Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PRF04-P-C-EP-270A-RS is determined by strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The following parameters establish the substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Impedance (50 Ohms), Frequency - Max (18 GHz), and Number of Ports (1) must remain constant across all substitute parts.

Mechanical Parameters: Connector Style (TNCA), Connector Type (Plug, Male Pin), Contact Termination (Solder), Shield Termination (Clamp), Mounting Type (Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle), and Fastening Type (Threaded) must be identical.

Material Specifications: Center Contact Material (Beryllium Copper), Center Contact Plating (Gold), Body Material (Stainless Steel), and Dielectric Material (Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) must match exactly.

Compliance: RoHS Status (ROHS3 Compliant) and manufacturer (Samtec Inc.) must be consistent.

All three substitute parts—PRF04-P-C-EP-142-RS, PRF04-P-C-EP-190-RS, and PRF04-P-C-EP-335A-RS—meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents within the PRF series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts—PRF04-P-C-EP-142-RS, PRF04-P-C-EP-190-RS, and PRF04-P-C-EP-335A-RS—are active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. These parts are direct parametric equivalents to the PRF04-P-C-EP-270A-RS and are suitable for interchangeable use in applications requiring TNCA connector plugs with 50 ohm impedance and 18 GHz maximum frequency operation.

Selection among the substitute parts may be based on inventory availability. PRF04-P-C-EP-142-RS currently has the highest inventory level at 1155 units, followed by PRF04-P-C-EP-190-RS at 1022 units and PRF04-P-C-EP-335A-RS at 843 units. The main part PRF04-P-C-EP-270A-RS maintains 895 units in stock.

All parts are supplied in bulk packaging and carry identical electrical performance characteristics, material composition, and regulatory certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for PRF04-P-C-EP-270A-RS?

A: Substitution is based on matching all electrical parameters (50 ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, single port), mechanical specifications (TNCA connector style, male pin plug type, solder contact termination, clamp shield termination, free hanging right angle mounting, threaded fastening), material composition (beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, stainless steel body, PTFE dielectric), and compliance status (ROHS3 compliant).

Q: Are PRF04-P-C-EP-142-RS, PRF04-P-C-EP-190-RS, and PRF04-P-C-EP-335A-RS fully interchangeable with PRF04-P-C-EP-270A-RS?

A: Yes. All three parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They are direct substitutes within the PRF series.

Q: What is the difference between these substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts differ only in their part number designations within the PRF series. All other specifications, including impedance, frequency rating, connector style, termination type, materials, and compliance certifications, are identical.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution eligibility?

A: The main part PRF04-P-C-EP-270A-RS is supplied without specified packaging, while all substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
