Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

All three connectors (414168-3, 5414168-3, and 031-2318) maintain Active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by availability, packaging format, and material composition specifications.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5414168-3: This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 414168-3. The 5414168-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 1505 pieces in stock, compared to the 414168-3 Box packaging with 874 pieces. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The 5414168-3 features Beryllium Copper center contact material and Zinc body material with Nickel finish. Maximum frequency rating is 11 GHz. This part is suitable for direct substitution where bulk packaging and TE Connectivity sourcing are acceptable.

Amphenol RF 031-2318: This substitute provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with cross-manufacturer compatibility. The 031-2318 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 1272 pieces in stock. Material composition differs with Brass center contact and body material, Nickel finish, and Polyoxymethylene (POM) Acetal dielectric. The 031-2318 supports expanded cable group compatibility (RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, M17/119-RG174) and specifies insertion loss at 0.18dB. This part is suitable for direct substitution where Amphenol RF sourcing and extended cable compatibility are required.

Compliance Verification: All three parts satisfy identical regulatory classifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected, EAR99 ECCN) and environmental specifications (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Selection does not compromise compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5414168-3 directly replace the 414168-3 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5414168-3 satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: TNC Jack connector, 50-ohm impedance, panel-mount bulkhead configuration, crimp termination, 500V rating, -65°C to 165°C operating range, and 500 mating cycles. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical compliance certifications.

Q: What are the material differences between the substitute parts?

A: The 5414168-3 features Beryllium Copper center contact and Zinc body material. The 031-2318 features Brass center contact and Brass body material. Both use Nickel finish and Gold-plated center contacts. Dielectric materials differ: Polymethylpentene (PMP) for 5414168-3 and Polyoxymethylene (POM) Acetal for 031-2318. These material variations do not affect electrical performance within the specified 50-ohm impedance and frequency operating parameters.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The 414168-3 is supplied in Box packaging (874 pieces in stock). The 5414168-3 and 031-2318 are supplied in Bulk packaging (1505 and 1272 pieces respectively). Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Does the 031-2318 support the same cable types as the 414168-3?

A: The 031-2318 supports an expanded cable group: RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174. The 5414168-3 supports RG-174, 188, and 316. Both substitutes are compatible with standard 50-ohm transmission line applications. Cable compatibility is determined by crimp termination specifications and connector geometry, which are equivalent across all three parts.

Q: What is the maximum frequency rating for each connector?

A: The 5414168-3 specifies a maximum frequency of 11 GHz. The 031-2318 and 414168-3 do not specify maximum frequency in the provided parameters. All three connectors are rated for 50-ohm impedance and support standard TNC RF applications within commercial operating ranges.

Q: Are all three connectors RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three connectors (414168-3, 5414168-3, and 031-2318) are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. All maintain identical regulatory classification and environmental compliance status.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification for the 031-2318?

A: The 031-2318 specifies insertion loss at 0.18dB. The 414168-3 and 5414168-3 do not provide insertion loss specifications in the available parameters.

Q: Can I use the 031-2318 (Amphenol RF) in place of the 414168-3 (TE Connectivity)?

A: Yes. The 031-2318 satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria: TNC Jack connector, 50-ohm impedance, panel-mount bulkhead configuration, crimp termination, 500V rating, -65°C to 165°C operating range, and 500 mating cycles. Cross-manufacturer substitution is supported where electrical and mechanical specifications align.
