do dielectric material differences affect performance?
A: The original 227169-5 does not specify dielectric material. Substitute parts employ three dielectric materials: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and Polyoxymethylene (POM) Acetal. All three materials are suitable for RF applications at 4 GHz. PTFE offers superior frequency response characteristics and is preferred for high-frequency applications. PBT and POM Acetal provide equivalent performance for standard RF applications within the 4 GHz specification.
Q: What is the significance of REACH and RoHS compliance designations?
A: RoHS Compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. ROHS3 Compliant represents the current iteration of this directive. REACH Affected indicates the part is subject to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals regulation. These designations are relevant for applications subject to European Union regulations or customer-specified compliance requirements. The original 227169-5 is RoHS non-compliant; active substitutes offer RoHS or ROHS3 compliance options.
Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?
A: Inventory levels vary across substitute parts. The 227755-1 maintains the highest inventory at 4,813 pieces. The 31-221-RFX (Amphenol RF) maintains 3,693 pieces. The 5227169-8 maintains 1,695 pieces. Inventory levels should be verified at the time of procurement, as they are subject to change based on demand and supply conditions.
Q: Can the Amphenol RF 31-221-RFX be used interchangeably with TE Connectivity parts?
A: Yes, the 31-221-RFX provides parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 50 Ohms impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500 V voltage rating, BNC Jack Female Socket configuration, solder cup termination, panel mount bulkhead mounting, and 500 mating cycles. The primary differences are manufacturer (Amphenol RF versus TE Connectivity), body material (Zinc Die Cast versus Zinc), dielectric material (POM Acetal versus PBT or PTFE), and inclusion of four components versus three. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability.
Q: What is the significance of the Greenpar series designation for part 1-1337448-0?
A: The Greenpar series designation indicates this part is part of TE Connectivity's environmentally compliant product line. This designation does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but indicates the part meets environmental and compliance standards. The 1-1337448-0 maintains full functional equivalence to the 227169-5 across all specified parameters.
