Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Rosenberger 230831 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMP
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency – Max: 26.5 GHz
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 155°C
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Number of Ports: 1
• Body Material: Brass
• Body Finish: Gold
• Center Contact Material: Brass
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR)

Allowable Variations:

• Dielectric Material: PEEK or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) are both acceptable
• Voltage Rating: Substitute parts may exceed the main part rating (335 V minimum required)
• Mating Cycles: Substitute parts may exceed the main part specification (500 cycles minimum required)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted if all parameters align
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS Compliant acceptable

Both identified substitute parts meet all mandatory matching parameters and fall within allowable variation ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Rosenberger 230831 (Primary Part)

• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Active product status with established supply chain
• Dielectric material: PEEK
• Recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance documentation

Rosenberger 19S10H-40ML5 (Parametric Equivalent)

• RoHS Compliant (meets environmental standards)
• Highest inventory availability (10100 units)
• Dielectric material: LCP
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications to main part
• Suitable for direct substitution in equivalent designs

TE Connectivity Linx CONSMP001-SMD-G-T (Parametric Equivalent)

• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Higher voltage rating (500 V vs. 335 V) provides additional margin
• Lower mating cycle specification (100 vs. 500) requires evaluation for high-cycle applications
• Dielectric material: LCP
• Suitable for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance

All three parts are active products with current production status and meet the core RF connector specifications for 50-ohm SMP surface mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Rosenberger 19S10H-40ML5 be used as a direct replacement for the 230831?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters: SMP connector style, 50-ohm impedance, surface mount solder termination, 26.5 GHz maximum frequency, -65°C to 155°C operating range, snap-on fastening, and gold-plated brass construction. The dielectric material differs (LCP vs. PEEK), but both materials are acceptable for this connector category. The 19S10H-40ML5 maintains the same 500 mating cycle rating and voltage specification.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity CONSMP001-SMD-G-T and the Rosenberger parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all primary specifications. Key differences are: (1) manufacturer origin, (2) higher voltage rating of 500 V compared to 335 V, and (3) lower mating cycle specification of 100 cycles versus 500 cycles. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin in high-voltage applications. The reduced mating cycle count requires assessment for applications involving frequent connector engagement and disengagement.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts are SMP connectors with surface mount solder termination, identical mounting type, and matching physical dimensions specified by the SMP standard. They are compatible with the same PCB layout and assembly process.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material difference?

A: The main part uses PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) while the substitute parts use LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Both materials are standard dielectric choices for RF connectors in this frequency range and operating temperature window. Material selection does not affect electrical performance at 26.5 GHz or mechanical compatibility. Selection between PEEK and LCP is typically driven by cost, availability, and specific application requirements rather than functional equivalence.

Q: Which part should be selected for highest inventory availability?

A: The Rosenberger 19S10H-40ML5 offers the highest inventory level at 10100 units, compared to 4973 units for the TE Connectivity part and 1009 units for the main part. This makes the 19S10H-40ML5 the optimal choice for applications requiring immediate or large-volume procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the three parts?

A: The Rosenberger 230831 and TE Connectivity CONSMP001-SMD-G-T are both ROHS3 Compliant. The Rosenberger 19S10H-40ML5 is RoHS Compliant. Both compliance levels meet environmental regulations; ROHS3 represents the current standard. The 19S10H-40ML5 also carries REACH Affected status, indicating it is subject to REACH chemical substance regulations. All three parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity part be used in high-cycle mating applications?

A: The TE Connectivity CONSMP001-SMD-G-T specifies 100 mating cycles, compared to 500 cycles for the Rosenberger parts. Applications requiring frequent connector engagement and disengagement should use either the Rosenberger 230831 or 19S10H-40ML5 to ensure adequate mechanical durability over the product lifetime.
