BA-2510 F Coaxial Connector Adapter - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BA-2510 is an F-series coaxial connector adapter manufactured by CUI Devices, designed to convert F Plug (male pin) connections to F Jack (female socket) connections in a straight, free-hanging configuration. This adapter is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement. The adapter maintains the same series conversion (F to F) with consistent center gender conversion (female to male), ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within F-series RF applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BA-2510 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Adapter Type: Plug to Jack conversion
• Adapter Series: F to F (same series connection)
• Center Gender: Female to Male conversion
• Convert From: F Plug, Male Pin
• Convert To: F Jack, Female Socket
• Style: Straight configuration
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

The Pomona Electronics part number 6713 meets all these criteria, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. Additional parameters such as impedance specification, frequency rating, and material composition are provided for the substitute but do not disqualify it from equivalence when the primary conversion parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BA-2510 is classified as obsolete, necessitating transition to an active equivalent part for new procurement and long-term system support. The Pomona Electronics 6713 provides functional equivalence across all critical adapter parameters: identical F-to-F series conversion, matching center gender conversion, and equivalent straight, free-hanging mounting configuration.

Both parts maintain compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations and share the same ECCN classification (EAR99), ensuring regulatory consistency. The 6713 is currently in active production status with 1013 units available in inventory, providing supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete BA-2510.

The primary difference between the parts is the fastening type on the jack end: the BA-2510 uses threaded fastening on both ends, while the 6713 uses snap-on fastening on the plug end and threaded fastening on the jack end. This difference does not affect functional equivalence for standard F-series coaxial applications but should be evaluated within the specific mechanical constraints of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Pomona Electronics 6713 directly replace the CUI Devices BA-2510?

A: Yes. Both parts perform identical F Plug to F Jack conversion with matching center gender conversion (female to male), straight configuration, and free-hanging mounting. The functional adapter parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference?

A: The BA-2510 uses threaded fastening on both the plug and jack ends, while the 6713 uses snap-on fastening on the plug end and threaded fastening on the jack end. Both configurations provide secure mechanical connection in F-series applications. The choice between them depends on the specific mating connector types and mechanical assembly requirements of the target system.

Q: Are there impedance or frequency considerations for substitution?

A: The BA-2510 does not specify impedance or maximum frequency in its documentation. The 6713 specifies 75 Ohms impedance and 500 MHz maximum frequency. These specifications in the 6713 do not prevent substitution; they provide additional performance data for applications requiring impedance or frequency verification.

Q: What is the difference in product status between these parts?

A: The BA-2510 is obsolete and no longer manufactured by CUI Devices. The 6713 is active and currently in production by Pomona Electronics, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the BA-2510 and 6713 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The 6713 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Both share the same ECCN classification (EAR99).
