UPL2000-D7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPL2000-D7 is a BNC connector plug manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Trompeter, designed for 75-ohm coaxial cable applications. This male pin connector features crimp termination for both contact and shield, supporting frequencies up to 4 GHz with a bayonet lock fastening mechanism. The part is currently in active production status with 884 units in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply constraints, or when design requirements allow for alternative manufacturers meeting equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPL2000-D7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Must be BNC plug with male pin configuration
• Impedance: Must maintain 75-ohm specification
• Termination Method: Both contact and shield must use crimp termination
• Mounting Configuration: Must support free hanging (in-line) installation
• Fastening Mechanism: Must use bayonet lock
• Frequency Rating: Must support minimum 4 GHz operation
• Voltage Rating: Must meet or exceed 500 V specification
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The substitute part 031-80101 (Amphenol RF) meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct functional replacement in applications requiring BNC 75-ohm crimp connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPL2000-D7 is the preferred selection for new designs due to its active production status. The part maintains full ROHS3 and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

The 031-80101 substitute from Amphenol RF provides functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it is suitable only for legacy system support, field replacements, or applications where existing inventory must be maintained. The substitute demonstrates superior operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and includes documented mating cycle capability (500 cycles) and insertion loss specification (0.2 dB), though these enhanced specifications do not alter substitution eligibility.

Both parts maintain identical impedance, frequency rating, voltage specification, and termination methods, confirming direct functional interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 031-80101 be used as a direct replacement for the UPL2000-D7?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet identical specifications for BNC 75-ohm crimp termination, bayonet lock fastening, 4 GHz frequency rating, and 500 V voltage rating. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: Why is the 031-80101 marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature or declining production status. For new product development, the UPL2000-D7 is recommended to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturing support.

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

A: The 031-80101 supports an expanded cable group specification (RG-179, 179A, 179B, 187, 187A, Belden 9221, M17/94-RG179) compared to the UPL2000-D7 (RG-179, Belden 9221). Both connectors are compatible with RG-179 and Belden 9221 cables, the primary cable types for 75-ohm BNC applications.

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The UPL2000-D7 is supplied as individual connectors in bulk packaging. The 031-80101 includes a kit with three components: one connector, one contact, and one ferrule, providing additional assembly flexibility for field applications.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the UPL2000-D7 and 031-80101 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component distribution and use.
