APH-NJ-FP Coaxial Connector Adapter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APH-NJ-FP is a coaxial connector adapter manufactured by Amphenol RF that converts between N Jack (female socket) and F Plug (male pin) configurations. This adapter operates at 50 Ohms impedance and is designed for RF applications requiring series conversion in free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations.

The APH-NJ-FP is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing system maintenance and production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the APH-NJ-FP are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Adapter series configuration (N to F)
• Center gender conversion (Female to Male)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Adapter type (Plug to Jack)
• Style (Straight)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Fastening type (Threaded, Threaded)
• Ingress protection (Waterproof)

Material Specifications:

• Body material (Brass)
• Body finish (Nickel)
• Center contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Center contact plating (Gold)
• Dielectric material (PTFE)

The substitute part 242152 meets all these criteria and provides functional equivalence to the APH-NJ-FP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 242152 is functionally equivalent to the APH-NJ-FP across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance:

APH-NJ-FP Status: Obsolete product with RoHS Compliant certification.

242152 Status: Active product with ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Affected designation.

For new designs and ongoing production, 242152 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and current regulatory compliance. The part maintains identical electrical performance, mechanical configuration, and material specifications as the obsolete APH-NJ-FP.

Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol RF and share the same base product lineage, ensuring design continuity and interchangeability in RF coaxial adapter applications requiring N to F series conversion at 50 Ohms impedance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 242152 be used as a direct replacement for APH-NJ-FP?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical adapter series configuration (N to F), impedance (50 Ohms), center gender conversion (Female to Male), mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line), and material specifications. The primary difference is that 242152 is an active product with current regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between APH-NJ-FP and 242152?

A: APH-NJ-FP is supplied without specified packaging. 242152 is supplied in Bag packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there frequency limitations for these adapters?

A: The substitute part 242152 specifies a maximum frequency of 2 GHz. The main part APH-NJ-FP does not provide frequency specification in the available parameters. Both parts operate at 50 Ohms impedance across their respective frequency ranges.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. APH-NJ-FP is RoHS Compliant. 242152 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts meet RoHS requirements for new applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these adapters?

A: Both APH-NJ-FP and 242152 have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Are these adapters suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

A: Both parts feature waterproof ingress protection and operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 165°C, making them suitable for outdoor and harsh environmental applications.

Q: What materials are used in the center contact?

A: Both adapters use phosphor bronze for the center contact material with gold plating. The body is brass with nickel finish. The dielectric is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
