BNC Connector Jack 6-0001-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6-0001-2 is a BNC connector jack manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Trompeter, designed for coaxial RF applications requiring 75 Ohm impedance. This connector features a female socket configuration with right-angle panel mount through-hole solder termination and bayonet lock fastening. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where 75 Ohm BNC connectivity is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6-0001-2 are identified based on the following critical parameters that define functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Bulkhead - Front Side Nut
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Number of Ports: 1

Impedance Consideration: The 6-0001-2 operates at 75 Ohms impedance. Substitute parts identified in this reference operate at 50 Ohms impedance. While both impedance values are standard in RF applications, impedance selection is application-dependent and must be verified against system requirements before substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The 6-0001-2 is classified as obsolete. Both substitute parts, 0731711361 and VBM201, maintain active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Status: All three parts maintain RoHS compliance. The 0731711361 carries ROHS3 certification, representing the most current regulatory compliance standard. The 6-0001-2 and VBM201 are RoHS Compliant under earlier standards.

Impedance Selection: The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is impedance rating. The 6-0001-2 operates at 75 Ohms, while both 0731711361 and VBM201 operate at 50 Ohms. Selection between these parts must be based on system impedance requirements. Impedance mismatch in RF circuits results in signal reflection and transmission loss; therefore, impedance compatibility with the connected transmission line and equipment is mandatory.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Both substitute parts share identical mechanical mounting configurations and electrical ratings with the main part, including frequency response to 4 GHz, 500 V voltage rating, and bayonet lock fastening. Physical footprint and PCB mounting hole patterns are compatible across all three parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0731711361 or VBM201 be used as direct replacements for the 6-0001-2?

A: Both parts share identical mechanical mounting, electrical ratings, and frequency response. However, the 50 Ohm impedance of the substitutes differs from the 75 Ohm impedance of the 6-0001-2. Direct substitution is only appropriate if the system design permits 50 Ohm impedance operation. Impedance mismatch will degrade signal integrity.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both 0731711361 and VBM201 operate at 50 Ohms with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The 0731711361 is manufactured by Molex and carries ROHS3 certification. The VBM201 is manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions and carries RoHS compliance. The VBM201 specifies operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C and includes mating cycle rating of 500 cycles with 0.2dB insertion loss specification.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 6-0001-2 is supplied in standard packaging. The 0731711361 is packaged in bags, while the VBM201 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The 6-0001-2 specifies -65°C ~ 165°C operating temperature. The VBM201 specifies -40°C ~ 85°C. If the application requires operation below -40°C or above 85°C, the VBM201 is not suitable. The 0731711361 does not specify operating temperature limits in the provided data.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and mounting compatibility is confirmed across all three parts. Electrical interchangeability depends on system impedance requirements. If the original design operates at 75 Ohms, substitution with 50 Ohm parts requires system-level verification to confirm impedance compatibility and acceptable signal performance.
