Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts listed are parametric equivalents within the Samtec PRF06 series. Substitution is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching across the following critical criteria:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style: N Type
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Maximum frequency: 18 GHz
• Number of ports: 1

Mechanical Parameters:

• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Clamp
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Housing color: Silver
• Center contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Body material: Stainless Steel
• Center contact plating: Gold
• Dielectric material: Polyetherimide (PEI)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8536.69.4010

The 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, and PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS differ only in cable group specifications (indicated by the numeric suffix), which defines the cable diameter accommodation. All other parameters remain identical to the main part PRF06-P-C-EP-284-SS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical construction to the PRF06-P-C-EP-284-SS. Selection between the main part and substitute parts is determined by cable group requirements, which specify the outer diameter of the cable to be terminated. The numeric suffix in each part number (284, 142, 190, 290, 305, 335) designates the specific cable group accommodation.

All parts in this equivalency group are Active product status and maintain ROHS3 compliance with EAR99 export classification. Inventory availability varies across the substitute parts, with PRF06-P-C-EP-284-SS maintaining the highest stock level at 1168 pieces.

Selection should be based on the cable diameter specification required for the application. Once the correct cable group is identified, any part number within this group provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for N Type 50 Ohm RF applications operating up to 18 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS be used in place of PRF06-P-C-EP-284-SS?

A: Yes, PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS is a parametric equivalent. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (N Type, 50 Ohms, 18 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical construction (solder termination, clamp shield, stainless steel body, beryllium copper center contact with gold plating), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The difference is the cable group designation, which specifies cable diameter accommodation. Selection depends on the cable outer diameter required for your application.

Q: What determines which substitute part to select?

A: The cable group specification determines the correct part selection. The numeric suffix in the part number (284, 142, 190, 290, 305, 335) indicates the cable diameter range the connector accommodates. Verify your cable outer diameter specification and match it to the corresponding cable group number to select the appropriate part number.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all parts listed—PRF06-P-C-EP-284-SS, 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 and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: Do substitute parts have different electrical performance?

A: No. All substitute parts operate at identical electrical specifications: 50 Ohm impedance, N Type connector style, male pin configuration, and 18 GHz maximum frequency. Electrical performance is equivalent across all parts in this group.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: The only difference between parts is the cable group designation (the numeric suffix). This determines which cable outer diameter range the connector can accommodate. All other parameters—connector type, impedance, frequency rating, materials, plating, termination method, and compliance status—are identical.

Q: Can I use a different cable group connector if my exact part number is unavailable?

A: No. The cable group must match your cable outer diameter specification. Using an incorrect cable group will result in improper termination and potential signal integrity issues. Select the substitute part that corresponds to your cable diameter requirement.

Q: Are all parts manufactured by Samtec Inc.?

A: Yes, all parts listed are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and are part of the PRF06 series of N Type coaxial connectors.
