Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 413959-5 with the active equivalent 5413959-5 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters: BNC connector style, male pin plug configuration, 50-ohm impedance, crimp termination for both contact and shield, free-hanging right-angle mounting, bayonet lock fastening, RG-180 and RG-195 cable group compatibility, 4 GHz maximum frequency, -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range, 500-volt voltage rating, and 500 mating cycles. The substitute part 5413959-5 is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original 413959-5 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Material composition differs in the center contact (beryllium copper versus brass), while all other physical and electrical characteristics remain functionally equivalent for direct substitution in RF coaxial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5413959-5 serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 413959-5 BNC connector plug. Selection of the substitute part is supported by three primary factors: product status alignment, regulatory compliance, and electrical-mechanical parameter equivalence.

The original 413959-5 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain constraints for new production and field service requirements. The substitute 5413959-5 maintains active production status, ensuring consistent availability and long-term component sourcing.

From a regulatory perspective, the substitute part 5413959-5 carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original 413959-5 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS directives and environmental regulations in manufacturing and end-use markets.

Electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent across both components. Both maintain 50-ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500-volt voltage rating, and 500 mating cycle capability. Termination methods, mounting configuration, cable group compatibility, and operating temperature range are identical. Physical construction parameters including body material (zinc), body finish (nickel), center contact plating (gold), and dielectric material (polymethylpentene) are preserved in the substitute part.

The substitute part 5413959-5 is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs and new applications requiring BNC male plug connectors with 50-ohm impedance, right-angle mounting, and crimp termination for RG-180 and RG-195 coaxial cables.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5413959-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 413959-5 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5413959-5 maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence with the 413959-5 across all critical parameters including impedance, frequency rating, termination method, mounting configuration, and cable compatibility. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 413959-5 and 5413959-5?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 413959-5 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5413959-5 is in active production and RoHS compliant. The center contact material differs (brass in the original versus beryllium copper in the substitute), though both maintain equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: The electrical specifications are equivalent. Both components provide 50-ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500-volt voltage rating, 500 mating cycles, and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The insertion loss specification is provided for the original part (0.2 dB) but not specified for the substitute part.

Q: Is the 5413959-5 compatible with RG-180 and RG-195 cables?

A: Yes. The 5413959-5 is compatible with both RG-180 and RG-195 cable groups, matching the cable group specification of the original 413959-5.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in many markets and applications. The substitute part 5413959-5 is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications and regions with RoHS directives. The original 413959-5 is RoHS non-compliant and may not be acceptable for new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Are the termination methods the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the 413959-5 and 5413959-5 use crimp termination for both the contact and shield, maintaining identical termination methodology and tooling requirements.

Q: What is the mounting configuration for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are configured for free-hanging in-line mounting with right-angle orientation, suitable for applications requiring non-panel-mounted BNC connections.

Q: Are there any inventory considerations when transitioning from 413959-5 to 5413959-5?

A: The original 413959-5 has 1021 pieces in stock, while the substitute 5413959-5 has 866 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components. Transition planning should account for current inventory levels and production timelines.
