Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity AMP 5-1634511-3 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Mating Cycles: 500
• Number of Ports: 1

The Amphenol RF 000-36800-RFX meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both connectors maintain identical BNC jack configuration, 50-ohm impedance, crimp termination methodology, and operational specifications. Differences in body material (zinc alloy versus brass), dielectric material (PMP versus PTFE), and operating temperature range do not preclude functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol RF 000-36800-RFX serves as a direct functional equivalent to the TE Connectivity AMP 5-1634511-3 for applications requiring BNC jack connectors with 50-ohm impedance and crimp termination.

Product Status Consideration: The TE Connectivity part is classified as obsolete, while the Amphenol RF equivalent maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability.

Compliance Status: The Amphenol RF 000-36800-RFX holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and systems subject to environmental compliance requirements. The TE Connectivity part lists RoHS status as not applicable and REACH status as vendor undefined.

Operating Temperature: The Amphenol RF substitute extends the operating temperature range to -65°C ~ 165°C, providing broader thermal operational capability compared to the original part's -55°C ~ 85°C specification. This extended range does not compromise compatibility within the original part's thermal envelope.

Cable Compatibility: The Amphenol RF part supports expanded cable group compatibility, including RG-58, 58A, 58B, 58C, 141, 303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907, compared to the original part's RG-58C, 141A, and Belden 9907 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 000-36800-RFX directly replace the TE Connectivity AMP 5-1634511-3 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: BNC jack configuration, 50-ohm impedance, crimp termination for center contact and shield, bayonet lock fastening, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 500-volt rating, and 500 mating cycles. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What are the differences between these two BNC jack connectors?

A: The primary differences are body material (zinc alloy versus brass), dielectric material (PMP versus PTFE), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C versus -65°C ~ 165°C), product status (obsolete versus active), and regulatory compliance (RoHS and REACH status). These differences do not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Q: Which cable types are compatible with each connector?

A: The TE Connectivity part supports RG-58C, 141A, and Belden 9907 cables. The Amphenol RF substitute supports a broader range: RG-58, 58A, 58B, 58C, 141, 303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and 9907. Both connectors are compatible with RG-58C and Belden 9907 cables.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the Amphenol RF part affect compatibility?

A: No. The Amphenol RF part's extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C) encompasses the original part's specification (-55°C ~ 85°C). The substitute operates within and beyond the original thermal envelope, maintaining full compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The TE Connectivity part is obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The Amphenol RF equivalent is active, ensuring ongoing manufacturing support, current inventory availability, and long-term supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The TE Connectivity part includes 4 pieces per connector package (1 connector, 1 contact, 1 ferrule, 1 sleeve). The Amphenol RF part is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your application.

Q: Do both connectors meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The Amphenol RF 000-36800-RFX holds ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, meeting current environmental regulations. The TE Connectivity part lists RoHS status as not applicable and REACH status as vendor undefined, indicating it predates current regulatory frameworks.
