PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS N Type Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS is an N Type coaxial connector plug manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for RF applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance matching. This male pin connector features solder termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration, suitable for cable assembly applications operating up to 18 GHz. The connector is constructed with stainless steel body, beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, and polyetherimide dielectric material. With active product status and ROHS3 compliance, this component is widely used in RF signal transmission systems. Equivalent substitute parts within the PRF06 series are available to accommodate different cable specifications and application requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical interface characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS belongs to the Samtec PRF06 series of N Type coaxial connectors. Substitute parts within this family are qualified as parametric equivalents based on the following criteria:

Substitution Basis:

• Identical connector style (N Type)
• Identical connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Identical impedance (50 Ohms)
• Identical frequency rating (18 GHz maximum)
• Identical contact termination method (Solder)
• Identical shield termination method (Clamp)
• Identical mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Identical fastening type (Threaded)
• Identical center contact material (Beryllium Copper)
• Identical center contact plating (Gold)
• Identical body material (Stainless Steel)
• Identical dielectric material (Polyetherimide PEI)
• Identical housing color (Silver)
• Identical number of ports (1)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Identical product status (Active)

The differences between PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS and its substitutes are limited to cable group specifications, which are designated by the numeric suffix in the part number (142, 190, 290, 305, 335). These suffixes indicate different cable diameter accommodations while maintaining all electrical and mechanical interface parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed (PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS) maintain active product status with Samtec Inc. and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. These parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS based on identical RF performance parameters, impedance characteristics, and connector interface specifications.

Selection between these equivalent parts is determined solely by cable group requirements. The numeric suffix in each part number corresponds to specific cable diameter specifications. Component selection should be based on the cable outer diameter that requires termination in the assembly application.

All parts in this group are manufactured to identical electrical specifications supporting 50 Ohm impedance and 18 GHz maximum frequency operation. Compliance certifications and material specifications are uniform across the substitute group, ensuring consistent performance in RF signal transmission applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all PRF06 series connectors with different numeric suffixes electrically identical?

A: Yes. The PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS, and PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS connectors are electrically identical. All maintain 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz frequency rating, and identical RF performance characteristics. The numeric suffix designates cable group specifications only.

Q: What determines which substitute part to select?

A: The cable outer diameter is the determining factor. Each numeric suffix (142, 190, 290, 305, 335) accommodates a specific cable diameter range. Select the part number corresponding to your cable specification.

Q: Are these connectors compatible with standard N Type mating interfaces?

A: Yes. All parts in this group are N Type connectors with male pin configuration and threaded fastening. They interface with standard N Type female receptacles.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same solder termination specifications?

A: Yes. All parts feature solder contact termination and clamp shield termination methods. Soldering procedures and specifications are identical across the group.

Q: Are inventory levels a factor in component selection?

A: Inventory availability may influence procurement decisions. Current stock levels are: PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS (912 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS (1038 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS (1047 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS (732 Pcs), and PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS (793 Pcs).

Q: Do all parts comply with environmental and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and maintain active product status with Samtec Inc., ensuring compliance with current environmental and regulatory standards.

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

A: Interchangeability is limited to applications where cable diameter specifications match the connector's cable group designation. Electrical and mechanical interface compatibility is maintained across all parts, but cable accommodation differs by part number.
