Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All identified substitutes maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters: SMA connector style, receptacle female socket configuration, 50 ohms impedance, board edge end launch mounting, solder contact and shield termination, 18 GHz maximum frequency, threaded fastening, single port configuration, beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, PTFE dielectric material, and 500 mating cycles. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory alignment with the primary part.

Substitutes are grouped as parametric equivalents, indicating full electrical and mechanical interchangeability within the specified parameter set. Differences in body material composition (stainless steel versus brass) and operating temperature ranges do not affect functional compatibility in standard RF applications. Variations in voltage rating and moisture sensitivity level represent enhanced or alternative specifications that do not preclude substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain full parametric equivalence to the Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036 across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and compliance requirements.

The Molex 0732511150 provides equivalent functionality with 4359 units in current inventory, exceeding the primary part availability. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching regulatory requirements of the primary component.

The TE Connectivity Linx CONSMA020.031-G and CONSMA020.062-G both provide equivalent functionality with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The CONSMA020.062-G variant offers the highest inventory level at 35597 units. These parts are differentiated by PCB thickness accommodation (0.031 inches and 0.062 inches respectively), allowing selection based on specific board thickness requirements. Both variants maintain identical electrical performance and regulatory compliance.

All substitute parts are active products with established supply chains and manufacturing continuity. Component selection should be based on board design requirements, inventory availability, and established supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all listed substitute parts electrically interchangeable with the Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical impedance (50 ohms), frequency rating (18 GHz maximum), connector configuration (SMA receptacle female socket), and termination specifications (solder contact and shield). Electrical performance is equivalent across all identified substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity Linx CONSMA020.031-G and CONSMA020.062-G variants?

A: Both parts are electrically identical. The primary difference is PCB thickness accommodation. The CONSMA020.031-G is designed for 0.031-inch PCB thickness, while the CONSMA020.062-G accommodates 0.062-inch PCB thickness. Selection depends on the specific board thickness of the application.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different body materials compared to the primary part?

A: The Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036 features a stainless steel body, while the Molex 0732511150 and TE Connectivity Linx substitutes feature brass bodies. Both materials are suitable for RF connector applications and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the primary part.

Q: What are the mating cycle ratings for the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts, including the primary Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036, are rated for 500 mating cycles, ensuring equivalent mechanical durability.

Q: Can I use these substitute parts in high-frequency RF applications?

A: Yes. All parts are rated for frequencies up to 18 GHz and are suitable for RF applications within this frequency range.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature ranges between the primary part and substitutes?

A: The Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The Molex 0732511150 and TE Connectivity Linx substitutes are rated for -65°C to 165°C operation. This extended specification does not preclude substitution and provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences among the parts?

A: The Amphenol SV Microwave 2985-6036 does not specify a voltage rating. The Molex 0732511150 is rated for 500 V, while the TE Connectivity Linx CONSMA020.031-G is rated for 1000 V and the CONSMA020.062-G is rated for 500 V. These ratings do not affect RF performance and represent additional electrical specifications for the substitute parts.
