Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 413589-6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

Connector Style: BNC (all substitutes maintain this standard)
Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin (all substitutes maintain this configuration)
Impedance: 75 Ohms (all substitutes maintain this electrical specification)
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (all substitutes maintain this mechanical configuration)
Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock (all substitutes maintain this locking mechanism)
Number of Ports: 1 (all substitutes maintain single-port configuration)

Cable Compatibility Parameters: Substitutes are grouped by supported cable types. The 413589-6 is optimized for RG-59 double braid cable. Alternative parts support different cable groups including RG-6, RG-179, and AT&T 735 series cables, which determines their primary application context.

Performance Parameters: Frequency capability ranges from 2 GHz to 4 GHz across the substitute options. Operating temperature ranges extend from -65°C to 165°C in advanced variants, compared to the 413589-6 specification of -55°C to 85°C.

Termination Variations: The 413589-6 uses crimp termination for both center contact and shield. One substitute part (031-71013-RFX) uses solder termination for the center contact while maintaining crimp shield termination, representing a different assembly methodology.

Compliance and Material Differences: The 413589-6 is RoHS non-compliant with zinc body material. Amphenol RF substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with brass or phosphor bronze body materials, supporting modern regulatory requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status with RoHS3 Compliance:

The Amphenol RF 031-70000 and 031-70013 are classified as active products with ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for new design implementations requiring regulatory compliance. The 031-70000 supports RG-6 cable groups with 4 GHz frequency capability and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C). The 031-70013 supports RG-179 cable groups with identical frequency and temperature specifications.

For Extended Operating Temperature Requirements:

Multiple Amphenol RF substitutes provide operating temperature ranges of -65°C to 165°C, compared to the 413589-6 specification of -55°C to 85°C. These include 031-70000, 031-70008, 031-70013, 031-70238, 031-71008-1RFX, 031-71008-2000, and 031-80101. Selection among these depends on cable group compatibility and product status.

For Higher Frequency Performance:

The 031-70000, 031-70008, 031-70238, and 031-80101 support 4 GHz maximum frequency, exceeding the 413589-6 specification of 2 GHz. The 031-70237 supports 3 GHz frequency. These options are appropriate for applications requiring enhanced frequency performance.

For Cable-Specific Applications:

RG-59 cable compatibility: 031-71008-1RFX (Not For New Designs status)
RG-179 cable compatibility: 031-70013 (Active), 031-80101 (Not For New Designs status)
RG-6 cable compatibility: 031-70000 (Active), 031-71000-RFX (Active)
AT&T 735 cable compatibility: 031-70237, 031-70238 (both Not For New Designs status)

For Termination Method Variations:

The 031-71013-RFX uses solder termination for the center contact while maintaining crimp shield termination. This part is classified as active and supports RG-179 cable groups with 3 GHz frequency capability. Selection of this part depends on assembly process requirements and cable compatibility.

For Legacy System Maintenance:

Parts classified as "Not For New Designs" (031-70008, 031-70237, 031-70238, 031-71008-1RFX, 031-80101) are appropriate for replacement and maintenance of existing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use an Amphenol RF substitute in place of the TE Connectivity 413589-6?

A: Yes. All listed Amphenol RF parts maintain the core BNC connector specifications: 75-ohm impedance, male pin plug configuration, bayonet lock fastening, and free-hanging in-line mounting. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established through these shared parameters. Cable group compatibility must be verified based on your specific application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between crimp and solder termination options?

A: The 413589-6 and most substitutes use crimp termination for the center contact, which provides mechanical connection through compression. The 031-71013-RFX uses solder termination for the center contact, which requires thermal bonding during assembly. Both methods maintain the same electrical performance and impedance characteristics. Selection depends on your assembly process and equipment capabilities.

Q: Why do some substitutes have higher frequency ratings than the 413589-6?

A: The 413589-6 is rated for 2 GHz maximum frequency. Several Amphenol RF substitutes are rated for 3 GHz or 4 GHz maximum frequency. These higher ratings reflect improved dielectric materials (PTFE instead of polyethylene) and refined connector geometry. Higher-rated parts can be used in applications requiring the 413589-6 specification without performance degradation.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" product status mean?

A: Parts marked "Not For New Designs" are available for replacement and maintenance of existing systems but are not recommended for incorporation into new product designs. These parts remain fully functional and compatible. If you are designing a new system, select from parts with "Active" product status: 031-70000, 031-70013, 031-71000-RFX, 031-71008-2000, or 031-71013-RFX.

Q: How do I select the correct substitute based on cable type?

A: The 413589-6 is optimized for RG-59 double braid cable. If your application uses different cable types, select the substitute designed for that cable group: 031-70000 for RG-6 cables, 031-70013 or 031-80101 for RG-179 cables, or 031-70237 and 031-70238 for AT&T 735 cables. Cable compatibility is critical for proper impedance matching and signal integrity.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS3 compliance?

A: The 413589-6 is RoHS non-compliant, while all Amphenol RF substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. RoHS3 compliance indicates the connector meets European Union restrictions on hazardous substances. For applications subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance, select from the Amphenol RF substitute options.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges among the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 413589-6 operates from -55°C to 85°C. Most Amphenol RF substitutes extend this range to -65°C to 165°C, providing enhanced performance in extreme temperature environments. The 031-70237 and 031-71000-RFX operate from -40°C to 85°C, and the 031-71013-RFX operates from -40°C to 80°C. Select based on your application's thermal requirements.

Q: What does the inclusion of an insulator or ferrule mean?

A: The 413589-6 includes 3 pieces: connector, contact, and ferrule. Some substitutes include 4 pieces with an additional insulator or sleeve component. These additional components provide enhanced dielectric support and mechanical stability. The presence of these components does not affect electrical compatibility but may influence assembly procedures.

Q: Can I mix and match components from different manufacturers?

A: All listed parts maintain BNC connector standardization for the plug, male pin configuration. However, component mixing should be limited to the complete connector assembly. Do not attempt to interchange individual internal components (contacts, ferrules, insulators) between different manufacturer parts, as internal geometries and tolerances may vary.

Q: What insertion loss difference should I expect between the 413589-6 and substitutes?

A: The 413589-6 specifies 0.15 dB insertion loss, while all Amphenol RF substitutes specify 0.2 dB insertion loss. This 0.05 dB difference is negligible for most applications and falls within typical measurement tolerances. Both values meet standard BNC connector performance specifications for 75-ohm systems.
