The substitute parts PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS, and PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS are functionally equivalent to PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS. Differences in part number suffixes reflect variations in connector length or mechanical configuration that do not affect electrical performance or compatibility in panel mount solder applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS and its equivalents (PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS) is based on mechanical length requirements and panel thickness accommodation, as these parameters determine the appropriate part number within the series while preserving electrical and functional equivalence.

All parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and carry identical electrical specifications for 50 Ohm N Type RF applications operating to 18 GHz. Inventory availability across all substitute parts ensures supply chain flexibility without compromising compliance or performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS, and PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS electrically identical to PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS?

A: Yes. All parts share identical electrical specifications including 50 Ohm impedance, N Type connector style, jack female socket configuration, and 18 GHz maximum frequency rating. Differences in part number suffixes reflect mechanical length variations that do not affect RF performance.

Q: What determines which substitute part to select?

A: Selection is determined by the mechanical length requirement and panel thickness accommodation needed for your specific application. All substitute parts maintain identical solder termination, clamp shield termination, and bulkhead panel mount configuration.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS, and PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS are all ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8536.69.4010.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in panel mount solder applications?

A: Yes, within the constraints of mechanical length and panel thickness. All parts feature identical contact termination (solder), shield termination (clamp), mounting type (panel mount), and mounting feature (bulkhead front side nut with threaded fastening).

Q: What materials are used in these connectors?

A: All substitute parts use beryllium copper center contacts with gold plating, stainless steel bodies, and polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric material. These materials are consistent across all equivalent parts in the PRF06 series.

Q: Is packaging information available for all substitute parts?

A: PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS, and PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS are supplied in Bulk packaging. PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS packaging information is not specified in the provided data.
