CONN005 N Type Coaxial Connector Receptacle - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CONN005 is an N Type coaxial connector receptacle manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications with panel mount configuration. This connector features a female socket with solder termination for the center contact and crimp termination for the shield. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in legacy applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CONN005 is determined by strict equivalence in the following core parameters:

  • Connector Style & Type: N Type receptacle, female socket configuration
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms (RF characteristic impedance requirement)
  • Mounting Configuration: Panel mount with bulkhead front side nut fastening
  • Electrical Performance: Operating temperature range, voltage rating, and mating cycle capability
  • Termination Compatibility: Center contact and shield termination methods must support the intended application

The substitute part 172313 (Amphenol RF) meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility for panel mount N Type 50 Ohm receptacle applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 172313 (Amphenol RF) serves as a functional substitute for the obsolete CONN005 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical N Type receptacle configuration with panel mount bulkhead front side nut mounting, ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability in panel applications.

Electrical Equivalence: Both maintain 50 Ohm impedance and identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C), supporting equivalent RF performance in legacy system applications.

Termination Flexibility: The 172313 supports both crimp and solder contact termination, providing compatibility with existing solder-based assembly processes while offering additional termination options.

Regulatory Compliance: The 172313 is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and compliance with current environmental regulations.

Frequency Consideration: The CONN005 specifies 11 GHz maximum frequency while the 172313 specifies 6 GHz maximum frequency. Applications operating above 6 GHz require verification that the 172313 meets system frequency requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 172313 directly replace the CONN005 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, for applications operating at or below 6 GHz. Both connectors share identical N Type receptacle configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, panel mount bulkhead mounting, and operating temperature range. The 172313 supports solder termination, matching the CONN005 termination method.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The maximum frequency specification differs: CONN005 operates to 11 GHz while 172313 operates to 6 GHz. For applications requiring operation above 6 GHz, the frequency limitation of the 172313 must be evaluated against system requirements.

Q: Does the 172313 support the same termination methods as the CONN005?

A: The CONN005 specifies solder termination for the center contact. The 172313 supports both crimp and solder termination, providing equivalent solder capability plus additional flexibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The CONN005 packaging is not specified in available data. The 172313 is supplied in bag packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your application.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 172313?

A: The 172313 is ROHS3 compliant and carries REACH Affected status. The CONN005 is REACH Unaffected. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: Is the 172313 currently available?

A: Yes, the 172313 carries active product status with 1075 pieces in stock, ensuring availability for new orders and replacement applications.
