Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5221199-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Group: RG-179
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 2 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Number of Ports: 1

All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional compatibility in applications previously served by the 5221199-5. Variations in body material composition, center contact material, and dielectric material do not affect substitution eligibility when all mandatory parameters remain constant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 221199-5 (Parametric Equivalent)

The TE Connectivity 221199-5 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 5221199-5. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical configuration while offering active product status. The 221199-5 is manufactured by the same supplier as the original component, ensuring design continuity and compatibility. RoHS compliance status differs from the original part; however, both components share equivalent ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 85°C, compared to the original -65°C to 85°C specification. This substitute is suitable for applications where the lower temperature limit does not present operational constraints.

Molex 0731000178 (Parametric Equivalent)

The Molex 0731000178 provides cross-manufacturer substitution with full electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. This connector is actively manufactured and maintains all critical specifications including 75 ohm impedance, crimp termination, and RG-179 cable compatibility. The component utilizes zinc alloy body material and phosphor bronze center contact material, differing from the original TE Connectivity design. Dielectric material is polypropylene (PP) rather than polyethylene (PE). This substitute is suitable for applications requiring active product availability from an alternative supplier.

Molex 0731713070 (Parametric Equivalent)

The Molex 0731713070 represents an alternative cross-manufacturer option with full parameter equivalence to the original 5221199-5. This connector is actively produced and maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical configuration. Material composition differs from the original part, with zinc alloy body and phosphor bronze center contact. This substitute is suitable for applications where supplier diversification is required.

All three substitute parts are classified as EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code as the original component, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 221199-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 5221199-5?

A: Yes. The 221199-5 maintains all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters including 75 ohm impedance, BNC jack female socket configuration, crimp termination, free hanging mounting, RG-179 cable compatibility, and bayonet lock fastening. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -65°C to 85°C). Substitution is valid for applications within the narrower temperature range.

Q: What are the material differences between the original 5221199-5 and the Molex substitutes?

A: The original 5221199-5 uses zinc body material with beryllium copper center contact and polyethylene dielectric. The Molex 0731000178 and 0731713070 use zinc alloy body material with phosphor bronze center contact and polypropylene dielectric. These material variations do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility at the specified operating parameters.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 221199-5 is RoHS compliant. The Molex 0731000178 and 0731713070 have RoHS status listed as not applicable. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Q: What is the maximum frequency rating for these connectors?

A: All parts, including the original 5221199-5 and all substitutes, are rated for maximum frequency of 2 GHz.

Q: Can these connectors be used with cable groups other than RG-179?

A: The specifications provided indicate these connectors are designed for RG-179 cable group. Use with other cable types is outside the scope of the provided parameters.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: All parts maintain a voltage rating of 500 V.

Q: Are there differences in insertion loss between the original and substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5221199-5 and 221199-5 both specify 0.15 dB insertion loss. The Molex 0731000178 and 0731713070 do not provide insertion loss specifications in the available data.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5221199-5 and 221199-5 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). The Molex 0731000178 lists MSL as not applicable.
