Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-619045-1 with the Cinch Connectivity Solutions 131-6701-401 is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matched Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMC
• Connector Type: Jack, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount with Bulkhead configuration
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Center Contact Material: Brass
• Body Material: Brass
• Dielectric Material: PTFE
• Housing Color: Gold
• Body Finish: Gold
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Number of Ports: 1

Termination Difference: The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the contact termination method. The 5-619045-1 uses crimp termination, while the 131-6701-401 uses solder cup termination. Both termination methods are standard for SMC connectors and provide equivalent electrical performance when properly executed.

Compliance Status: The substitute part 131-6701-401 is active product status with RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the main part is obsolete with ROHS3 Compliant status. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and share identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4010.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions 131-6701-401 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5-619045-1 based on matching core RF and mechanical specifications. The substitute part maintains identical 50 Ohm impedance, SMC connector geometry, panel mount bulkhead configuration, and material composition.

Compliance Considerations: The 131-6701-401 holds active product status with current RoHS compliance certification, whereas the 5-619045-1 is obsolete. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS tariff codes, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Termination Method Transition: Selection between crimp and solder cup termination depends on assembly process requirements. The crimp termination of the original part requires specialized crimping tools and dies, while the solder cup termination of the substitute requires standard soldering equipment. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical performance in 50 Ohm RF applications when executed to specification.

Packaging and Availability: The substitute part is supplied with integrated hardware (connector, nut, washer) and carries higher inventory availability (958 pieces) compared to the original part status. The substitute includes MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 131-6701-401 directly replace the 5-619045-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 131-6701-401 provides functional equivalence for RF and mechanical performance. The primary design consideration is the termination method change from crimp to solder cup, which requires assembly process modification but does not affect electrical performance or connector mating characteristics.

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

A: Crimp termination uses mechanical deformation to secure the cable conductor, while solder cup termination uses molten solder. Both methods provide equivalent electrical continuity and impedance matching in 50 Ohm applications. Selection depends on available assembly equipment and process capability.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mating interfaces identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors use the SMC standard geometry with identical bulkhead panel mount configuration and threaded fastening. The connectors are mechanically interchangeable at the mating interface.

Q: What is the significance of the 10 GHz frequency specification on the substitute part?

A: The 131-6701-401 is specified for operation to 10 GHz, indicating validated performance across this frequency range. The original part does not specify a maximum frequency, but SMC connectors of this construction typically operate across similar frequency ranges.

Q: Does the substitute part require different handling or storage procedures?

A: The substitute part carries MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Standard component storage practices apply without special humidity control requirements.

Q: What is included in the packaging of the 131-6701-401?

A: The substitute part includes three components: the connector body, a threaded nut, and a washer. These are standard hardware for bulkhead panel mount installation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original part is ROHS3 Compliant, and the substitute is RoHS Compliant. Both meet current environmental compliance requirements for electronic components.
