VCP10-50 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCP10-50 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, supporting RG-142, RG-223, and RG-400 cable groups with a maximum frequency rating of 4 GHz. The connector is classified as Active product status with 697 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative packaging or compliance certifications are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VCP10-50 are qualified based on matching the following critical parameters: BNC connector style, male pin plug type, 50-ohm impedance, crimp termination for both center contact and shield, free hanging in-line mounting, compatibility with RG-142/223/400 cable groups, bayonet lock fastening, 4 GHz maximum frequency, single port configuration, and 500 mating cycles. The substitute parts R141083000 and R141083000W, both manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc., meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Differences in dielectric material (PTFE versus POM), operating temperature range, voltage rating, and packaging format do not preclude substitution when the application requirements fall within the specified operating parameters of the substitute part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both R141083000 and R141083000W qualify as parametric equivalents to the VCP10-50 based on matching core electrical and mechanical specifications. R141083000 is supplied in bulk packaging identical to the original part, while R141083000W is supplied in box packaging. Both substitute parts carry Active product status and are ROHS3 compliant with REACH affected designation, meeting current regulatory requirements. The Radiall parts feature PTFE dielectric material and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C) compared to the VCP10-50 POM dielectric with -55°C to 85°C range. Selection between the three parts should be based on application operating temperature requirements, packaging format needs, and inventory availability. All three parts maintain identical electrical performance at 50 ohms impedance and 4 GHz maximum frequency with 500 mating cycle ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes R141083000 and R141083000W suitable substitutes for VCP10-50?

A: Both Radiall parts match the critical parameters of the VCP10-50: BNC connector style, male pin plug configuration, 50-ohm impedance, crimp termination, free hanging in-line mounting, RG-142/223/400 cable compatibility, bayonet lock fastening, 4 GHz frequency rating, and 500 mating cycles. These parameters define functional equivalence for coaxial connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between R141083000 and R141083000W?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and moisture sensitivity classification. R141083000 is supplied in bulk packaging with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, while R141083000W is supplied in box packaging with MSL Not Applicable. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical.

Q: Can I use the Radiall substitutes in applications requiring the VCP10-50 operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C?

A: Yes. The Radiall substitutes operate across -65°C to 165°C, which encompasses the -55°C to 85°C range of the VCP10-50. Applications within the original temperature specification are fully supported by the substitute parts.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the VCP10-50 and the Radiall substitutes?

A: The Radiall parts (R141083000 and R141083000W) are certified ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The VCP10-50 compliance status is not specified in the provided data. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application before selection.

Q: Does the dielectric material difference (POM versus PTFE) affect substitution suitability?

A: Dielectric material differences do not preclude substitution when application requirements fall within the operating parameters of the substitute part. Both POM and PTFE dielectrics are suitable for 50-ohm RF applications at 4 GHz. Material selection should align with specific application environmental and performance requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on packaging requirements and inventory preferences. R141083000 offers bulk packaging matching the original VCP10-50 format. R141083000W provides box packaging. Both are Active status parts with equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.
