PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B SMA Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B is an SMA connector plug manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for RF coaxial cable applications. This male pin connector operates at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 18 GHz and utilizes solder contact termination for permanent cable attachment. The connector features a free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration with threaded fastening and is constructed from stainless steel with gold-plated beryllium copper contacts.

The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the original packaging configuration is unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS shares identical specifications across the following key parameters:

• Connector Style: SMA
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Frequency - Max: 18 GHz
• Cable Group: Semflex HP190
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Stainless Steel
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The only difference between the main part and the substitute is the packaging configuration: PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging, while PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS is supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging distinction does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or functional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B and PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS are Active status products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance with EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance considerations.

PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel packaging. PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS is appropriate for manual assembly operations or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable. Both parts deliver identical RF performance, mechanical fit, and environmental compliance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS be used as a direct replacement for PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B uses tape-and-reel packaging while PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS uses bulk packaging. Connector performance, impedance, frequency rating, and all mechanical dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Packaging affects handling and assembly processes. Tape-and-reel packaging (PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging (PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. The connectors themselves are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS-B and PRF01-P-C-EP-190-SS are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors are specified for Semflex HP190 cable group. This cable group designation ensures proper mechanical fit and electrical performance when mated with these SMA male plug connectors.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in RF applications up to 18 GHz?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain 50 Ohms impedance and are rated to 18 GHz maximum frequency. They are electrically interchangeable for all RF applications within this frequency range.
