Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 82-5370 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Center Contact Material: Brass with Gold Plating
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Body Material: Brass

Substitution Categories:

Parametric Equivalent (Full Compatibility): Part 138-4408-007 from Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including contact termination (Crimp or Solder), shield termination (Crimp), frequency rating (11 GHz), voltage rating (335 V minimum), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C), and insertion loss (0.15 dB). This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring identical performance specifications.

Functional Equivalent (Termination Variation): Part 4787 from Pomona Electronics provides N Type 50 ohm male pin connector functionality with solder-only termination and clamp-based shield termination. This part is compatible with overlapping cable groups (RG-58, 141, 142, 223) and maintains the same connector interface, but differs in termination method and shield handling approach.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 138-4408-007 is the primary parametric equivalent for the Amphenol RF 82-5370. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (50 ohm impedance, 11 GHz frequency rating, 0.15 dB insertion loss), identical mechanical interface (N Type male plug, threaded fastening, free hanging mounting), and identical operating parameters (500 mating cycles, -65°C to 165°C temperature range). Both parts are RoHS compliant and feature crimp or solder contact termination with crimp shield termination. The Cinch part carries a lower voltage rating (335 V versus 1500 V), which must be evaluated against application requirements. This part is suitable for direct substitution in equivalent RF coaxial applications.

Pomona Electronics 4787 provides functional compatibility as an N Type 50 ohm male plug connector with solder termination. This part differs in termination methodology (solder-only versus crimp or solder) and shield handling (clamp-based versus crimp). The Pomona part is ROHS3 compliant and supports overlapping cable groups. Electrical performance specifications (frequency rating, voltage rating, insertion loss, mating cycles) are not provided for this part. Selection of the Pomona part requires confirmation that solder-only termination and clamp shield termination are compatible with the intended application and cable assembly process.

All three parts are actively manufactured, stocked, and RoHS compliant, supporting procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Cinch 138-4408-007 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol 82-5370?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical specifications for N Type 50 ohm male plug connectors with crimp or solder termination, 11 GHz frequency rating, 0.15 dB insertion loss, and -65°C to 165°C operating temperature. The Cinch part has a lower voltage rating (335 V versus 1500 V), which must be confirmed as acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Amphenol 82-5370 and the Pomona 4787?

A: The Amphenol part supports both crimp and solder contact termination with crimp shield termination, while the Pomona part is solder-only with clamp-based shield termination. The Pomona part does not specify frequency rating, voltage rating, or insertion loss. Selection depends on termination method compatibility with the cable assembly process.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same cable groups?

A: The Amphenol 82-5370 and Cinch 138-4408-007 both support RG-55, 142, 223, and 400 cable groups. The Pomona 4787 supports RG-58, 141, 142, and 223 cable groups. Cable group compatibility must be confirmed for the specific application.

Q: What does the voltage rating difference between parts mean for substitution?

A: The Amphenol 82-5370 is rated for 1500 V, while the Cinch 138-4408-007 is rated for 335 V. The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the connector can safely handle. Applications requiring voltages above 335 V must use the Amphenol part or confirm that the Cinch part meets the application's voltage requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol 82-5370 is ROHS3 compliant, the Cinch 138-4408-007 is RoHS compliant, and the Pomona 4787 is ROHS3 compliant. All parts meet regulatory compliance requirements for RoHS standards.

Q: What is the significance of the shield termination method (Crimp versus Clamp)?

A: Shield termination method affects how the cable shield is secured to the connector body. Crimp termination uses a crimped ferrule, while clamp termination uses a mechanical clamp. The termination method must be compatible with the cable assembly equipment and process. The Amphenol and Cinch parts use crimp termination; the Pomona part uses clamp termination.

Q: Can the Pomona 4787 be substituted if only solder termination is available?

A: Yes, if the application and cable assembly process support solder-only termination and clamp-based shield termination. However, electrical performance specifications for the Pomona part are not provided, so confirmation of frequency rating, voltage rating, and insertion loss compatibility is necessary before substitution.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: The Amphenol 82-5370 and Cinch 138-4408-007 both have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The Pomona 4787 has MSL Not Applicable. All parts can be stored and handled without moisture sensitivity precautions.
