VB2094 BNC Connector Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VB2094 is a BNC connector plug manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions, designed for 50-ohm coaxial RF applications. This male pin connector features a solder cup termination and panel mount configuration with bayonet lock fastening. The component is actively produced and RoHS compliant, with 887 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in RF circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VB2094 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder Cup
• Shield Termination: Solder Tag
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Insertion Loss: 0.2 dB

The identified substitutes (112420 and BNC-BPR-3(40)) meet all core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as dielectric material composition, mating cycle ratings, and included accessories do not affect functional interchangeability in standard RF applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and meet regulatory compliance requirements. The VB2094 carries RoHS compliance certification. Both substitute parts (112420 and BNC-BPR-3(40)) are ROHS3 compliant, indicating alignment with current environmental standards.

Part 112420 (Amphenol RF) provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence with identical insertion loss specification and mating cycle rating. This part is available in higher inventory (6,827 units) and carries REACH compliance documentation.

Part BNC-BPR-3(40) (Hirose) offers enhanced mechanical durability with 1,000 mating cycles compared to the 500-cycle rating of the original part. Operating temperature range matches the VB2094 specification. Insertion loss is not specified for this variant.

Selection between substitutes should be based on supply chain availability, packaging requirements (bulk versus bag), and application-specific durability needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 112420 be used as a direct replacement for VB2094?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 4 GHz maximum frequency, 0.2 dB insertion loss, 500 V rating) and mechanical configuration (BNC plug, solder cup termination, panel mount, bayonet lock). The primary difference is packaging format (bag versus bulk) and manufacturer.

Q: What is the difference between the VB2094 and BNC-BPR-3(40)?

A: The BNC-BPR-3(40) has a higher mating cycle rating (1,000 versus 500) and uses PTFE dielectric material. Insertion loss is not specified for the Hirose part. Both maintain 50-ohm impedance, 4 GHz frequency capability, and -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The VB2094 and BNC-BPR-3(40) are supplied in bulk packaging. Part 112420 is supplied in bag packaging. Included accessories vary slightly: the Amphenol part includes a lockwasher, while the Cinch and Hirose parts do not.

Q: Do all three parts meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: The VB2094 is RoHS compliant. Both substitutes (112420 and BNC-BPR-3(40)) are ROHS3 compliant. Part 112420 additionally carries REACH compliance documentation. All three parts have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-cycle applications?

A: The BNC-BPR-3(40) is rated for 1,000 mating cycles, compared to 500 cycles for the VB2094 and 112420. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended connector life.
