Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 413589-2 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute parts must maintain the following core specifications:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 2 GHz minimum
• Voltage Rating: 500 V minimum
• Mating Cycles: 500 minimum

Acceptable Variations:

• Cable group compatibility may extend beyond RG-59 series
• Operating temperature range may exceed the original specification
• Body material and center contact material may differ
• Dielectric material composition may vary
• Insertion loss may differ within acceptable RF performance parameters
• RoHS compliance status may differ

The identified substitute parts (5413589-2 and 31-71008-RFX) satisfy all critical matching parameters and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 413589-2 in applications requiring 75-ohm BNC plug connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413589-2:

This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 413589-2 while offering improved regulatory compliance. The 5413589-2 is RoHS Compliant, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements for new applications and system upgrades. Both parts are classified as obsolete, indicating limited future availability. The 5413589-2 is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs where RoHS compliance is required or preferred.

Amphenol RF 31-71008-RFX:

This substitute provides extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C versus -55°C ~ 85°C) and ROHS3 Compliant status, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or stricter regulatory compliance. The 31-71008-RFX is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is available for legacy system support and repair applications. Insertion loss is 0.2 dB compared to 0.15 dB for the main part, representing a minor increase in signal attenuation. The part supports an expanded cable group including RG-59, 59B, 62, 140, 210, and Belden 8241, 8263, 8279, 9209 variants.

Selection Criteria:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance with identical thermal specifications, select the 5413589-2. For applications requiring extended temperature operation or maximum regulatory compliance, select the 31-71008-RFX. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 413589-2 for 75-ohm BNC plug connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5413589-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 413589-2?

A: Yes. The 5413589-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including impedance, frequency response, voltage rating, and mating cycles. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Both parts are classified as obsolete.

Q: What is the difference in insertion loss between the main part and the 31-71008-RFX?

A: The 413589-2 specifies 0.15 dB insertion loss, while the 31-71008-RFX specifies 0.2 dB. This 0.05 dB difference represents minimal additional signal attenuation and does not affect compatibility in standard 75-ohm coaxial applications operating at 2 GHz or below.

Q: Is the 31-71008-RFX suitable for new product designs?

A: No. The 31-71008-RFX is classified as "Not For New Designs." This part is available for legacy system support, repair, and maintenance applications only. For new designs, alternative current-production BNC connectors should be evaluated.

Q: What cable types are compatible with each substitute part?

A: The 413589-2 and 5413589-2 support RG-59, 59A, and 59B cable groups. The 31-71008-RFX supports a broader range including RG-59, 59B, 62, 140, 210, and Belden 8241, 8263, 8279, 9209 variants. All three parts are compatible with standard RG-59 series cables.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 413589-2 and 5413589-2 packaging information is not specified. The 31-71008-RFX is supplied in bulk packaging. All three parts include connector, contact, and ferrule components. The 31-71008-RFX includes an additional bushing component.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The 413589-2 and 5413589-2 operate from -55°C to 85°C. The 31-71008-RFX operates from -65°C to 165°C, providing extended thermal capability for applications requiring operation in extreme temperature environments.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 413589-2 is RoHS non-compliant. The 5413589-2 is RoHS Compliant. The 31-71008-RFX is ROHS3 Compliant. Selection should be based on regulatory requirements for the target application.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing equipment?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain the same BNC connector style, 75-ohm impedance, crimp termination, bayonet lock fastening, and 2 GHz frequency rating. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for applications designed for 75-ohm BNC plug connectors.
