Parametric Equivalent: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413771-3 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with identical impedance, termination methods, mounting configuration, and frequency rating.

Similar Manufacturer Part: Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with identical impedance, termination methods, mounting configuration, and frequency rating. This part is from a different manufacturer and exhibits extended operating temperature range and expanded cable group compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413771-3 (Parametric Equivalent): This part is a parametric equivalent to the main part 228980-7. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5413771-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of 5413771-3 is appropriate when regulatory compliance with ROHS3 standards is required. The dielectric material differs (Polymethylpentene versus Polypropylene), and the included accessories vary slightly. Inventory availability for 5413771-3 is significantly higher at 210,300 pieces.

Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX (Similar Manufacturer Part): This part is manufactured by Amphenol RF and meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 31-318-RFX achieves ROHS3 compliance and provides an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C compared to the main part's -55°C to 85°C range. The cable group compatibility is expanded to include LMR-100 and M17/119-RG174 in addition to the standard RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 groups. The center contact material is Phosphor Bronze rather than Beryllium Copper, and the body material is Brass rather than Zinc. Both parts specify 0.2 dB insertion loss. Selection of 31-318-RFX is appropriate when extended temperature operation or broader cable compatibility is required, or when cross-manufacturer sourcing is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413771-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 228980-7?

A: Yes. The 5413771-3 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications including impedance, termination methods, mounting configuration, frequency rating, voltage rating, and mating cycles. The primary differences are regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 compliant versus non-compliant) and dielectric material composition. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: What are the key differences between the 228980-7 and the Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX?

A: Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements for BNC jack connectors with 50 ohm impedance, crimp termination, and panel mount configuration. The 31-318-RFX provides an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C versus -55°C to 85°C), expanded cable group compatibility (includes LMR-100 and M17/119-RG174), and ROHS3 compliance. The center contact material differs (Phosphor Bronze versus Beryllium Copper) and the body material differs (Brass versus Zinc). Both parts specify 0.2 dB insertion loss.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 228980-7 with either equivalent part?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for applications requiring the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both substitute parts maintain the same 50 ohm impedance, BNC connector style, female socket configuration, crimp termination, bayonet lock fastening, and panel mount bulkhead mounting. Cable group compatibility is maintained for RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 cables with both substitutes. The Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX supports additional cable types.

Q: What is included in the packaging for each part?

A: The main part 228980-7 includes 5 pieces: 1 connector, 1 bushing, 1 gasket, 1 lockwasher, and 1 nut. The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413771-3 includes 7 pieces: 1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule, 1 gasket, 1 lockwasher, 1 nut, and 1 sleeve. The Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX includes 5 pieces: 1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule, 1 lockwasher, and 1 nut. Verify that included accessories meet application requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for applications requiring regulatory compliance?

A: Both substitute parts achieve ROHS3 compliance. The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413771-3 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX is ROHS3 compliant. The main part 228980-7 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor undefined REACH status. Selection between the two compliant substitutes depends on additional application requirements such as operating temperature range or cable compatibility.

Q: Is the insertion loss specification available for all parts?

A: The main part 228980-7 specifies 0.2 dB insertion loss. The Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX specifies 0.2 dB insertion loss. The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413771-3 does not provide insertion loss specification in the available data.

Q: Can the 31-318-RFX be used in applications requiring operation below -55°C?

A: Yes. The Amphenol RF 31-318-RFX is rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 165°C, which extends below the -55°C lower limit of the main part 228980-7. This makes the 31-318-RFX suitable for applications requiring operation at temperatures as low as -65°C.
