Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: All parts maintain Active status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability for current production applications.

Compliance Certification: All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements equivalent to the primary part number.

Inventory Availability: PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS currently maintains the highest inventory level at 1135 pieces, followed by PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS at 1100 pieces. All parts demonstrate adequate stock for production planning.

Functional Equivalence: The complete parameter alignment across all substitute parts ensures direct interchangeability in 50 Ohm N Type panel mount applications operating to 18 GHz with solder termination and clamp shield configuration.

Part Number Suffix Variations: Differences in part number suffixes (142, 190, 290, 335, 335A) reflect design revisions or manufacturing process updates within the PRF06 series. These variations do not affect electrical or mechanical performance within the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all listed substitute parts electrically interchangeable with PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (18 GHz maximum), connector style (N Type jack, female socket), and contact configuration (solder termination with clamp shield). Electrical performance is equivalent across all listed part numbers.

Q: What determines substitutability for N Type coaxial connectors in this series?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence in connector style, connector type, impedance, frequency rating, contact termination method, shield termination method, mounting configuration, and material specifications. All listed parts match these criteria identically.

Q: Does PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS differ functionally from PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS?

A: No functional difference exists between these parts. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix variation indicates a design or manufacturing revision within the same functional specification.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring frequencies above 18 GHz?

A: No. The maximum frequency rating for all parts in this group is 18 GHz. Applications requiring higher frequency operation require alternative connector designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting the same environmental standards as the primary part number PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging designation "Bulk" versus the absence of packaging information?

A: PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS does not specify packaging information in the provided data. All other substitute parts are designated as Bulk packaging. This distinction relates to distribution format and does not affect connector performance or specifications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Any of the listed substitute parts are suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on inventory availability, internal part number standardization practices, and supply chain preferences. All parts provide equivalent performance and compliance.
