TE Connectivity 8-1393670-8 Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 8-1393670-8 is a 1.0/2.3 coaxial connector plug with male pin configuration, designed for 75 Ohm RF applications. This connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, free hanging (in-line) mounting, and operates at frequencies up to 2 GHz. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure long-term component availability for new designs and field replacements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 8-1393670-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

Connector style (1.0/2.3) must match exactly
Connector type (Plug, Male Pin) must be identical
Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line) must be consistent
Fastening type (Push-Pull) must be preserved

Electrical Compatibility:

Impedance (75 Ohms) must be maintained
Frequency rating (2 GHz maximum) must be met or exceeded
Number of ports (1) must match

Termination Compatibility:

Contact termination (Crimp) must be identical
Shield termination (Crimp) must be identical

Regulatory & Environmental:

RoHS compliance status must be equivalent or superior
REACH compliance must be maintained
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) must be preserved or improved

The substitute part 8-1393670-4 satisfies all these criteria and represents the active equivalent for the obsolete 8-1393670-8.
