Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CPL9CFF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Adapter Type: Jack to Jack
• Adapter Series: UHF to UHF
• Center Gender: Female to Female
• Style: Straight
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded, Threaded
• Conversion Type: Same Series

The Amphenol RF model 83-1J satisfies all mandatory matching parameters, establishing functional equivalence for UHF jack-to-jack adapter applications. Both parts provide identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for female socket-to-female socket UHF connections.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol RF 83-1J serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity Laird CPL9CFF. Selection of the 83-1J is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The 83-1J maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The CPL9CFF obsolete classification necessitates transition to an alternative source.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence. The 83-1J carries RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental standards.

Mechanical and Electrical Interface: Complete parameter alignment across adapter type, series, gender configuration, style, mounting, and fastening specifications confirms direct substitution capability without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Inventory Availability: The 83-1J is available in active inventory (1042 pcs), providing immediate procurement capability compared to the obsolete CPL9CFF (1096 pcs remaining stock).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol RF 83-1J directly replace the TE Connectivity Laird CPL9CFF without modification?

A: Yes. Both adapters share identical specifications for adapter type (jack-to-jack), series (UHF-to-UHF), center gender (female-to-female), style (straight), mounting type (free hanging), and fastening type (threaded). No circuit or mechanical modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?
