Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF04-P-C-EP-200-SS are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 18 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Connector Style: TNCA
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded

Material & Construction Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Stainless Steel
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Housing Color: Silver

Compliance Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.4010

All identified substitute parts maintain identical specifications across these parameters. Variations in part numbering (such as PRF04-P-C-EP-142-SS, PRF04-P-C-EP-190-SS, PRF04-P-C-EP-290-SS, PRF04-P-C-EP-335-SS, and PRF04-P-C-EP-335A-SS) reflect cable length or connector configuration differences that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the PRF series TNCA connector family.
