Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PRF06-P-C-EP-290-RS is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part PRF06-P-C-EP-190-RS is classified as a parametric equivalent based on the following criteria:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

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

The substitute part maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical interface specifications. The difference in part number designation (290 versus 190) reflects packaging variation only, with the substitute available in Bulk packaging versus the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PRF06-P-C-EP-290-RS and PRF06-P-C-EP-190-RS maintain Active product status from Samtec Inc. and are ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

The PRF06-P-C-EP-290-RS is suitable for applications requiring the original packaging specification with 928 units currently in stock. The PRF06-P-C-EP-190-RS provides an equivalent alternative with Bulk packaging and 819 units in stock. Both parts satisfy identical RF performance requirements, impedance specifications, and mechanical interface requirements for N Type coaxial connector applications operating up to 18 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
