Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol RF 908-41200 are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector style (MMCX)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Frequency rating (6 GHz maximum)
• Mating cycles (500)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Fastening type (Snap-On)
• Cable group compatibility (RG-178, 178A, 178B, 196, 196A, M17/93-RG178)

Termination Compatibility:

• Contact termination (Solder or Crimp/Solder)
• Shield termination (Crimp)

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

Substitute parts must maintain these parameters to ensure functional equivalence in RF circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol RF 262100: This part is a parametric equivalent to the 908-41200. Both components are manufactured by Amphenol RF and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 262100 differs only in packaging (Bag versus unspecified for 908-41200) and base product number designation. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these two Amphenol RF parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson 135-3402-001: This part provides functional equivalence with the following considerations: The contact termination is specified as "Crimp or Solder," providing flexibility beyond the solder-only specification of the 908-41200. The cable group compatibility is narrower (RG-178, 196 versus the broader range of the primary part). The center contact material differs (Beryllium Copper versus Brass). Operating temperature range is specified (-55°C ~ 155°C) and insertion loss is provided (0.1dB). This part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains MSL 1 rating. The 135-3402-001 is suitable for applications where the narrower cable group and alternative contact material are acceptable.

All three parts maintain identical impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (6 GHz), mating cycles (500), and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 262100 be used as a direct replacement for the 908-41200?

A: Yes. The 262100 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only differences are packaging format and base product number. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated for 50-ohm, 6 GHz applications with solder termination.

Q: What are the key differences between the Cinch Connectivity 135-3402-001 and the Amphenol RF 908-41200?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Contact termination is Crimp or Solder on the 135-3402-001 versus Solder-only on the 908-41200; (2) Cable group compatibility is RG-178, 196 on the 135-3402-001 versus RG-178, 178A, 178B, 196, 196A, M17/93-RG178 on the 908-41200; (3) Center contact material is Beryllium Copper on the 135-3402-001 versus Brass on the 908-41200; (4) Operating temperature range is specified on the 135-3402-001 (-55°C ~ 155°C) but not provided for the 908-41200; (5) Insertion loss is specified on the 135-3402-001 (0.1dB) but not provided for the 908-41200.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same cable types?

A: The Amphenol RF 908-41200 and 262100 support the full cable group: RG-178, 178A, 178B, 196, 196A, M17/93-RG178. The Cinch Connectivity 135-3402-001 supports RG-178 and RG-196 only. Verify cable compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between these parts?

A: The 908-41200 and 262100 use Brass center contacts, while the 135-3402-001 uses Beryllium Copper. Both materials are suitable for RF applications and maintain the 50-ohm impedance specification. Material selection may affect mechanical durability and contact resistance characteristics, but both are compliant with the electrical requirements.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected, classified as EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4010). All maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can the 135-3402-001 be used in applications requiring solder termination only?

A: Yes. The 135-3402-001 supports both Crimp and Solder termination methods. It is suitable for solder-only applications, providing additional flexibility compared to the solder-only specification of the 908-41200.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The 908-41200 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 262100 is supplied in Bag packaging. The 135-3402-001 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.
