PL75MC-214 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL75MC-214 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 connector operates across a frequency range up to 500 MHz and supports applications requiring robust RF signal transmission in the coaxial connector category. As an active product with 720 units in stock, the PL75MC-214 remains available; however, identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and access to alternative inventory sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PL75MC-214 qualifies for substitution with the PL75C-214 based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors share identical values for connector style (TRB, Twinaxial/Triaxial), connector type (Plug, Male Pin Concentric), contact and shield termination methods (Crimp), mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening mechanism (Bayonet Lock), frequency rating (500 MHz maximum), cable group compatibility (TWC-124-2), material composition (Beryllium Copper center contact, Brass body with Nickel finish and Gold plating), operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C), voltage rating (400 V), and mating cycle rating (500 cycles). Both parts maintain Series 70 designation and active product status. Substitution is valid where these parameters define the functional and physical requirements of the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PL75MC-214 and PL75C-214 are active products from the same manufacturer with full compliance to RoHS standards. The PL75C-214 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected status, indicating alignment with current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring TRB twinaxial/triaxial connectors with crimp termination, bayonet lock fastening, and operation up to 500 MHz. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, delivery lead times, and any specific regulatory or compliance requirements of the end application. The PL75C-214 includes additional components (1 connector and 1 strain relief) compared to the PL75MC-214 bulk packaging, which may influence selection based on assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PL75C-214 be used as a direct replacement for the PL75MC-214?

A: Yes. Both connectors are parametrically equivalent across all critical specifications including connector style, type, termination methods, mounting configuration, frequency rating, material composition, operating temperature, voltage rating, and mating cycles. They are functionally interchangeable in applications designed for either part number.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: TRB twinaxial/triaxial connector style, plug male pin concentric type, crimp contact and shield termination, free-hanging in-line mounting, bayonet lock fastening, 500 MHz maximum frequency, TWC-124-2 cable group compatibility, beryllium copper center contact, brass body with nickel finish and gold plating, -65°C to 165°C operating temperature range, 400 V voltage rating, and 500 mating cycles.

Q: Are there differences in packaging or included components?

A: The PL75MC-214 is supplied in bulk packaging. The PL75C-214 includes 2 pieces per package: 1 connector and 1 strain relief. This difference affects assembly workflow and component count but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). The PL75C-214 additionally carries ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected designations. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4010.

Q: How do I determine which part to select for my application?

A: Selection should be based on current inventory availability, delivery requirements, and any specific regulatory mandates of your end application. Both parts meet identical functional and electrical requirements for TRB connector applications operating up to 500 MHz with crimp termination.
