In the RF connector field, Amphenol RF is a high-end brand trusted by engineers worldwide, with its products covering various interface standards such as SMA, BNC, TNC, N-type, MCX, and FAKRA, and widely used in wireless communication, industrial automation, vehicle systems, broadcasting equipment, and testing instruments. Thanks to its high frequency, low insertion loss, and high durability, Amphenol RF has occupied an important market position in many niche industries.
But at the same time, with the continuous improvement of domestic manufacturing technology, more and more Chinese connector companies are engaged in the research and development and verification of domestic substitution for Amphenol RF products, in order to cope with problems such as rising prices of foreign brands, unstable supply and slow after-sales response.
An Overview of the Current Situation of Domestic Connector SubstitutionIn the past few years, domestic manufacturers have invested a large amount of resources in interface structure benchmarking, material selection, electrical performance testing, and have been able to achieve basic compatibility and even functional benchmarking in multiple model categories. Especially in conventional applications below 5GHz, many domestic connectors have passed customer on-site testing and batch verification, becoming an important alternative choice to Amphenol RF.
Currently, the progress of domestic manufacturers replacing in the following product series is particularly remarkable:
●SMA connector: Multiple domestic brands provide alternative SMA series models with electroplating thickness of more than 3μm and VSWR < 1.15.
●BNC connector: Supports 75Ω and 50Ω versions, compatible with video surveillance and testing equipment.
●TNC/N connector: Domestic brands are gradually replacing them in industrial communication and radio equipment.
●MCX/MMCX series: Suitable for high-density wiring scenarios, some manufacturers have achieved small batch export.
Summary of some representative domestic manufacturers (for reference only)
These domestic manufacturers not only maintain a high consistency with Amphenol RF in terms of performance parameters, but also have shorter delivery cycles, more flexible customization capabilities, and more competitive procurement costs, and are increasingly recognized by system integrators and equipment manufacturers.
Analysis of the advantages of domestic substitutionCost reduction: Average savings of 30%-50% on connector procurement costs;
Lead time stability: domestic manufacturers generally have controllable lead times and can respond quickly to emergency orders.
Fast technical response: support customer on-site connection, customized structure, and quick sample drawing.
Wide compatibility: Can replace various Amphenol RF mainstream models, supports mixed use of standard and non-standard interfaces.
In terms of actual feedback and test results, the performance of domestic connectors in terms of performance comparison and mass application has reached an acceptable level in the industry. Especially when dealing with Amphenol RF conventional models, they have good compatibility and implementability. For enterprises, this is both a breakthrough for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, as well as an important means to enhance supply chain security.
