SMA Connector Jack 901-9204-CC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 901-9204-CC is an SMA connector jack (female socket) rated for 50 ohms impedance with panel mount solder termination. This component is designed for RF coaxial applications requiring threaded fastening and extended frequency operation up to 12.4 GHz. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when primary inventory is unavailable or when procurement requirements necessitate qualified alternatives meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 901-9204-CC are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector style: SMA
• Connector type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency maximum: 12.4 GHz
• Dielectric material: PTFE
• Center contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 165°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Solder
• Mounting type: Panel Mount
• Mounting feature: Flange
• Fastening type: Threaded

The substitute part 32K449-500L5 (Rosenberger) meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. Variations in body material (Brass vs. Stainless Steel) and mating cycle ratings do not affect functional equivalence for standard RF coaxial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 901-9204-CC and 32K449-500L5 are Active status components with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance certification. Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements rather than functional capability.

The 901-9204-CC (Amphenol RF) features a stainless steel body with 500 mating cycles rating, suitable for applications requiring extended connector lifecycle.

The 32K449-500L5 (Rosenberger) features a brass body with 100 mating cycles rating and includes a voltage rating specification of 480 V. This part is functionally equivalent for RF coaxial applications within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the 12.4 GHz frequency range and identical operating temperature specifications. Component selection should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and established supplier qualification protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 901-9204-CC and 32K449-500L5 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are SMA jack connectors with 50 ohm impedance, PTFE dielectric, beryllium copper center contacts, and identical frequency and temperature specifications. They are electrically equivalent for RF coaxial applications.

Q: What is the difference in body material between these parts?

A: The 901-9204-CC uses stainless steel body material, while the 32K449-500L5 uses brass body material. Both materials are compatible with gold plating and do not affect RF performance within the specified frequency range.

Q: Do the different mating cycle ratings affect compatibility?

A: The mating cycle rating indicates connector lifecycle durability. The 901-9204-CC is rated for 500 cycles, while the 32K449-500L5 is rated for 100 cycles. For applications with infrequent connector mating, both parts are suitable. Applications requiring frequent connection/disconnection should prioritize the higher cycle rating.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 901-9204-CC and 32K449-500L5 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What does the MSL 1 rating mean?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Both parts carry this rating.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 165°C, suitable for industrial and aerospace RF applications within this temperature range.

Q: Are solder terminations the only option for these parts?

A: Based on the provided specifications, both the 901-9204-CC and 32K449-500L5 feature solder termination for both contact and shield. This is the specified termination method for these part numbers.
