Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol RF 262138 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: MMCX
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle
• Cable Group: 1.13mm Coaxial Cable
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 165°C
• Mating Cycles: 500
• Voltage Rating: 170 V
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part Amphenol RF 908-43001 meets all mandatory parameters and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent. Differences in packaging format and included accessories do not affect functional interchangeability in the specified application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol RF 262138 and Amphenol RF 908-43001 are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Inventory and Packaging: The 262138 is available with 1039 pieces in stock, while the 908-43001 offers higher inventory availability at 12700 pieces in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging may be advantageous for high-volume production requirements.

Included Accessories: The 262138 includes 2 ferrules per connector unit, while the 908-43001 includes 1 ferrule and 1 insulator per connector unit. Application requirements determine which accessory configuration is appropriate.

Moisture Sensitivity: The 262138 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), while the 908-43001 is rated as Not Applicable. For applications requiring extended shelf life or storage in non-controlled environments, the 262138 MSL rating provides additional assurance.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in 50 ohm MMCX right angle solder connector applications operating within the specified temperature and frequency ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
