APH-SMAP-NJ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APH-SMAP-NJ is a coaxial adapter connector manufactured by Amphenol RF that converts between SMA Plug (Male Pin) and N Jack (Female Socket) configurations. This adapter operates at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 11 GHz and supports an operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C.

The APH-SMAP-NJ carries an Obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for applications requiring this specific SMA-to-N adapter configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the APH-SMAP-NJ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Adapter Configuration: The substitute part must maintain identical SMA Plug to N Jack conversion with matching center gender (Female to Male).

Electrical Specifications: The substitute must operate at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 11 GHz or greater.

Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute must feature straight style, free hanging (in-line) mounting, and threaded fastening on both ends.

Material and Environmental Specifications: The substitute must use brass body with nickel finish, phosphor bronze center contact with gold plating, and PTFE dielectric material. Operating temperature range must support -65°C to 165°C.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute must maintain RoHS compliance status and MSL 1 rating.

The part 242112 satisfies all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 242112 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete APH-SMAP-NJ. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol RF and share identical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: APH-SMAP-NJ is classified as Obsolete, while 242112 is Active. This status difference makes 242112 the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant respectively) and carry identical regulatory classifications (EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010). The 242112 additionally carries REACH Affected status, indicating compliance with European chemical regulations.

Packaging for 242112 is specified as Bag format, whereas the original part packaging is not documented. This represents a minor logistical difference with no impact on functional performance or electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 242112 be used as a direct replacement for APH-SMAP-NJ in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 242112 is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical specifications (50 Ohms impedance, 11 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical dimensions (straight style, threaded fastening), material composition (brass body with nickel finish, phosphor bronze center contact with gold plating), and environmental ratings (-65°C to 165°C operating temperature) are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant designations?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the directive. Both parts meet the same hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for equivalent applications.

Q: Does the packaging difference (unspecified for APH-SMAP-NJ versus Bag for 242112) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The Bag packaging for 242112 is a standard distribution format for coaxial connectors and does not impact functional equivalence.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same frequency range and impedance applications?

A: Yes. Both APH-SMAP-NJ and 242112 operate at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 11 GHz. They are suitable for identical RF applications within this specification range.

Q: Why is APH-SMAP-NJ marked as Obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The 242112 represents the active equivalent part for continued procurement and new design implementation.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating for both parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts require no special moisture control during storage, handling, or shipping, simplifying logistics and inventory management.
