Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the POB-LP-85(40) are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

• Impedance Match: 50 Ohms (mandatory for RF system compatibility)
• Cable Compatibility: RG-405 (.085" semi-rigid) specification
• Connector Configuration: Plug with male pin, right-angle orientation
• Termination Method: Solder contact and crimp shield termination
• Frequency Range: Maximum 12.4 GHz operational capability
• Fastening Mechanism: Snap-on attachment system
• Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The POB(M)-LP-85(40) meets all parametric requirements for direct substitution with the POB-LP-85(40), maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The POB(M)-LP-85(40) is the direct parametric equivalent for the POB-LP-85(40). Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 12.4 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical configurations (right-angle solder termination, RG-405 cable compatibility, snap-on fastening).

The primary distinction is product status: the POB-LP-85(40) is designated Last Time Buy, while the POB(M)-LP-85(40) maintains Active status with higher current inventory availability (782 units versus 634 units). For new designs and applications requiring long-term component availability, the POB(M)-LP-85(40) is the appropriate selection. Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the POB(M)-LP-85(40) be used as a direct replacement for the POB-LP-85(40)?

A: Yes. The POB(M)-LP-85(40) is a parametric equivalent with identical impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (12.4 GHz), cable compatibility (RG-405), termination method (solder/crimp), and mounting configuration (right-angle, snap-on). No circuit modifications or mechanical adaptations are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The POB-LP-85(40) is Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production. The POB(M)-LP-85(40) is Active, meaning it remains in current production with ongoing availability. For applications requiring component replenishment beyond existing inventory, the Active part number ensures supply continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors are specified for RG-405 (.085" semi-rigid) cable. This specification defines the mechanical and electrical interface for proper mating and impedance matching.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating?

A: Both parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, establishing the expected mechanical durability for connection and disconnection operations.
