Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Cinch 131-3701-406 is the direct functional equivalent to the TE Connectivity 228215-1. Both components feature front-side bulkhead mounting with nickel body finish and silver housing color. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and is classified as active, ensuring reliable procurement and supply continuity.

Cinch 131-3701-411 provides an alternative substitute with identical electrical and thermal specifications. The primary distinction is the rear-side bulkhead mounting feature and gold body finish with gold housing color. This variant is suitable for applications where rear-side panel access is required or where gold plating specifications are mandated.

Both Cinch substitutes are RoHS compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and maintain the same HTSUS commodity code as the original component. Selection between the two Cinch options depends on specific mounting orientation requirements and finish specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch 131-3701-406 directly replace the TE Connectivity 228215-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Cinch 131-3701-406 maintains identical electrical specifications, impedance, frequency rating, temperature range, voltage rating, and mounting configuration. Both components feature front-side bulkhead mounting and are suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What is the difference between the two Cinch substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are mounting orientation and finish specifications. The 131-3701-406 features front-side bulkhead mounting with nickel body finish and silver housing. The 131-3701-411 features rear-side bulkhead mounting with gold body finish and gold housing. Both maintain identical electrical performance and operating parameters.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both Cinch 131-3701-406 and 131-3701-411 are RoHS compliant and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and commodity codes (HTSUS 8536.69.4010) as the original TE Connectivity component.

Q: What is the significance of the connector type designation change from Receptacle to Jack?

A: In SMB connector terminology, both receptacle and jack configurations with male pins are functionally equivalent for mating purposes. The terminology difference reflects manufacturer nomenclature conventions and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in RF applications up to 4 GHz?

A: Yes. All three components are rated for maximum frequency of 4 GHz with 50 ohm impedance and PTFE dielectric material, ensuring consistent RF performance across the specified frequency range.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both Cinch substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The original TE Connectivity component packaging information was not specified in the available data.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three components share identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C) and voltage rating (335 V), eliminating the need for derating analysis or thermal redesign.
