CONN012 N Type Coaxial Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CONN012 is an N Type connector plug manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for 50 Ohm coaxial RF applications. This connector features a male pin configuration with right-angle solder termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible RF connectivity solutions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CONN012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: N Type (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin (mandatory match)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (mandatory match)
• Contact Termination: Solder (mandatory match)
• Shield Termination: Crimp (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle (mandatory match)
• Fastening Type: Threaded (mandatory match)
• Frequency - Max: 11 GHz (mandatory match)
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 165°C (mandatory match)
• Mating Cycles: 500 (mandatory match)
• Center Contact Material: Brass (mandatory match)
• Body Material: Brass (mandatory match)
• Center Contact Plating: Gold (mandatory match)
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or compatible (mandatory match)

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore functionally equivalent to CONN012.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are functionally equivalent to CONN012 based on mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection should be based on the following factors:

172219 (Amphenol RF): Active product status with highest inventory availability (1275 pcs). Offers elevated voltage rating (1500 V) and improved insertion loss (0.15 dB) compared to CONN012. RoHS3 compliant. Suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margins and lower signal loss.

16_N-50-7-30/133_NE (Huber+Suhner): Active product status with high inventory (1110 pcs). Supports RG-213 cable group. Voltage rating of 1000 V provides adequate margin over CONN012. Bulk packaging available.

16_N-50-7-53/133_NE (Huber+Suhner): Active product status with available inventory (737 pcs). Supports RG-400 cable group. Voltage rating of 1000 V. Bulk packaging available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 172219 directly replace CONN012 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both connectors meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for N Type 50 Ohm solder-terminated RF applications. The higher voltage rating and lower insertion loss of 172219 provide additional performance margin.

Q: What is the difference between the two Huber+Suhner parts (16_N-50-7-30/133_NE and 16_N-50-7-53/133_NE)? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to CONN012. The primary difference is cable group compatibility: 16_N-50-7-30/133_NE supports RG-213, while 16_N-50-7-53/133_NE supports RG-400. Selection depends on the specific cable type used in your application.

Q: Are there compliance differences between CONN012 and the substitute parts? A: CONN012 is REACH Unaffected. 172219 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. Both Huber+Suhner parts are REACH Unaffected. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Compliance requirements should be evaluated based on your application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: CONN012 packaging is not specified. 172219 is supplied in Bag packaging. Both Huber+Suhner parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the full operating temperature range? A: Yes. All substitute parts support the same operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C) as CONN012.
