CONSMA024-G-T SMA Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CONSMA024-G-T is an SMA connector jack manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for board edge, cutout surface mount applications. This female socket connector operates at 50 ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 18 GHz. The connector features solder termination for both contact and shield, gold-plated brass housing with phosphor bronze center contact material, and PTFE dielectric. The part maintains active product status and is available in tape and reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in compatible applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CONSMA024-G-T are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style: SMA
• Connector type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Maximum frequency: 18 GHz
• Number of ports: 1

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Board Edge, Cutout; Surface Mount
• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Body material: Brass
• Body finish: Gold
• Dielectric material: PTFE

Environmental & Packaging Parameters:

• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in center contact material, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and mating cycles do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts maintain active product status and are suitable for direct substitution based on equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives may be determined by the following factors:

Compliance Considerations:

• The CONSMA024-G-T carries REACH Unaffected status
• The 0732511143 (Molex) is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected
• The 142-0721-882 (Cinch Connectivity Solutions) is RoHS Compliant
• The 60312202114307 (Würth Elektronik) is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected

Voltage and Temperature Ratings:

• The CONSMA024-G-T provides the highest voltage rating at 750 V with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C
• The 142-0721-882 and 60312202114307 offer extended upper temperature limits to 165°C with lower voltage ratings of 335 V
• The 0732511143 specifies 500 V with unspecified operating temperature range

Inventory Availability:

• CONSMA024-G-T: 825 pieces
• 0732511143: 3056 pieces
• 142-0721-882: 2004 pieces
• 60312202114307: 1086 pieces

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0732511143 (Molex) directly replace the CONSMA024-G-T?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (SMA jack, 50 ohms, 18 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical mounting characteristics (board edge cutout, surface mount, solder termination). The primary difference is the center contact material (beryllium copper versus phosphor bronze) and voltage rating (500 V versus 750 V). Selection depends on application voltage requirements and compliance mandates.

Q: What is the significance of the different center contact materials?

A: The CONSMA024-G-T uses phosphor bronze while the substitute parts use beryllium copper. Both materials are suitable for RF connector applications and maintain the required electrical performance at 50 ohms impedance and 18 GHz frequency. Material selection does not affect substitution eligibility when all other parameters align.

Q: Are there temperature range differences that affect substitution?

A: The CONSMA024-G-T operates from -55°C to 155°C. The 142-0721-882 and 60312202114307 extend the upper limit to 165°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 165°C must verify compatibility with the specific part's temperature rating. For applications within the -55°C to 155°C range, all parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: How do voltage ratings impact part selection?

A: The CONSMA024-G-T is rated for 750 V, while the 142-0721-882 and 60312202114307 are rated for 335 V, and the 0732511143 for 500 V. Applications requiring voltage handling above 335 V should select parts with appropriate voltage ratings. For applications below 335 V, all parts are suitable.

Q: Does packaging format differ among these parts?

A: All four parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited). No packaging conversion or special handling differences apply.

Q: What compliance certifications should be considered?

A: The CONSMA024-G-T is REACH Unaffected. The 0732511143 and 60312202114307 are REACH Affected and ROHS3 Compliant. The 142-0721-882 is RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to specific regulatory requirements should verify compliance status against project specifications.

Q: Are mating cycle ratings equivalent?

A: The CONSMA024-G-T, 142-0721-882, and 60312202114307 all specify 500 mating cycles. The 0732511143 does not specify mating cycles. For applications with defined mating cycle requirements, parts with specified ratings of 500 cycles provide documented performance data.
