SMA Jack-to-Jack Coaxial Adapter 320160011

Part Overview

The Seeed Technology Co., Ltd. model 320160011 is a straight-mounted coaxial connector adapter designed for SMA jack-to-jack applications. This adapter provides female socket-to-female socket connectivity in a free-hanging, in-line configuration with threaded fastening on both ends.

The product is currently listed as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status and limited availability for future procurement cycles, identifying equivalent substitute components is necessary for design continuity and long-term supply chain planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 320160011 adapter is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Adapter Type: Jack to Jack
• Adapter Series: SMA to SMA
• Center Gender: Female to Female
• Style: Straight
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded on both ends

The substitute part Pomona Electronics 72966 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Additionally, the 72966 provides enhanced specifications including defined impedance (50 Ohms), material composition, operating temperature range, and mating cycle rating—attributes not specified in the original 320160011 documentation.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Pomona Electronics 72966 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Seeed 320160011 adapter. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications—SMA jack-to-jack, female-to-female, straight configuration with threaded fastening.

Product Status: The 320160011 is obsolete, whereas the 72966 maintains active production status, ensuring availability for current and future procurement requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications. The 72966 additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern environmental and regulatory standards.

Packaging: The 72966 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for integration into manufacturing workflows.

For applications requiring the 320160011, the 72966 provides a direct functional replacement with enhanced material specifications and documented performance parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Pomona 72966 directly replace the Seeed 320160011 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both adapters share identical connector interface specifications (SMA jack-to-jack, female-to-female, straight, threaded). The 72966 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 320160011 in all applications where the original part was specified.

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

A: The 320160011 specifications are minimally documented. The 72966 provides fully specified performance parameters including 50 Ohm impedance, gold-plated contacts, brass body with gold finish, beryllium copper center contact, PTFE dielectric, 500 mating cycles, -65°C to 165°C operating range, and 18 GHz maximum frequency. Both parts are electrically equivalent for SMA jack-to-jack applications.

Q: Why is the 320160011 listed as obsolete?

A: The 320160011 has been discontinued by Seeed Technology Co., Ltd. and is no longer in active production. The 72966 is the recommended substitute for ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The 72966 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental regulations. The 320160011 compliance status for these standards is not documented.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 320160011 packaging type is not specified. The 72966 is supplied in bulk packaging, standard for coaxial adapter components in manufacturing environments.

Q: Can I use the 72966 in high-frequency RF applications?

A: The 72966 is specified for operation up to 18 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance, suitable for RF and microwave applications within this frequency range. The 320160011 frequency specifications are not documented.
