Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-329092-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Mating Cycles: 500
• Number of Ports: 1

The Amphenol RF 031-245 meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. This part maintains identical connector geometry, electrical ratings, and mechanical interface specifications required for drop-in replacement in applications originally designed for the 2-329092-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol RF 031-245 is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-329092-1. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 2-329092-1 is classified as obsolete, making the 031-245 the necessary active alternative for new procurement and system continuity.

Compliance and Certifications: The 031-245 holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, providing superior regulatory alignment compared to the non-compliant 2-329092-1. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: The 031-245 maintains all mandatory matching parameters including 50 Ohm impedance, BNC jack female socket configuration, panel mount bulkhead mounting, crimp termination, bayonet lock fastening, 500 V voltage rating, and 500 mating cycles. The substitute provides enhanced frequency capability (4 GHz versus 2.5 GHz) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C versus -55°C to 85°C), offering performance headroom for demanding applications.

Material and Interface Compatibility: Both connectors utilize brass bodies with gold-plated center contacts and support identical cable groups including RG-179, RG-187, and equivalent specifications. The nickel body finish on the 031-245 provides alternative corrosion resistance characteristics compared to the silver finish of the 2-329092-1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 031-245 directly replace the TE Connectivity 2-329092-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 031-245 maintains identical connector geometry, electrical ratings, mechanical interface specifications, and mounting configuration. All mandatory parameters for BNC jack female socket 50 Ohm panel mount crimp connectors are equivalent, enabling drop-in replacement.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), regulatory compliance (RoHS non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), body finish (silver versus nickel), frequency capability (2.5 GHz versus 4 GHz), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -65°C to 165°C). The 031-245 provides enhanced performance specifications and current regulatory compliance.

Q: Are the cable compatibility specifications identical?

A: The 2-329092-1 supports RG-161, RG-179, and RG-187 cable groups. The 031-245 supports RG-179, RG-179A, RG-179B, RG-187, RG-187A, Belden 9221, and M17/94-RG179. The 031-245 provides broader cable compatibility within the same impedance class.

Q: What is the impact of the different body finishes (silver versus nickel)?

A: Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Silver finish offers lower contact resistance, while nickel finish provides enhanced durability in harsh environments. Selection depends on specific application environmental requirements.

Q: Are both parts MSL 1 rated?

A: Yes. Both the 2-329092-1 and 031-245 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level ratings, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range on the 031-245?

A: The 031-245 operates from -65°C to 165°C compared to the 2-329092-1 range of -55°C to 85°C. This extended range accommodates applications requiring operation in extreme thermal environments without component derating.

Q: Are the mating cycle ratings equivalent?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and expected service life under normal connection/disconnection usage patterns.
