Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF04-P-C-EP-335-SS are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

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

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

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

Material & Construction Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

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

Compliance Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• 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 -142-SS, -190-SS, -200-SS, -290-SS, -335-SS, and -335A-SS) reflect cable length or connector length designations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the PRF series architecture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts for PRF04-P-C-EP-335-SS maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence. Selection among these alternatives is based on the following engineering considerations:

Product Status & Compliance: All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment and long-term supply availability. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4010) are identical across all variants, confirming export and tariff classification consistency.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels vary across substitute parts. PRF04-P-C-EP-290-SS and PRF04-P-C-EP-142-SS offer highest availability at 933 and 931 pieces respectively. PRF04-P-C-EP-200-SS presents lowest availability at 688 pieces. Inventory considerations should align with procurement lead time requirements and supply chain strategy.

Connector Length Designation: Part number suffixes (-142-SS, -190-SS, -200-SS, -290-SS, -335-SS, -335A-SS) indicate connector length or cable length specifications. These designations do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the PRF series. Selection should be based on specific cable assembly requirements and mechanical fit within the target application.

Electrical Performance: All substitute parts deliver identical electrical characteristics: 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, and TNCA connector style. No performance differentiation exists among alternatives for RF signal integrity or impedance matching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all PRF04-P-C-EP substitute parts electrically interchangeable with PRF04-P-C-EP-335-SS?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, TNCA connector style, and single-port configuration. Electrical performance is equivalent across all variants.

Q: What do the numeric suffixes in part numbers (-142-SS, -190-SS, -200-SS, -290-SS, -335-SS, -335A-SS) represent?

A: The numeric designations indicate connector or cable length specifications within the PRF series architecture. These length variations do not affect electrical parameters or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on specific cable assembly length requirements for your application.

Q: Can PRF04-P-C-EP-335-SS be replaced with PRF04-P-C-EP-200-SS in an existing design?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. Both parts feature identical impedance, frequency rating, connector type, termination method, and material specifications. Substitution is valid from an engineering standpoint. Verify mechanical fit and cable length requirements for your specific assembly.

Q: Are packaging differences significant between substitute parts?

A: Packaging variations (Bulk vs. unspecified) do not affect component functionality or electrical performance. Packaging selection should align with procurement volume requirements and inventory management practices. All parts are supplied as new original stock.

Q: Do all substitute parts comply with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, identical ECCN classification (EAR99), and matching HTSUS code (8536.69.4010). Regulatory and export compliance is consistent across all variants.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best availability?

A: PRF04-P-C-EP-290-SS and PRF04-P-C-EP-142-SS both maintain highest inventory levels at 933 and 931 pieces respectively. PRF04-P-C-EP-200-SS presents the lowest availability at 688 pieces. Availability should be confirmed at time of procurement.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the -335-SS and -335A-SS variants?

A: Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The "-A" designation in PRF04-P-C-EP-335A-SS does not indicate performance differentiation. Selection between these variants should be based on mechanical fit requirements and cable length specifications for your application.
