Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS are identified within the Samtec PRF06 series based on strict parameter equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Connector style (N Type), impedance (50 Ohms), frequency maximum (18 GHz), and contact materials (Beryllium Copper with Gold plating).

Mechanical Parameters: Connector type (Jack, Female Socket), contact termination (Solder), shield termination (Clamp), mounting type (Panel Mount), mounting feature (Bulkhead - Front Side Nut), fastening type (Threaded), and number of ports (1).

Material & Compliance Parameters: Body material (Stainless Steel), dielectric material (Polyetherimide), housing color (Silver), RoHS3 compliance, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.69.4010).

The substitution group includes PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS, and PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS. These parts differ only in cable group designation, which does not affect the connector's core electrical or mechanical performance in panel mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts within this group maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS. Selection among these parts is based on availability and packaging requirements. All parts carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. The PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS variant offers the highest current inventory level at 1135 pieces. Component selection should prioritize availability and lead time requirements, as all parts are functionally interchangeable for 50 ohm N Type panel mount connector applications operating up to 18 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS be used as a direct replacement for PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS?

A: Yes. Both parts are N Type jack female socket connectors with identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 18 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (panel mount, bulkhead mounting, threaded fastening), and material composition (beryllium copper contacts with gold plating, stainless steel body, polyetherimide dielectric). They are functionally equivalent for RF applications.

Q: What is the difference between PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS and PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS?

A: The PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS variant differs only in packaging designation. All electrical, mechanical, and material parameters are identical. The "-A" suffix indicates a packaging variation that does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts in this substitution group, including PRF06-J-C-EP-290-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-142-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-190-BS, PRF06-J-C-EP-335-BS, and PRF06-J-C-EP-335A-BS, carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What determines substitutability within the PRF06 series?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence in connector style, impedance, frequency rating, contact and shield termination methods, mounting configuration, and material specifications. All parts in this group maintain these parameters identically.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical parameters are identical across all substitute parts, enabling direct substitution in panel mount applications requiring N Type 50 ohm female socket connectors with solder termination.
