Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Winchester Interconnect 3327505 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Adapter Type: Jack to Jack
• Adapter Series: BNC to UHF
• Center Gender: Female to Female
• Convert From: BNC Jack, Female Socket
• Convert To: UHF Jack, Female Socket
• Style: Straight
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock, Threaded

Compliance Requirements:

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The Amphenol RF part number 242165 meets all mandatory matching parameters and compliance requirements, establishing it as a valid substitute. Additional technical specifications provided for the Amphenol part (50 Ohms impedance, Gold plating, PTFE dielectric, operating temperature range, and ROHS3 Compliant status) represent enhanced or specified characteristics not declared in the Winchester part specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Winchester Interconnect 3327505 and Amphenol RF 242165 are active products with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Winchester Interconnect 3327505:

• RoHS Compliant status
• Nickel body finish
• Current inventory: 844 pieces

Amphenol RF 242165:

• ROHS3 Compliant status (enhanced compliance standard)
• Gold body finish (improved corrosion resistance and contact reliability)
• Current inventory: 1022 pieces
• Specified impedance: 50 Ohms
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 165°C
• REACH Affected designation

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring BNC Jack female to UHF Jack female adapter functionality with straight-line, free-hanging mounting. The Amphenol part provides additional technical specifications and enhanced compliance certification. Selection should align with application requirements, environmental conditions, and procurement preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 242165 directly replace the Winchester Interconnect 3327505?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical adapter type, series conversion, center gender configuration, mounting style, and fastening mechanism. Both are active products with RoHS compliance and unlimited MSL ratings.

Q: What is the difference between the body finishes?

A: The Winchester part features a Nickel finish, while the Amphenol part features a Gold finish. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved electrical contact characteristics in high-reliability applications.

Q: Does the Amphenol part specify impedance while the Winchester part does not?

A: The Amphenol RF 242165 is specified at 50 Ohms impedance. The Winchester part does not declare an impedance specification in the provided data. Both parts function as BNC to UHF adapters in the same mechanical and electrical configuration.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance levels?

A: The Winchester part is RoHS Compliant (standard RoHS directive compliance). The Amphenol part is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents the current and more stringent RoHS 3 standard. Both meet regulatory requirements; ROHS3 represents enhanced compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Winchester part packaging is not specified in the provided data. The Amphenol part is supplied in Bag packaging.

Q: What operating temperature range applies to the Winchester part?

A: The operating temperature range is not specified for the Winchester part. The Amphenol part operates from -65°C to 165°C.

Q: Can these adapters be used in applications requiring specific impedance matching?

A: The Amphenol RF 242165 is specified at 50 Ohms. Applications requiring impedance-matched components should verify compatibility with system requirements. The Winchester part does not declare impedance specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for RF/microwave applications?

A: Both parts are classified as Coaxial Connectors (RF) and are designed for radio frequency interconnection. The Amphenol part specifies a maximum frequency of 2.5 GHz.
