Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental and safety standards. Selection between PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS and its substitutes should be based on cable length requirements specific to the application. The numeric designations (142, 190, 290, 305, 335) represent distinct cable length specifications; selection must align with the physical cable routing and connection distance requirements of the target system.

All variants are manufactured by Samtec Inc. within the PRF06 series and share identical electrical performance characteristics up to 18 GHz, identical contact materials (Beryllium Copper with Gold plating), and identical dielectric composition (Polyetherimide). Inventory availability varies across part numbers, with PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS currently showing the highest stock level at 1038 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. All PRF06-P-C-EP variants listed maintain identical electrical specifications: 50 Ohm impedance, N Type connector style, male pin configuration, and 18 GHz maximum frequency rating. Electrical interchangeability is confirmed across all substitute parts.

Q: What determines the part number suffix (142, 190, 290, 305, 335)?

A: The numeric suffix indicates cable length specification. Selection must match the physical cable length requirement of the application. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical across variants.

Q: Can PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS be replaced with PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS in an existing design?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. Substitution is valid provided the cable length specification of PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS satisfies the physical routing requirements of the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting current environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What is the contact termination method for all PRF06 variants?

A: All variants use solder contact termination with clamp shield termination. Installation requires soldering to the cable conductor and shield.

Q: Do all parts use the same dielectric material?

A: Yes. All PRF06-P-C-EP variants use Polyetherimide (PEI) as the dielectric material, ensuring consistent electrical performance across the series.

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

A: All PRF06 series N Type connectors are rated to 18 GHz maximum frequency.
