Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of coaxial RF connectors is determined by strict equivalence across core electrical and mechanical parameters. The 962E504 and identified substitute parts share the following critical parameters that establish substitutability:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style: SMA
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact and shield termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Number of ports: 1
• Dielectric material: PTFE

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Board Edge, End Launch
• Mating cycles: 500

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification: EAR99

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in frequency rating, operating temperature range, voltage rating, and body finish do not preclude substitution when the core parameters remain constant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 962E504 (Winchester Interconnect)

The 962E504 is the specified component and should be selected as the primary choice when available. Current inventory status indicates 1088 pieces in stock. This part carries active product status and full RoHS compliance certification.

Substitute Part: 142-0801-801 (Cinch Connectivity Solutions Johnson)

The 142-0801-801 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent suitable for substitution. This part is also active and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status. Current inventory shows 783 pieces available.

Selection Criteria:

Both parts satisfy identical core electrical and mechanical requirements for SMA plug male pin board edge end launch applications at 50 ohm impedance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Compliance certifications required by the end application (RoHS vs. ROHS3)
• Operating temperature range requirements (962E504: -40°C to 65°C; 142-0801-801: -65°C to 165°C)
• Voltage rating requirements (962E504: 500 V; 142-0801-801: 335 V)
• Frequency performance requirements (962E504: 12.5 GHz; 142-0801-801: 18 GHz)

Both parts are suitable for RF applications requiring SMA connectors with solder termination and board edge mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 142-0801-801 be used as a direct replacement for the 962E504?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style (SMA), connector type (plug, male pin), impedance (50 ohms), mounting type (board edge, end launch), termination methods (solder), and fastening type (threaded). They are electrically and mechanically equivalent for standard SMA applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are frequency rating (962E504: 12.5 GHz; 142-0801-801: 18 GHz), operating temperature range (962E504: -40°C to 65°C; 142-0801-801: -65°C to 165°C), voltage rating (962E504: 500 V; 142-0801-801: 335 V), and compliance certifications (RoHS vs. ROHS3). The 142-0801-801 offers extended temperature capability and higher frequency performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 962E504 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 142-0801-801 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with the supplier before ordering.

Q: Which part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The 142-0801-801 supports operating temperatures from -65°C to 165°C, compared to the 962E504 range of -40°C to 65°C. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, the 142-0801-801 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 962E504 is RoHS compliant. The 142-0801-801 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Both meet RoHS requirements; however, the 142-0801-801 carries additional REACH compliance status.

Q: What is the maximum frequency for each part?

A: The 962E504 is rated to 12.5 GHz. The 142-0801-801 is rated to 18 GHz. For applications requiring frequencies above 12.5 GHz, the 142-0801-801 is required.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application requirements do not exceed the operating parameters of the substitute part. Verify that the application's frequency, temperature, and voltage requirements fall within the specifications of the selected part.
