Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3811-60052 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMPS
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Board Edge, Cutout with Surface Mount capability
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 65 GHz
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Mating Cycles: 500
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

The substitute parts 3811-60050 and 3811-40004 meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications utilizing the 3811-60052. Variations in body material composition and number of ports do not affect functional equivalence within the SMPS connector category, as these parameters remain within the allowed specification range for this product class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—3811-60052, 3811-60050, and 3811-40004—are active production components manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these equivalents should be based on the following engineering criteria:

3811-60052 (Primary Reference): Specified for applications requiring 4-port SMPS connector configuration with stainless steel body construction and confirmed operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. Current inventory of 1182 pieces supports immediate procurement.

3811-60050 (Equivalent Substitute): Provides 2-port SMPS connector configuration with identical electrical specifications and stainless steel body material. Operating temperature range matches the primary part (-65°C to 165°C). Inventory of 1006 pieces available. Suitable for applications where 2-port configuration meets functional requirements.

3811-40004 (Equivalent Substitute): Provides 1-port SMPS connector configuration with beryllium copper body material. Electrical specifications remain equivalent across all critical parameters. Operating temperature range not specified in available data. Inventory of 2072 pieces provides highest availability. Suitable for single-port applications where beryllium copper body material is acceptable.

All three parts maintain 50 ohm impedance, 65 GHz maximum frequency, solder termination, and 500 mating cycle rating. Selection should account for port count requirements and body material compatibility with the target application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3811-40004 replace 3811-60052 in a design currently using the 4-port configuration?

A: No. The 3811-40004 provides a 1-port connector configuration, while the 3811-60052 is a 4-port connector. Port count is a functional design parameter that determines the number of RF signal paths supported. Substitution is only valid when the application circuit design accommodates the reduced port count.

Q: What is the difference between the body materials used in these connectors?

A: The 3811-60052 and 3811-60050 use stainless steel body material, while the 3811-40004 uses beryllium copper body material. Both materials are compatible with the SMPS connector series and maintain equivalent electrical performance. Material selection may affect thermal properties and mechanical durability in specific environmental conditions.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3811-60052, 3811-60050, and 3811-40004 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electronic components.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the 3811-40004?

A: The operating temperature range for the 3811-40004 is not specified in the available technical data. The 3811-60052 and 3811-60050 both operate across -65°C to 165°C. Applications requiring confirmed temperature specifications should reference the 3811-60052 or 3811-60050.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-frequency applications?

A: Yes, within the constraints of port count and application circuit design. All three parts support 65 GHz maximum frequency operation, 50 ohm impedance, and identical contact termination methods. Interchangeability is limited to applications where the port count of the selected substitute matches the circuit design requirements.

Q: What does "Board Edge, Cutout" mounting mean?

A: Board Edge, Cutout mounting indicates that the connector is designed to mount at the edge of a printed circuit board with a cutout feature. The connector body interfaces with the board edge, and the solder termination points connect to the PCB traces. This mounting style is standard across all three equivalent parts.

Q: Are there any REACH or ECCN restrictions on these parts?

A: The 3811-60052 and 3811-60050 are REACH Affected components. The 3811-40004 is REACH Unaffected. All three parts carry ECCN classification EAR99. Applications subject to export control or chemical substance regulations should verify compliance requirements with the specific part selected.
