Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5225087-5 is determined by strict alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitution relationships:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style must be SHV
• Connector type must be Jack, Male Pin
• Impedance classification must be Non-Constant
• Fastening type must be Bayonet Lock
• Voltage rating must be 5000 V
• Operating temperature range must be -65°C to 200°C
• Mating cycles must be 500
• Dielectric material must be PTFE
• Body finish must be Nickel
• Center contact plating must be Gold

Secondary Considerations:

• Contact termination method (Crimp vs. Solder Cup) affects assembly process but does not alter electrical performance
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line vs. Panel Mount) affects physical installation but maintains connector interface compatibility
• Cable group compatibility (RG-59, 62 series) determines applicable cable types

The substitute part TE Connectivity 51494-2 satisfies all primary compatibility criteria while differing in termination methodology and mounting configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Validity: The TE Connectivity 51494-2 is a valid electrical and mechanical substitute for the 5225087-5 based on identical core parameters: SHV connector style, jack male pin configuration, non-constant impedance, bayonet lock fastening, 5000 V voltage rating, -65°C to 200°C operating range, 500 mating cycles, PTFE dielectric, nickel body finish, and gold center contact plating.

Product Status Advantage: The 51494-2 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The 5225087-5 is classified as obsolete, making the 51494-2 the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, ensuring regulatory consistency in system integration.

Application-Specific Considerations: Selection between these parts depends on installation methodology. The 5225087-5 is configured for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp termination. The 51494-2 is configured for panel mount applications with solder cup termination. Choose based on your system's physical mounting requirements and cable assembly process.

Cable Compatibility: The 51494-2 supports RG-59 and RG-62 cable groups, which are the primary standards within the 5225087-5's broader cable group specification. Applications using RG-59A, 59B, 62A, 62B, 124, 140, or 210 cables should confirm compatibility with the 51494-2's specified cable group before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 51494-2 directly replace the 5225087-5 in existing assemblies?

A: Electrical and RF performance are equivalent. Physical replacement depends on your installation configuration. The 5225087-5 is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination, while the 51494-2 is designed for panel mount with solder termination. If your system uses in-line crimp connections, the 51494-2 requires redesign of the mechanical mounting and cable termination approach.

Q: What is the difference between crimp and solder cup termination?

A: The 5225087-5 uses crimp termination, where the connector is mechanically compressed onto the cable. The 51494-2 uses solder cup termination, where the cable is soldered into the connector. Both methods achieve electrical connection; the choice depends on your assembly process and equipment availability.

Q: Are there cable compatibility restrictions with the 51494-2?

A: The 51494-2 is specified for RG-59 and RG-62 cable groups. The 5225087-5 supports a broader range including RG-59A, 59B, 62A, 62B, 124, 140, and 210. If your application uses cables outside the RG-59 and RG-62 base specifications, confirm compatibility with the 51494-2 before selection.

Q: Why is the 5225087-5 obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The 51494-2 remains active and provides equivalent electrical performance, making it the appropriate choice for new procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 5225087-5 and 51494-2 are RoHS compliant and REACH affected, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance for system integration.

Q: What is the significance of the non-constant impedance specification?

A: Non-constant impedance indicates that the connector does not maintain a controlled impedance value across its operating range. Both parts share this specification, ensuring equivalent RF performance characteristics in applications where impedance matching is not critical.

Q: Can I use the 51494-2 in a high-voltage application?

A: Yes. The 51494-2 maintains the 5000 V voltage rating of the 5225087-5, supporting identical high-voltage applications across the -65°C to 200°C operating temperature range.
