The TE 5-1814821-3 is a ZDC/Greenpar series F-type plug with a male pin contact, designed for 75 Ohm systems on RG-6 coaxial cable. The brass body carries a nickel finish, and the shield is terminated via crimp. This is a single-port plug intended for CATV, satellite, or broadband video distribution where 75 Ohm impedance is standard.
Lifecycle Status — Obsolete, No Direct Replacement
The 5-1814821-3 is officially listed as Obsolete by TE Connectivity. No successor order code or direct replacement part number has been published. There is no cross-reference to an active TE part number.
The 75 Ohm impedance is non-negotiable for CATV/video signal paths — a 50 Ohm connector would create a mismatch and degrade return loss. The 500 V rating is unusually high for an F-type, indicating the dielectric and creepage distances are built for distribution-level isolation, not just in-home drops. The 1 GHz bandwidth covers the full CATV spectrum through upper UHF channels. The RG-6 cable group means the crimp dimensions and centre pin diameter are sized for the standard 6-series coaxial cable with 18 AWG centre conductor and 0.260-inch dielectric.
