Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 228980-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector style (BNC), connector type (Jack, Female Socket), impedance (50 Ohms), contact and shield termination method (Crimp), mounting configuration (Panel Mount with Bulkhead - Front Side Nut), fastening mechanism (Bayonet Lock), maximum frequency (4 GHz), voltage rating (500 V), and mating cycle rating (500). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and product status to facilitate selection based on availability and compliance posture. Cable group compatibility varies among substitutes and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Amphenol RF 31-342-RFX

The Amphenol RF 31-342-RFX is the preferred substitute for the TE Connectivity 228980-5. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The 31-342-RFX supports an extended cable group (RG-58, 58A, 58B, 58C, 141, 303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, 9907) that encompasses the original part's cable compatibility. Operating temperature range extends to -65°C to 165°C, providing enhanced thermal performance. Insertion loss specification of 0.2 dB matches the original part. Current inventory of 1670 units ensures availability.

Secondary Substitute: Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX

The Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX serves as an alternative substitute with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is optimized for smaller diameter cable groups (RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, M17/119-RG174) and is not suitable for applications requiring RG-58 or RG-141 cable compatibility. Selection of this part requires confirmation that cable group compatibility aligns with application requirements.

Alternative Substitute: Amphenol RF 000-95700

The Amphenol RF 000-95700 maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is designated for cable groups RG-55, 142, 223, and 400, which differ from the original part's cable group specification. This part is suitable only for applications with compatible cable requirements.

Secondary TE Connectivity Option: TE Connectivity 5-1634516-1

The TE Connectivity 5-1634516-1 provides a TE Connectivity alternative with RoHS compliance and obsolete product status. Cable group compatibility includes RG-58C, 141A, and Belden 9907. This part is suitable for applications requiring TE Connectivity sourcing where RoHS compliance is required, though active product status alternatives are preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 31-342-RFX directly replace the TE Connectivity 228980-5 in existing designs?
