PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD SMA Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD is an SMA connector plug manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for coaxial RF applications. This male pin connector features solder termination for both center contact and shield, operates at 50 ohms impedance, and supports frequencies up to 18 GHz. The connector is rated for RG-402 (.141" semi-rigid) cable with free hanging (in-line) mounting configuration. Product status is active with ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when procurement requirements necessitate alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMA
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Group: RG-402 (.141" Semi Rigid)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Frequency - Max: 18 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

The substitute part FMCN1587 from Fairview Microwave meets all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in center contact material (Beryllium Copper vs. Brass), body finish, and additional specifications such as operating temperature range and voltage rating do not disqualify substitution when the core electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD and FMCN1587 are active products with ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and procurement requirements. The FMCN1587 provides additional specifications including operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 165°C), voltage rating (500 V), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), which may be relevant for specific application environments. Both connectors are suitable for 50-ohm RF applications operating up to 18 GHz with RG-402 semi-rigid cable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FMCN1587 be used as a direct replacement for PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications: SMA plug male pin configuration, 50-ohm impedance, solder termination for center contact and shield, free hanging in-line mounting, RG-402 cable compatibility, threaded fastening, and 18 GHz maximum frequency operation.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are center contact material (Beryllium Copper in PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD versus Brass in FMCN1587) and body finish specifications. The FMCN1587 includes documented operating temperature range and voltage rating specifications not provided for the PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same cable types?

A: Yes. Both connectors are designed for RG-402 (.141" semi-rigid) cable with identical impedance and frequency specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both PRF01-P-C-EE-402-SD and FMCN1587 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging format is available for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging.
