Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of coaxial RF connectors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. The 5226601-1 and its substitute 5226601-3 share identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Electrical Parameters: Both connectors operate at identical frequency limits (2 GHz maximum), voltage ratings (335 V), and impedance classification (Non-Constant).

Mechanical Parameters: Both feature identical connector styles (UHF, Mini), connector types (Receptacle, Female Socket), contact termination methods (Solder Cup), shield termination (Solder), mounting configurations (Panel Mount with Flange), and fastening types (Threaded).

Environmental Parameters: Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 85°C), mating cycle ratings (500), and moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Compliance Parameters: Both are RoHS Compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Material Variations: The substitute part differs only in center contact material (Phosphor Bronze versus Brass) and dielectric material (Polymethylpentene versus Polytetrafluoroethylene), which do not affect functional equivalence within the specified electrical and mechanical operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5226601-1 and 5226601-3 are active, RoHS-compliant products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Selection between these parts is based on availability and material preferences rather than functional performance differences.

5226601-1 Selection Criteria: Choose this part when Brass center contact material and PTFE dielectric material are specified in design documentation or when higher current inventory levels are required. This part maintains 1089 units in stock.

5226601-3 Selection Criteria: Choose this part when Phosphor Bronze center contact material and PMP dielectric material are specified in design documentation or when supply chain diversification is necessary. This part maintains 964 units in stock.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance requirements, environmental operating conditions, and regulatory compliance standards. The material differences between center contact and dielectric materials do not affect functional equivalence within the specified 2 GHz frequency limit, 335 V voltage rating, and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 5226601-1 and 5226601-3 fully interchangeable in RF coaxial applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet identical electrical specifications (2 GHz maximum frequency, 335 V voltage rating, Non-Constant impedance), mechanical specifications (UHF Mini Receptacle, Female Socket, Solder Cup termination, Panel Mount with threaded fastening), and environmental specifications (-55°C to 85°C operating temperature, 500 mating cycles, MSL 1). The differences in center contact material (Brass versus Phosphor Bronze) and dielectric material (PTFE versus PMP) do not affect functional equivalence within these specified parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the center contact materials used in these connectors?

A: The 5226601-1 uses Brass center contact material, while the 5226601-3 uses Phosphor Bronze. Both materials are plated with Tin and function identically within the specified electrical and mechanical operating parameters of this connector category.

Q: What is the difference between the dielectric materials?

A: The 5226601-1 uses Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the dielectric material, while the 5226601-3 uses Polymethylpentene (PMP). Both materials support the specified frequency range up to 2 GHz and operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5226601-1 and 5226601-3 are RoHS Compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both connectors have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, which indicates Unlimited moisture sensitivity. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

Q: How many mating cycles are these connectors rated for?

A: Both connectors are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating the number of times the connector can be mated and unmated while maintaining specified electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors have a voltage rating of 335 V, which defines the maximum voltage that can be safely applied across the connector contacts.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for panel mount applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature Panel Mount configuration with Flange mounting feature and Threaded fastening type, making them suitable for direct panel installation with secure mechanical attachment.
