APH-SMAP-NP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The APH-SMAP-NP is a coaxial adapter connector manufactured by Amphenol RF, designed to convert between SMA Plug (Male Pin) and N Plug (Male Pin) 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-NP is classified as Obsolete. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for system integration, maintenance, and replacement applications where this connector type is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 242114 be used as a direct replacement for APH-SMAP-NP?

A: Yes. Part 242114 is a direct equivalent. All electrical parameters (impedance, frequency rating, operating temperature), mechanical parameters (adapter type, connector genders, fastening type, mounting style), and material specifications (body material, plating, dielectric) are identical.

Q: What is the difference between APH-SMAP-NP and 242114?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. APH-SMAP-NP is Obsolete with RoHS Compliant status, while 242114 is Active with ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected status. Packaging differs: APH-SMAP-NP has unspecified packaging, while 242114 is supplied in Bag format.

Q: Are there any frequency or impedance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 11 GHz. Operating temperature range is identical at -65°C to 165°C.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The Bag packaging of 242114 is standard for component distribution and does not impact adapter performance or mating characteristics.

Q: Is 242114 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. Part 242114 is classified as Active and meets current regulatory standards (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected), making it suitable for new design implementations requiring SMA Plug to N Plug adapter functionality.

Q: What are the connector genders for both parts?

A: Both APH-SMAP-NP and 242114 feature Male to Male center gender configuration, converting from SMA Plug (Male Pin) to N Plug (Male Pin).
