Phoenix Contact 2805041 BNC Coaxial Connector Adapter

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2805041 is a coaxial connector adapter designed for RF applications requiring 50-ohm impedance matching. This adapter provides jack-to-jack connectivity between two BNC female sockets, enabling signal transmission in RF systems up to 4 GHz. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active substitute components to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for new designs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 2805041 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Adapter Configuration: Jack-to-jack topology with female-to-female center gender
• Connector Series: BNC to BNC same-series conversion
• Electrical Impedance: 50 ohms for RF signal integrity
• Frequency Range: Maximum 4 GHz operational capability
• Mechanical Interface: Bayonet lock fastening and DIN rail mounting
• Environmental Protection: IP20 ingress protection rating
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 2805041 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional replacement. The primary distinction lies in product status transition from obsolete to active availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2805038 serves as the direct functional substitute for the obsolete 2805041. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (50-ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical interfaces (BNC jack-to-jack, bayonet fastening, DIN rail mounting). The 2805038 is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain continuity and long-term availability.

The 2805038 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an enhanced regulatory posture compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the 2805041. Both components maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Current inventory of 708 units for the 2805038 supports immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2805038 directly replace the 2805041 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical adapter configuration (jack-to-jack), connector series (BNC to BNC), impedance (50 ohms), frequency rating (4 GHz maximum), and mechanical mounting specifications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The obsolete status of the 2805041 indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 2805038 active status confirms ongoing production, ensuring reliable supply for new designs and field service applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 2805041 packaging specification is not provided. The 2805038 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications for your application.

Q: Do both components meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The 2805038 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both maintain MSL 1 rating for unlimited shelf life.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution validation?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant: adapter type (jack-to-jack), connector series (BNC to BNC), center gender (female-to-female), impedance (50 ohms), frequency range (4 GHz maximum), fastening type (bayonet lock), and mounting type (DIN rail).
