Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PA9678 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Architecture: F Type connector style with male pin configuration ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard F Type receptacles and cable assemblies.

Installation Method: Free hanging (in-line) mounting type maintains identical form factor and installation methodology.

Cable Compatibility: RG-6 Quad cable group specification ensures proper impedance matching and signal integrity for the intended application.

Termination Method: Crimp shield termination and threaded fastening type provide equivalent mechanical assembly and environmental sealing characteristics.

Physical Construction: Brass body with nickel finish maintains corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity equivalent to the original component.

Environmental Classification: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage or installation.

The substitute part 25-7034 manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions AIM-Cambridge satisfies all these critical parameters while offering active product status and enhanced compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 25-7034 from Cinch Connectivity Solutions AIM-Cambridge is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete PA9678. Both components share identical connector architecture, mounting methodology, cable compatibility, and physical construction specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The PA9678 is classified as obsolete, while the 25-7034 maintains active product status. Active status ensures continued manufacturing availability, supply chain reliability, and manufacturer technical support.

Compliance Enhancement: The 25-7034 provides ROHS3 compliance certification, exceeding the "not applicable" status of the PA9678. This compliance status is advantageous for applications subject to environmental regulations and procurement standards requiring RoHS certification.

Regulatory Alignment: Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications, ensuring equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Performance Specifications: The 25-7034 provides documented electrical specifications including 75 Ohms impedance, 750 MHz maximum frequency, 500 V voltage rating, and 100 mating cycles, offering quantified performance parameters for system design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 25-7034 directly replace the PA9678 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector style (F Type), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), cable group (RG-6 Quad), shield termination (Crimp), fastening type (Threaded), body material (Brass), body finish (Nickel), and housing color (Silver).
