Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF04-J-C-EP-142-BS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TNCA connector family. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: 50-ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, TNCA connector style, female socket jack configuration.

Mechanical Specifications: Panel mount with bulkhead front-side nut mounting feature, threaded fastening type, single port configuration.

Material & Termination: Beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, stainless steel body, PTFE dielectric, solder contact termination, clamp shield termination.

Compliance: ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 export classification, HTSUS code 8536.69.4010.

Substitution is valid only when all parameters listed above are identical between the main part and the substitute part. Differences in cable group designation or packaging do not affect functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—PRF04-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF04-J-C-EP-190-BS, and PRF04-J-C-EP-335A-BS—are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and inventory status rather than functional differences.

Current inventory levels are as follows: PRF04-J-C-EP-142-BS (976 units), PRF04-J-C-EP-190-BS (968 units), and PRF04-J-C-EP-335A-BS (688 units). All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory consistency across applications.

For applications requiring TNCA female socket connectors with 50-ohm impedance, panel-mount bulkhead configuration, and solder termination up to 18 GHz, any of these three parts provides equivalent performance and interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PRF04-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF04-J-C-EP-190-BS, and PRF04-J-C-EP-335A-BS fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 18 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical mounting configuration (panel mount, bulkhead front-side nut), connector interface (TNCA female socket jack), and material composition (beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, stainless steel body, PTFE dielectric). They are functionally equivalent for direct substitution in RF circuit applications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for TNCA coaxial connectors?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: connector style (TNCA), connector type (jack, female socket), impedance (50 ohms), frequency rating (18 GHz), mounting type (panel mount), mounting feature (bulkhead front-side nut), contact termination (solder), shield termination (clamp), center contact material (beryllium copper), center contact plating (gold), body material (stainless steel), and dielectric material (PTFE).

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. Packaging designation (Bulk or other) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All parts are supplied as new original components and are functionally equivalent regardless of packaging classification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. PRF04-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF04-J-C-EP-190-BS, and PRF04-J-C-EP-335A-BS are all ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8536.69.4010, ensuring regulatory consistency for procurement and deployment.

Q: What is the maximum operating frequency for these connectors?

A: All three parts are rated for operation up to 18 GHz, supporting high-frequency RF applications within this bandwidth specification.
