PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS is an N Type Connector Plug with male pin configuration manufactured by Samtec Inc. This coaxial RF connector is designed for free hanging (in-line) solder termination applications with 50 Ohms impedance and operates at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The connector features a stainless steel body with gold-plated beryllium copper center contact and polyetherimide dielectric material. The part is currently active in production status and RoHS3 compliant. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number is unavailable due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or when alternative cable group specifications are required for specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts listed for the PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Clamp
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Frequency - Max: 18 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Stainless Steel
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Dielectric Material: Polyetherimide (PEI)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.4010

The substitute parts differ only in cable group specifications (indicated by the numeric suffix in the part number: 142, 160A, 190, 290, 305, 335). These variations accommodate different cable outer diameters while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility within the PRF06 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts within the PRF06 series maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS and its equivalents (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) is determined by cable group compatibility requirements. The numeric suffix in each part number designates the cable outer diameter specification for which the connector is designed. Component selection must align with the specific cable gauge used in the application to ensure proper mechanical fit and electrical performance. All listed parts share identical electrical characteristics, material composition, and regulatory compliance status, making them functionally interchangeable within their respective cable group applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a PRF06 connector can substitute for the PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS?

A: Substitution is valid when all electrical and mechanical parameters are identical: N Type connector style, Plug Male Pin configuration, Solder contact termination, Clamp shield termination, 50 Ohms impedance, Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, Threaded fastening, 18 GHz maximum frequency, single port, Beryllium Copper center contact, Stainless Steel body, Gold plating, and Polyetherimide dielectric. The cable group designation (numeric suffix) may differ based on application requirements.

Q: Can I use PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS in place of PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS?

A: Yes, provided the cable outer diameter specification for the PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS matches your application requirements. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The difference lies only in the cable group compatibility indicated by the numeric suffix.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts, including 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, are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Q: What is the significance of the numeric suffix in the part number?

A: The numeric suffix (142, 160A, 190, 290, 305, 335) designates the cable group or cable outer diameter for which the connector is designed. Selection of the correct suffix ensures proper mechanical fit with your specific cable type while maintaining full electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there inventory differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Current inventory levels vary: PRF06-P-C-EP-160A-SS (1008 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS (1038 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS (1047 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS (793 Pcs), PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS (732 Pcs), and PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS (912 Pcs). Inventory availability should be verified at the time of procurement.

Q: Do all substitute parts operate at the same frequency range?

A: Yes. All substitute parts in the PRF06 series operate at identical maximum frequency of 18 GHz, maintaining full RF performance compatibility across the entire product group.
