BA-2560 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BA-2560 is an F-series coaxial adapter connector manufactured by CUI Devices, designed to convert F Plug (male pin) to F Jack (female socket) configurations in right-angle mounting applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where F-series coaxial connectivity is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BA-2560 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Adapter Configuration: F Plug to F Jack conversion (same series F-to-F)
• Center Gender Conversion: Female to Male pin configuration
• Mounting Style: Right angle orientation with free-hanging (in-line) capability
• Fastening Mechanism: Threaded connection on both ends
• Connector Type: Coaxial RF adapter classification

The substitute part 5-1634537-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) satisfies all these core functional requirements, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5-1634537-1 substitute part is suitable for BA-2560 replacement applications based on the following factors:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical adapter configuration, connector series, and mounting specifications ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.
• Active Product Status: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete BA-2560.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet RoHS requirements (ROHS3 for the substitute represents enhanced compliance). Both carry EAR99 classification with identical ECCN designation.
• Moisture Sensitivity: Matching MSL 1 rating confirms equivalent environmental performance characteristics.
• Material Specification: The substitute provides documented material composition (brass body with nickel finish, POM acetal dielectric), offering transparency in construction quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-1634537-1 directly replace BA-2560 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical F-to-F adapter configuration, center gender conversion (female to male), right-angle mounting style, and threaded fastening specifications. No mechanical or electrical modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for seeking a substitute?

A: The BA-2560 is classified as obsolete. The 5-1634537-1 is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring availability for replacement and new applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 5-1634537-1 carries ROHS3 designation, representing current regulatory compliance standards. Both maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and identical MSL 1 ratings.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The BA-2560 is supplied in unspecified packaging with 933 units in stock. The 5-1634537-1 is supplied in bulk packaging with 2410 units available. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are material specifications critical for substitution?

A: The 5-1634537-1 provides documented material specifications (brass body, nickel finish, POM acetal dielectric). These materials are standard for F-series coaxial adapters and do not introduce compatibility issues with the BA-2560 interface requirements.
