VDV814-610 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VDV814-610 is a terminator coaxial connector plug manufactured by Klein Tools, Inc., designed for 75-ohm RF applications using the F-type connector standard. This component functions as a load terminator for coaxial cable systems, providing impedance matching at 75 ohms. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VDV814-610 is based on strict equivalence of the following parameters:

• Connector Style: F Type (mechanical interface requirement)
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin (functional orientation)
• Impedance: 75 Ohms (electrical characteristic)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging, Cap (installation method)
• Body Finish: Nickel (corrosion resistance and contact compatibility)

The substitute part 222154 (Amphenol RF) meets all these criteria, establishing functional and mechanical compatibility for direct replacement in 75-ohm coaxial terminator applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 222154 (Amphenol RF) is the direct substitute for the obsolete VDV814-610. Both components share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications: F-type connector style, male pin configuration, 75-ohm impedance, and free-hanging cap mounting. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for ongoing system support and maintenance.

The 222154 provides additional compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected) and specified material compositions (PTFE dielectric, nickel-plated steel contacts) that enhance reliability in modern RF applications. The maximum frequency rating of 3 GHz for the substitute part supports standard 75-ohm coaxial terminator applications without performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 222154 directly replace the VDV814-610 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical specifications for connector style (F Type), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (75 Ohms), mounting type (Free Hanging, Cap), and body finish (Nickel). Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The VDV814-610 is classified as obsolete. The 222154 is an active production part from Amphenol RF, providing equivalent functionality with current availability and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there material differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The VDV814-610 uses a brass body, while the 222154 uses zinc die cast. The 222154 specifies steel contacts with nickel finish and PTFE dielectric material. These material specifications do not affect functional equivalence for 75-ohm terminator applications.

Q: What compliance standards does the substitute part meet?

A: The 222154 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8536.69.4010).

Q: Is packaging a consideration for substitution?

A: The VDV814-610 packaging is not specified. The 222154 is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging does not affect functional compatibility; verify packaging requirements based on your procurement and inventory procedures.
