Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Equipment Replacement: The Amphenol RF 31-318 serves as the direct substitute for the TE Connectivity 2-330060-1. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical core specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility for panel mount BNC jack applications rated at 50 Ohms.

Product Status Consideration: The 2-330060-1 carries Obsolete status, while the 31-318 maintains Active product status. Selection of the 31-318 ensures access to current manufacturing, quality assurance processes, and ongoing availability for procurement.

Compliance and Certification: The 31-318 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 2-330060-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Both connectors share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications. Organizations operating under RoHS regulatory requirements should prioritize the 31-318.

Performance Enhancement: The 31-318 provides extended frequency capability (4 GHz versus 2.5 GHz) and expanded operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C versus -55°C to 85°C). The 31-318 also supports an extended cable group compatibility list, including RG-188A, RG-316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174 in addition to the base RG-174 and RG-188 specifications.

Contact Termination Difference: The 2-330060-1 employs Push On contact termination, while the 31-318 uses Crimp termination. This represents a functional difference requiring appropriate cable preparation methodology during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 31-318 directly replace the TE Connectivity 2-330060-1 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical BNC jack configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, panel mount bulkhead design, and bayonet lock fastening. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained. The primary installation difference involves contact termination methodology: the 2-330060-1 uses push-on termination while the 31-318 requires crimp termination.

Q: What cable types are compatible with each connector?

A: The 2-330060-1 accommodates RG-174 and RG-188 cable groups. The 31-318 supports RG-174, RG-188, RG-188A, RG-316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174 cable groups. Both connectors maintain 50 Ohm impedance matching across their respective cable compatibility ranges.

Q: Are there temperature operating range differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The 2-330060-1 operates from -55°C to 85°C. The 31-318 operates from -65°C to 165°C, providing extended low-temperature and high-temperature capability. For applications within the 2-330060-1 temperature range, both connectors perform equivalently.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material difference?

A: The 2-330060-1 uses Polypropylene (PP) dielectric material, while the 31-318 uses Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Both materials maintain 50 Ohm impedance and support the specified voltage rating of 500 V. PTFE provides superior high-temperature stability and lower dielectric loss characteristics.

Q: Does the body finish difference (Silver versus Nickel) affect performance?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance for the specified operating environment. The body finish difference does not impact functional compatibility or electrical characteristics.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification for the 2-330060-1?

A: Insertion loss is not specified for the 2-330060-1. The 31-318 specifies 0.2 dB insertion loss at the maximum frequency rating of 4 GHz.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for high-frequency RF applications?

A: The 2-330060-1 is rated to 2.5 GHz maximum frequency. The 31-318 is rated to 4 GHz maximum frequency. Selection depends on the specific frequency requirements of the application. For frequencies below 2.5 GHz, both connectors perform equivalently.

Q: What compliance certifications should be considered for new installations?

A: The 31-318 achieves ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The 2-330060-1 is RoHS non-compliant. Both connectors carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Q: How many mating cycles are specified for each connector?
