Amphenol RF 901-9221-1ASF SMA Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol RF 901-9221-1ASF is an SMA connector plug with male pin configuration, 50 ohm impedance, and right angle solder termination for RG-402 semi-rigid cable applications. This component is classified as obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for applications requiring SMA plug connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 901-9221-1ASF are grouped based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters: connector style (SMA), connector type (plug with male pin), impedance (50 ohms), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line right angle), cable group compatibility (RG-402 semi-rigid), fastening type (threaded), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The 901-9221-1A is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent with active product status. The 132112SS is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent with active product status. The 228626-1 is classified as a similar part with active product status and military series designation.

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching impedance, connector geometry, cable compatibility, and environmental operating parameters. Contact termination method and center contact material variations are noted but do not preclude substitution where electrical performance remains equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 901-9221-1A is the primary substitute for the obsolete 901-9221-1ASF. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol RF and share identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected). The 901-9221-1A maintains active product status with 643 units in stock.

The 132112SS is an active Amphenol RF alternative with identical core specifications. This part is available with 1092 units in stock and maintains the same operating temperature range and impedance characteristics. The center contact material differs (brass versus beryllium copper), and body finish specification is not provided; however, electrical performance remains equivalent for 50 ohm applications.

The 228626-1 is manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine and carries military series designation (MIL-PRF-39012). This part maintains SMA plug configuration, 50 ohm impedance, and RG-402 cable compatibility. The operating temperature range is limited to -65°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the main part specification. Shield termination is crimp rather than solder. This part is suitable for applications where the reduced temperature range is acceptable and crimp termination is compatible with system design.

Selection between active substitutes should be based on procurement availability, compliance requirements for specific applications, and termination method compatibility with existing assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 901-9221-1A be used as a direct replacement for the 901-9221-1ASF?

A: Yes. The 901-9221-1A is an active product equivalent manufactured by Amphenol RF with identical SMA connector style, 50 ohm impedance, right angle mounting configuration, solder termination, RG-402 cable compatibility, and operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status.

Q: What is the difference between the 132112SS and 901-9221-1A?

A: Both parts are Amphenol RF SMA plug connectors with 50 ohm impedance and identical mounting specifications. The 132112SS uses brass center contact material versus beryllium copper in the 901-9221-1A. The 132112SS housing color is silver, while the 901-9221-1A is gold. Both maintain equivalent electrical performance for 50 ohm applications and identical operating temperature range.

Q: Is the 228626-1 suitable for all applications requiring the 901-9221-1ASF?

A: The 228626-1 is suitable for applications where the operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C is acceptable. The main part specification extends to 165°C. The 228626-1 uses crimp shield termination rather than solder, which may require assembly process modification. The part carries military series designation (MIL-PRF-39012) and is manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 901-9221-1A and 228626-1 are confirmed ROHS3 compliant. The 132112SS RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.
