PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS N Type Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS is an N Type coaxial connector plug manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for RF cable applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance matching. This male pin connector features solder contact termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration, suitable for frequencies up to 18 GHz. The connector is constructed with stainless steel body, beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, and polyetherimide dielectric material. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when primary part availability is limited, when bulk packaging is required, or when inventory optimization across multiple compatible variants is needed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts listed for the PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Connector style (N Type), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (50 Ohms), frequency maximum (18 GHz), and number of ports (1) are identical across all variants.

Mechanical Specifications: Contact termination (Solder), shield termination (Clamp), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), and fastening type (Threaded) are uniform across all substitute parts.

Material Composition: Center contact material (Beryllium Copper), body material (Stainless Steel), center contact plating (Gold), and dielectric material (Polyetherimide PEI) are consistent across all variants.

Compliance & Certification: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, identical ECCN classification (EAR99), and matching HTSUS code (8536.69.4010).

Series Designation: All parts belong to the PRF06 series and maintain Active product status.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is packaging configuration (main part listed as standard versus bulk packaging for substitutes) and minor part number suffix variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are direct parametric equivalents to the PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS. Selection between the main part and substitute variants should be based on the following engineering criteria:

Availability & Inventory: Current stock levels vary across part numbers. PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS maintains the highest inventory (1,038 pcs), followed by PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS (1,047 pcs) and PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS (793 pcs). The main part PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS has 700 pcs available.

Packaging Requirements: The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while all substitute variants are available in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging selection is appropriate for high-volume production runs or when component consolidation across multiple SKUs is required.

Compliance Certification: All parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory equivalence for export and environmental compliance applications.

Product Status: All parts maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and continued availability through the component lifecycle.

Electrical Performance: All variants support identical frequency range (18 GHz maximum) and 50 Ohm impedance specification, ensuring direct substitution in RF circuit applications without performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS be used as a direct replacement for PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS?

A: Yes. Both parts are N Type male pin connectors with identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms, 18 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (solder termination, clamp shield, threaded fastening, free-hanging mounting), and material composition (beryllium copper center contact, stainless steel body, gold plating, PEI dielectric). The parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging configuration. The main part PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS is supplied in standard packaging, while substitute parts (PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS) are supplied in bulk packaging. All parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status identical to the main part PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

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

A: No. All parts in this family are rated for maximum frequency of 18 GHz. Applications requiring higher frequency operation require alternative connector designs outside the PRF06 series.

Q: What is the impedance specification for all these connectors?

A: All parts maintain 50 Ohm impedance specification, standard for RF coaxial connector applications. This impedance is consistent across all substitute variants.

Q: Are the substitute parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc., identical to the main part PRF06-P-C-EP-135B-SS.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest current inventory?

A: PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS maintains the highest inventory at 1,047 pcs, followed closely by PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS at 1,038 pcs.

Q: Can bulk packaging parts be used in applications requiring standard packaging?

A: Bulk packaging refers to the distribution format and does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk-packaged parts are functionally identical to standard-packaged variants and can be used in any application where the standard-packaged version is specified.
