PL75MC-202 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL75MC-202 is a TRB (Twinaxial/Triaxial) connector plug manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Trompeter. This male pin connector features crimp termination for both center contact and shield, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with bayonet lock fastening. The part is Active status and RoHS Compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable RF connectivity up to 500 MHz with operating temperatures ranging from -65°C to 165°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector family, ensuring functional interchangeability within specified cable group compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PL75MC-202 and PL75C-214 are grouped as parametric equivalents within the PL75 base product family. Substitution is valid based on the following matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

Connector Style: Both are TRB, Twinaxial/Triaxial connectors
Connector Type: Both are Plug, Male Pin (Concentric)
Contact Termination: Both use Crimp termination
Shield Termination: Both use Crimp termination
Impedance: Both are Non-Constant
Mounting Type: Both are Free Hanging (In-Line)
Fastening Type: Both use Bayonet Lock
Frequency - Max: Both rated to 500 MHz
Number of Ports: Both have 1 port
Housing Color: Both are Silver
Center Contact Material: Both use Beryllium Copper
Body Material: Both are Brass
Body Finish: Both are Nickel
Center Contact Plating: Both are Gold
Operating Temperature: Both rated -65°C ~ 165°C
Voltage Rating: Both rated 400 V
Mating Cycles: Both rated 500 cycles

The primary difference lies in cable group compatibility: PL75MC-202 is specified for TWC-78-1 cable group, while PL75C-214 is specified for TWC-124-2 cable group. This distinction requires verification of cable compatibility in the target application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PL75MC-202 and PL75C-214 are Active status products from the same manufacturer and series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by cable group compatibility requirements:

PL75MC-202 is specified for TWC-78-1 cable group applications
PL75C-214 is specified for TWC-124-2 cable group applications and includes 2 pcs (1 Connector, 1 Strain Relief) in the package

PL75C-214 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification compared to PL75MC-202's RoHS Compliant status, and includes REACH Affected designation. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and identical environmental operating ranges. Selection must be based on the specific cable group requirement of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PL75MC-202 and PL75C-214 be used interchangeably?
