VCP10-71 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCP10-71 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-174, RG-188, and RG-316 cable groups with a maximum frequency rating of 4 GHz. The connector is classified as Active product status with 987 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 inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VCP10-71 are qualified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector Style: BNC
Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
Impedance: 50 Ohms
Contact Termination: Crimp
Shield Termination: Crimp
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
Cable Group: RG-174, 188, 316
Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
Number of Ports: 1
Mating Cycles: 500
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE from Huber+Suhner, Inc., and the CPM8819 from Cinch Connectivity Solutions AIM-Cambridge. Both parts maintain electrical compatibility through identical impedance, frequency rating, and termination methods. Both support the same cable groups and fastening mechanism. Mechanical compatibility is ensured through matching connector style, type, and mounting configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VCP10-71, 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE, and CPM8819—maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. Selection between these parts should be based on the following considerations:

The VCP10-71 provides the widest operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C) and includes documented insertion loss specification (0.20 dB), making it the primary choice for applications requiring extended temperature performance or where insertion loss is a critical design parameter.

The 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE from Huber+Suhner maintains the same operating temperature range as the VCP10-71 and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, suitable for applications with regulatory requirements. This part is REACH Unaffected, providing additional compliance documentation.

The CPM8819 operates within a narrower temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) and includes RoHS compliance certification. This part is suitable for standard industrial applications where the reduced temperature range is acceptable. Current inventory for CPM8819 is 1292 units, providing the highest stock availability among the three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CPM8819 be used as a direct replacement for VCP10-71 in all applications?

A: CPM8819 is electrically and mechanically compatible with VCP10-71 for applications operating within the -55°C to 85°C temperature range. Applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 85°C must use VCP10-71 or 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range and compliance certifications. VCP10-71 and 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE both support -65°C to 165°C operation. The 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE carries ROHS3 and REACH documentation. CPM8819 operates at -55°C to 85°C with RoHS compliance.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 cables?

A: Yes. All three parts support the same cable groups: RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316, with identical crimp termination methods for both center contact and shield.

Q: Does insertion loss differ between these connectors?

A: VCP10-71 specifies 0.20 dB insertion loss. Insertion loss values are not provided for 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE or CPM8819 in the available documentation.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: VCP10-71 and 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE both support operation to 165°C. CPM8819 is limited to 85°C maximum operating temperature and is not suitable for high-temperature applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the parts?

A: 11_BNC-50-2-13/133_NE carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. CPM8819 carries RoHS compliance. VCP10-71 compliance documentation is not specified in the provided parameters.
