Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol RF 82-97-RFX is a parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the primary difference being center contact material (phosphor bronze versus beryllium copper) and center contact plating (gold versus silver). Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and identical voltage and frequency ratings. This substitute provides direct compatibility with equivalent performance characteristics.

Pomona Electronics 2455 functions as a similar substitute with N Type 50 ohm female socket configuration. This part operates within the same temperature range and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The voltage rating is reduced to 1000 V compared to the primary part's 1500 V specification. Frequency maximum and insertion loss specifications are not provided for this part. This substitute is suitable for applications where the 1000 V rating is acceptable.

Huber+Suhner 23_N-50-0-1/133_NE is a parametric equivalent offering N Type 50 ohm female socket configuration with identical frequency maximum (11 GHz) and operating temperature range. The voltage rating is 1000 V. Dielectric material includes both PFA and PTFE. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Insertion loss is not specified.

Huber+Suhner 23_N-50-0-23/133_NE is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 23_N-50-0-1/133_NE variant. Center contact material is beryllium copper with gold plating. Voltage rating is 1000 V. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating with the highest current inventory level at 2300 units.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with ROHS3 requirements and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 82-97-RFX be used as a direct replacement for the 82-97?

A: Yes. The 82-97-RFX maintains identical electrical specifications including 50 ohm impedance, 11 GHz frequency maximum, 1500 V voltage rating, and -65°C to 165°C operating temperature range. Both parts feature identical mechanical configuration with panel mount flange, threaded fastening, and solder cup termination. The primary difference is center contact material composition and plating, which does not affect functional compatibility in standard RF applications.

Q: What is the voltage rating difference between the primary part and substitute options?

A: The Amphenol RF 82-97 and 82-97-RFX are rated for 1500 V. The Pomona Electronics 2455 and both Huber+Suhner variants (23_N-50-0-1/133_NE and 23_N-50-0-23/133_NE) are rated for 1000 V. Applications requiring operation above 1000 V must use the Amphenol RF parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the primary Amphenol RF 82-97 specification.

Q: What is the difference between the two Huber+Suhner variants?

A: Both 23_N-50-0-1/133_NE and 23_N-50-0-23/133_NE maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is center contact material: the 23_N-50-0-1/133_NE uses bronze material while the 23_N-50-0-23/133_NE uses beryllium copper. The 23_N-50-0-23/133_NE has higher current inventory availability at 2300 units.

Q: Do all parts support the same frequency range?

A: The Amphenol RF 82-97, 82-97-RFX, and both Huber+Suhner variants support 11 GHz maximum frequency. The Pomona Electronics 2455 does not specify a frequency maximum rating.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all parts?

A: The Amphenol RF 82-97, 82-97-RFX, and both Huber+Suhner variants carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The Pomona Electronics 2455 carries Not Applicable moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Are insertion loss specifications available for all substitute parts?

A: The Amphenol RF 82-97 and 82-97-RFX specify 0.15 dB insertion loss. Insertion loss specifications are not provided for the Pomona Electronics 2455 or either Huber+Suhner variant.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing panel mount applications?

A: Yes. All parts feature identical panel mount configuration with flange mounting feature and threaded fastening type. Mechanical compatibility is maintained across all substitute options for standard panel mount installations.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for each part?

A: The Amphenol RF 82-97, 82-97-RFX, and both Huber+Suhner variants are rated for 500 mating cycles. The Pomona Electronics 2455 does not specify a mating cycle rating.
