BNC Connector Plug 73061 - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Pomona Electronics 73061 is a BNC connector plug designed for 50-ohm coaxial cable applications. This right-angle crimp connector is configured as a male pin, free-hanging (in-line) component suitable for RF and signal transmission systems operating up to 4 GHz. The part maintains active product status with 843 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where connector performance requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Pomona Electronics 73061 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector style (BNC)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Crimp for both contact and shield)
• Compatible cable groups (RG-58, 141)
• Fastening mechanism (Bayonet Lock)
• Maximum frequency rating (4 GHz or higher)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C or broader)
• Voltage rating (500 V or higher)
• Mating cycle rating (500 or higher)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2466243-1 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Pomona Electronics 73061 and TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2466243-1 maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and packaging format. The Pomona part is supplied in bulk packaging with 843 units in stock, while the TE Connectivity equivalent is supplied in bag packaging with 1217 units available. Both connectors satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 50-ohm RF applications up to 4 GHz with equivalent environmental and operational ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2466243-1 directly replace the Pomona Electronics 73061?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50-ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (BNC plug, male pin, right-angle crimp, free-hanging), and environmental ratings (-65°C ~ 165°C operating temperature, 500 V voltage rating). Bayonet lock fastening and compatible cable groups (RG-58, 141) are identical across both parts.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and bag packaging?

A: Bulk packaging and bag packaging represent different distribution formats. Bulk packaging typically accommodates larger quantities in a single container, while bag packaging provides smaller unit quantities per package. Both packaging types contain identical connector specifications and performance characteristics.

Q: Are there material differences between these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature brass bodies with nickel finish and gold-plated center contacts. The Pomona part specifies brass center contact material, while the TE Connectivity part specifies phosphor bronze center contact material. Both materials are compatible with the specified 50-ohm impedance and performance requirements.

Q: Do both connectors support the same cable types?

A: Yes. Both the Pomona Electronics 73061 and TE Connectivity 2466243-1 are compatible with RG-58 and RG-141 coaxial cables and support identical crimp termination methods for both contact and shield.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector longevity under repeated connection and disconnection operations.
