CONSMA005 SMA Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CONSMA005 is an SMA connector receptacle manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for 50-ohm RF applications requiring panel-mount solder termination. This component is classified as active and in full production status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when organizations require alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within defined parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CONSMA005 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style (SMA)
• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Socket)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Contact termination method (Solder)
• Shield termination method (Crimp)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Bulkhead - Front Side Nut)
• Frequency maximum rating (12.4 GHz or higher)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C or wider)
• Mating cycle rating (500 or higher)

Identified Substitutes:

CONSMA014-R178 (TE Connectivity Linx) - Parametric Equivalent: Matches all primary compatibility parameters. Differs in cable group specification (RG-178 versus RG-174) and includes expanded accessory kit. Voltage rating reduced to 250 V.

901-9610-3SF (Amphenol RF) - Similar Substitute: Matches all primary compatibility parameters. Differs in connector type terminology (Jack versus Receptacle), body material (Stainless Steel versus Brass), and includes weatherproof ingress protection. Voltage rating increased to 375 V. Supports expanded cable group compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CONSMA005 (Primary Selection) Active product status with full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected classification. Suitable for standard 50-ohm SMA panel-mount applications within specified electrical and thermal parameters.

CONSMA014-R178 (Parametric Equivalent) Active product status with full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected classification. Identical electrical and mechanical compatibility to CONSMA005. Selection appropriate when RG-178 cable group compatibility is required or when expanded accessory kit inclusion is beneficial. Voltage rating of 250 V is suitable for applications not exceeding this specification.

901-9610-3SF (Similar Substitute) Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected classification. Electrical and mechanical compatibility maintained across all primary parameters. Selection appropriate for applications requiring weatherproof ingress protection or stainless steel body construction. Higher voltage rating of 375 V provides additional margin for high-voltage applications. REACH affected status requires compliance verification for regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CONSMA014-R178 be used as a direct replacement for CONSMA005? A: CONSMA014-R178 maintains all primary electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters with CONSMA005. The primary difference is cable group specification (RG-178 versus RG-174). Selection depends on cable compatibility requirements for the specific application.

Q: What is the difference between "Receptacle" and "Jack" terminology in SMA connectors? A: Both CONSMA005 (Receptacle) and 901-9610-3SF (Jack) are female socket connectors with identical mating characteristics and 50-ohm impedance. Terminology differences reflect manufacturer conventions and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Is 901-9610-3SF suitable for applications requiring REACH compliance? A: 901-9610-3SF carries REACH affected status, requiring verification against specific regulatory requirements for the intended market and application. CONSMA005 and CONSMA014-R178 are REACH unaffected.

Q: What are the voltage rating differences between these parts? A: CONSMA005 is rated at 335 V, CONSMA014-R178 at 250 V, and 901-9610-3SF at 375 V. Selection should be based on application voltage requirements. All three parts support the same frequency and impedance specifications.

Q: Does the accessory kit inclusion in CONSMA014-R178 affect compatibility? A: The expanded accessory kit (connector, contact, gasket, heat shrink, lockwasher, nut, spacer, support) in CONSMA014-R178 provides additional components for assembly. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility with applications designed for CONSMA005.

Q: What is the significance of weatherproof ingress protection in 901-9610-3SF? A: The weatherproof ingress protection rating in 901-9610-3SF provides enhanced environmental sealing compared to CONSMA005 and CONSMA014-R178. Selection should be based on application environmental exposure requirements.
