VB10-2053 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VB10-2053 is a BNC connector plug manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions, designed for 50-ohm coaxial cable applications. This male pin connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, operates across a frequency range up to 4 GHz, and is rated for 500 volts. The connector is actively produced and maintained in inventory, with RoHS compliance certification. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VB10-2053 are qualified based on strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Body Material: Brass
• Body Finish: Nickel
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Housing Color: Silver
• Number of Ports: 1
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts (112700 and RFB-1106-C2T) meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in cable group compatibility, center contact material composition, and packaging format do not affect functional interchangeability in standard 50-ohm BNC applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VB10-2053, 112700, and RFB-1106-C2T—are active products with current manufacturing status. The VB10-2053 and RFB-1106-C2T are both RoHS Compliant, while the 112700 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification with additional REACH Affected status. All parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for 50-ohm BNC crimp connector applications at frequencies up to 4 GHz.

The 112700 (Amphenol RF) features beryllium copper center contact material and supports the LMR-300 cable group, offering enhanced contact durability in high-cycle applications. The RFB-1106-C2T (RF Industries) maintains brass center contact material consistent with the original VB10-2053 and supports the LMR-200 cable group. Selection between these substitutes depends on cable compatibility requirements and contact material performance specifications for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 112700 (Amphenol RF) be used as a direct replacement for the VB10-2053?

A: The 112700 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for functional interchangeability. The primary difference is the center contact material (beryllium copper versus brass) and cable group compatibility (LMR-300 versus LMR-200). Verify cable group compatibility with your specific application before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the VB10-2053 and RFB-1106-C2T?

A: Both connectors share identical electrical specifications, impedance, frequency rating, and termination method. The RFB-1106-C2T maintains the same center contact material (brass) and cable group (LMR-200) as the VB10-2053. The primary difference is manufacturer and packaging format (bag versus bulk).

Q: Are there compliance differences between these three parts?

A: The VB10-2053 and RFB-1106-C2T carry RoHS Compliant certification. The 112700 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and is REACH Affected. All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. Verify compliance requirements for your specific regulatory environment.

Q: What does the cable group designation mean?

A: Cable group indicates the recommended coaxial cable type for optimal performance. The VB10-2053 and RFB-1106-C2T support LMR-200 cables, while the 112700 supports LMR-300 cables. Ensure the selected connector matches your cable specification.

Q: Can insertion loss vary between these substitute parts?

A: The VB10-2053 and 112700 both specify 0.2 dB insertion loss. The RFB-1106-C2T does not provide insertion loss specification in the available data. Contact the manufacturer for insertion loss confirmation if this parameter is critical for your application.

Q: Are mating cycle ratings consistent across all three parts?

A: The VB10-2053 and 112700 both specify 500 mating cycles. The RFB-1106-C2T does not provide mating cycle specification in the available data. Verify mating cycle requirements with the manufacturer if this parameter is critical for your application.
