PL220-003 BNC Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL220-003 is a BNC connector plug manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Trompeter, designed for 50-ohm coaxial cable applications. This male pin connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, supporting RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 cable groups with a maximum frequency rating of 4 GHz. The part is currently active in production with 1133 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PL220-003 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Parameters:

Connector style (BNC)
Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
Impedance (50 Ohms)
Frequency maximum rating (4 GHz)
Voltage rating (500 V)

Mechanical Parameters:

Contact termination method (Crimp)
Shield termination method (Crimp)
Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
Cable group compatibility (RG-174, 188, 316)
Fastening type (Bayonet Lock)

Environmental Parameters:

Operating temperature range
RoHS compliance status

The identified substitute parts (11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE and CPM8819) meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in body material, body finish, dielectric material composition, and included accessories do not affect functional equivalence for standard coaxial connector applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are active products with RoHS compliance certification, suitable for direct substitution in standard 50-ohm coaxial connector applications. The PL220-003 and 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE share identical operating temperature ranges (-65°C ~ 165°C), providing the widest thermal operating window. The CPM8819 operates within a narrower temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) and should be selected only when application requirements fall within this specification.

All parts maintain equivalent electrical performance at 4 GHz maximum frequency and 500 V voltage rating. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and specific thermal environment constraints of the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CPM8819 be used as a direct replacement for PL220-003 in all applications?

A: CPM8819 is functionally equivalent for applications operating within -55°C to 85°C. For applications requiring the full -65°C to 165°C operating range, use PL220-003 or 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE.

Q: Are there differences in cable compatibility between these parts?

A: All three parts support identical cable groups: RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316. No cable compatibility restrictions exist between substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of different body materials and finishes?

A: Body material (Brass vs. Zinc) and finish variations (Nickel vs. White Bronze) do not affect electrical performance or mechanical interface compatibility. These are manufacturing variations that do not impact functional equivalence.

Q: Do the included accessories differ between parts?

A: Yes. PL220-003 includes 3 pieces (1 Connector, 1 Contact, 1 Sleeve), while CPM8819 includes 4 pieces (1 Connector, 1 Bushing, 1 Contact, 1 Insert). 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE does not specify included accessories. Verify accessory requirements for your specific assembly process.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. PL220-003 and CPM8819 are RoHS Compliant. 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE is ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating difference?

A: PL220-003 does not specify mating cycles. Both 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE and CPM8819 are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating robust mechanical durability for repeated connection/disconnection operations.
