TE Connectivity 413589-3 BNC Connector Plug 75 Ohm Crimp - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 413589-3 is a BNC connector plug designed for 75 ohm coaxial applications. This male pin connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, with a bayonet lock fastening mechanism. The connector is rated for frequencies up to 2 GHz and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The 413589-3 maintains Active product status and is currently in stock with 1088 units available. Substitute parts become necessary when addressing obsolete product lines, improving RoHS compliance status, or accommodating specific packaging requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 413589-3 BNC connector plug is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector style (BNC), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (75 Ohms), contact and shield termination method (Crimp), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening type (Bayonet Lock), frequency rating (2 GHz maximum), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), voltage rating (500 V), insertion loss (0.15 dB), mating cycles (500), center contact material (Brass), center contact plating (Gold), and dielectric material (Polyethylene PE).

The substitute parts identified—5413589-3 and 5221185-3—maintain complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters. Variations in body material composition (Zinc versus Brass versus Zinc Die Cast) and body finish application do not affect functional performance within the defined electrical specifications. Packaging format differences (standard versus bulk) and product status transitions (Active to Obsolete or vice versa) represent administrative rather than technical distinctions. RoHS compliance status improvements in substitute parts provide enhanced regulatory alignment without altering connector performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

413589-3 (Primary Selection): This part maintains Active product status with the highest current inventory level (1088 units). Selection is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. The connector delivers full electrical and mechanical performance across all specified parameters.

5221185-3 (Preferred Substitute): This part is recommended as the primary substitute option. It maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for modern applications. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical to the main part. The Zinc Die Cast body material provides equivalent functional characteristics to the Zinc body of the main part. Inventory availability is adequate at 971 units.

5413589-3 (Secondary Substitute): This part is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries Obsolete product status. Selection is appropriate only when 5221185-3 is unavailable and RoHS compliance is not required. The Brass body material provides equivalent performance to the Zinc body of the main part. Current inventory is 986 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5221185-3 be used as a direct replacement for 413589-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5221185-3 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters including impedance (75 Ohms), frequency rating (2 GHz), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), voltage rating (500 V), insertion loss (0.15 dB), and mating cycle rating (500). The connector style, termination method, and fastening mechanism are identical. Variations in body material composition do not affect functional performance within the specified electrical envelope.

Q: What is the difference between the body materials (Zinc, Brass, Zinc Die Cast) used in these connectors?

A: Body material composition affects manufacturing process and material sourcing but does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance characteristics of the connector within the specified operating parameters. All three materials—Zinc, Brass, and Zinc Die Cast—are compatible with the nickel finish and provide equivalent shielding and structural integrity for this connector class.

Q: Why does 5413589-3 have Obsolete product status?

A: Product status reflects TE Connectivity's lifecycle management and does not indicate functional deficiency. The 5413589-3 remains electrically and mechanically equivalent to the active parts. Obsolete status typically indicates that the manufacturer has transitioned production to successor part numbers. Selection should prioritize active parts (413589-3 or 5221185-3) when available.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: The main part (413589-3) carries "Not applicable" RoHS status, while 5413589-3 is RoHS Compliant and 5221185-3 is ROHS3 Compliant. These designations reflect regulatory compliance certifications. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, 5221185-3 is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS requirements, all three parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connector options?

A: The main part (413589-3) is supplied in standard packaging, while both substitute parts (5413589-3 and 5221185-3) are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility. Selection between packaging formats depends on procurement and inventory management requirements rather than technical specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably with different cable types?

A: These connectors are specified for use with Belden 8218 cable group. All three parts maintain this cable group specification. Connector compatibility is determined by the impedance rating (75 Ohms), dielectric material (Polyethylene PE), and physical dimensions, which are identical across all three parts.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification and does it vary between these parts?

A: All three connectors specify 0.15 dB insertion loss at the maximum frequency rating of 2 GHz. This specification is identical across 413589-3, 5413589-3, and 5221185-3, indicating equivalent signal transmission performance.

Q: How many mating cycles are these connectors rated for?

A: All three connectors are rated for 500 mating cycles. This specification is consistent across the main part and both substitutes, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector longevity under normal use conditions.
