Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF01-P-C-EP-290-SS are identified through parametric equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: SMA Plug, Male Pin configuration
• Impedance Rating: 50 Ohms
• Frequency Performance: 18 GHz maximum
• Termination Method: Solder contact with clamp shield termination
• Mounting Configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Material Composition: Beryllium Copper center contact, Stainless Steel body, Gold plating, PTFE dielectric
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification

The substitute parts differ only in cable length designation (indicated by the numeric suffix in the part number) and packaging configuration. These variations do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with mating SMA receptacles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF01-P-C-EP-120C-SS be used as a direct replacement for PRF01-P-C-EP-290-SS-2?

A: PRF01-P-C-EP-120C-SS is electrically and mechanically equivalent to PRF01-P-C-EP-290-SS-2. The primary difference is cable length. Selection depends on the specific cable length requirement of the application.

Q: What determines compatibility between these SMA connector plugs?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching impedance (50 Ohms), connector style (SMA), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), termination method (Solder), and frequency rating (18 GHz). All listed parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: PRF01-P-C-EP-335A-SS is available in Bulk packaging. Other parts do not specify alternative packaging configurations in the provided data.

Q: Do all substitute parts comply with RoHS regulations?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the significance of the numeric suffix in the part number (e.g., -1, -2)?

A: The numeric suffix indicates cable length variant. Parts with different suffixes are functionally equivalent but designed for different cable assembly lengths.

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

A: All listed parts are rated for maximum frequency of 18 GHz and maintain 50 Ohms impedance. They are electrically interchangeable within this frequency range.
