PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS N Type Coaxial Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF06-P-C-EP-290-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 contact termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration, suitable for cable assembly applications 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/microwave systems. Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when primary inventory is unavailable or when cable length specifications require alternative connector variants within the same PRF06 series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts listed for PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS are parametric equivalents within the Samtec PRF06 series. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

Identical Parameters (Substitution Basis):

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

Variable Parameter (Differentiator):

• Cable Length Specification (reflected in part number suffix: 142, 190, 290, 305, 335)

The numeric suffix in each part number indicates cable length or connector body length specification. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics, allowing direct substitution based on application cable length requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection among PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS and its substitute parts is determined by cable length or connector body length specification requirements. All variants maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, RF impedance matching, frequency response, and mechanical construction standards.

Compliance and Certification: All substitute parts carry identical regulatory compliance status:

• ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.4010

Product Status: All parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels vary across the PRF06 series variants. Selection should account for immediate availability requirements and project lead time constraints.

Electrical Equivalence: All substitute parts deliver identical RF performance within the 50 Ohm impedance specification and 18 GHz maximum frequency rating. No electrical performance degradation occurs when substituting between variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS be used in place of PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS?

A: Yes. Both connectors are parametric equivalents within the PRF06 series. The numeric suffix indicates cable length specification. Substitution is valid when the cable length requirement of your application matches the substitute part specification.

Q: Are all PRF06 series N Type connectors electrically identical?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical electrical characteristics: 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, solder contact termination, and gold-plated beryllium copper center contacts. Electrical performance is equivalent across all variants.

Q: What is the difference between PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS and PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS?

A: The primary difference is the cable length or connector body length specification, indicated by the numeric suffix (290 versus 335). All other electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are identical.

Q: Can I substitute PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS if PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS is out of stock?

A: Substitution is valid if your application cable length requirement matches the PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS specification. Verify the cable length or connector body length requirement before substitution.

Q: Are all these connectors ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All PRF06 series variants listed are ROHS3 compliant with identical regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.69.4010).

Q: What is the maximum operating frequency for these N Type connectors?

A: All PRF06 series variants support maximum frequency of 18 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance matching.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage?

A: All connectors are supplied in Bulk packaging. Standard RF component handling practices apply: protect from moisture, maintain clean connector interfaces, and store in controlled environment conditions.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-frequency applications above 10 GHz?

A: Yes. All PRF06 series variants are rated to 18 GHz maximum frequency and are suitable for high-frequency RF and microwave applications within this specification.
