Winchester Interconnect F0884 Coaxial Terminator Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Winchester Interconnect F0884 is an F Type coaxial terminator plug connector designed for 75 Ohm RF applications. This male pin terminator connector is used to terminate unused ports in coaxial cable systems, preventing signal reflections and maintaining system impedance integrity. The part is currently in active production status with 855 units available in new original inventory.

Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific packaging requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Winchester Interconnect F0884 is permissible with the Amphenol RF part number 222154 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: F Type
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 75 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging, Cap
• Product Status: Active (both parts in active production)
• Regulatory Compliance: Both RoHS compliant and EAR99 classified

Substitution Logic: Both the F0884 and 222154 are F Type 75 Ohm terminator plugs with identical connector geometry, impedance characteristics, and mounting configuration. The parts are functionally interchangeable in 75 Ohm coaxial termination applications. Differences in body material, contact material, and contact finish do not affect the core termination function when used within specified electrical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Winchester F0884): The Winchester Interconnect F0884 is the specified part and should be selected as the primary choice when available. It maintains active production status and full RoHS compliance. Current inventory of 855 units supports immediate procurement requirements.

Substitute Selection (Amphenol RF 222154): The Amphenol RF 222154 is an approved substitute when Winchester F0884 availability is constrained. This part meets all functional requirements for 75 Ohm F Type termination applications. The 222154 carries ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the primary part. Current inventory of 928 units provides alternative supply assurance. The part is supplied in Bag packaging format.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are classified as EAR99 and carry identical HTSUS codes, confirming regulatory equivalence. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, indicating no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard component practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Amphenol RF 222154 be used as a direct replacement for Winchester F0884?

A: Yes. Both parts are F Type 75 Ohm terminator plugs with identical connector geometry, impedance, and mounting configuration. They are functionally equivalent for coaxial termination applications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No electrical performance differences exist within the specified parameters. Both parts are rated for 75 Ohm impedance and F Type connector applications. The Amphenol RF 222154 specifies a maximum frequency of 3 GHz, which is not provided for the Winchester F0884 but does not indicate a limitation on the primary part.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The Winchester F0884 packaging format is not specified in the available data. The Amphenol RF 222154 is supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance and are relevant only for inventory management and handling procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Winchester F0884 is RoHS Compliant. The Amphenol RF 222154 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent compliance standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special dry storage or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are these parts subject to export restrictions?

A: Both parts are classified as EAR99, which is the standard classification for most commercial electronic components and does not impose additional export restrictions beyond standard commerce regulations.
