TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 414394-1 BNC Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 414394-1 is a BNC Connector Jack with female socket configuration designed for 75 Ohm coaxial RF applications. This through-hole solder-mount connector operates at frequencies up to 2 GHz and is rated for 500 Volts with 500 mating cycles. The part is currently in Active product status with 861 pieces available in new original inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply constraints, or when design requirements permit alternative configurations that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part identified for this connector is currently in Obsolete status, requiring careful evaluation before implementation in new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of coaxial BNC connectors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 5-1634506-2 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following matching criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 2 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Number of Ports: 1

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C
• Mating Cycles: 500

Allowable Variations: The substitute part exhibits differences in body material (Zinc Alloy versus Zinc), body finish (Nickel versus Tin-Lead), dielectric material (Polymethylpentene versus Polytetrafluoroethylene), and RoHS compliance status. These variations do not affect functional equivalence for 75 Ohm RF coaxial applications within the specified operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (414394-1): The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 414394-1 is the recommended selection for new designs and applications. This part maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability of 861 pieces. The part is suitable for immediate procurement and integration into production systems. The RoHS non-compliant status requires evaluation against specific regulatory requirements for the end application.

Substitute Part Consideration (5-1634506-2): The substitute part 5-1634506-2 is classified as Obsolete and should not be selected for new designs or long-term production applications. However, this part maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical RF and mechanical parameters. The substitute part offers RoHS Compliant status, which may provide regulatory advantages in specific applications where the primary part's non-compliant status presents constraints.

Compliance Considerations: The primary part carries RoHS non-compliant designation with REACH Affected status. The substitute part is RoHS Compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. Applications subject to RoHS directives or REACH regulations should evaluate the compliance implications of each part selection. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Material and Finish Variations: The substitute part incorporates Zinc Alloy body material with Nickel finish and Polymethylpentene dielectric, compared to the primary part's Zinc body with Tin-Lead finish and Polytetrafluoroethylene dielectric. These material variations do not affect electrical performance within the specified 75 Ohm impedance and 2 GHz frequency parameters. The Nickel finish of the substitute part provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Tin-Lead finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute part 5-1634506-2 be used as a direct replacement for 414394-1 in existing designs?

A: The substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including impedance, frequency rating, voltage rating, mounting configuration, and termination method. However, the substitute part is in Obsolete status, making it unsuitable for new production applications. For existing designs already in production, the substitute part provides functional equivalence but should not be considered for long-term supply planning.

Q: What are the key differences between the primary part and substitute part?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Product Status—414394-1 is Active while 5-1634506-2 is Obsolete; (2) RoHS Compliance—414394-1 is non-compliant while 5-1634506-2 is compliant; (3) Body Material—414394-1 uses Zinc with Tin-Lead finish while 5-1634506-2 uses Zinc Alloy with Nickel finish; (4) Dielectric Material—414394-1 uses PTFE while 5-1634506-2 uses PMP. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any frequency or impedance limitations when using the substitute part?

A: No. Both parts are rated for identical frequency performance (2 GHz maximum) and impedance (75 Ohms). The substitute part maintains full RF performance equivalence within the specified operating parameters.

Q: How do the material differences affect connector performance?

A: The Zinc Alloy body with Nickel finish on the substitute part provides equivalent structural integrity and electrical performance compared to the Zinc body with Tin-Lead finish on the primary part. The Polymethylpentene dielectric in the substitute part maintains the same electrical characteristics as the Polytetrafluoroethylene dielectric in the primary part for 75 Ohm coaxial applications.

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

A: The primary part (414394-1) is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute part (5-1634506-2) is RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements for RoHS compliance must use the substitute part. Applications without RoHS constraints can use either part based on availability and supply considerations.

Q: Can both parts be used interchangeably in the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical through-hole mounting configuration, solder termination method, and physical form factor. PCB layouts designed for 414394-1 accommodate 5-1634506-2 without modification. However, the Obsolete status of the substitute part limits its practical application for new production.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 500 mating cycles. This specification is identical across both connectors and represents the mechanical durability limit for repeated connection and disconnection operations.

Q: Are there any temperature operating range differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. Temperature performance is fully equivalent between the primary and substitute parts.
