PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS N Type Coaxial Connector 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 cable applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance matching. This connector features a male pin configuration with solder termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting. The part is Active in product status and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production and regulated applications. Substitute parts within the PRF06 series are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications, allowing for interchangeability when the primary part number is unavailable or when inventory optimization is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts within the PRF06 series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS. Substitution is based on the following critical parameters that remain constant across all equivalent parts:

• Connector Style & Type: N Type Plug, Male Pin configuration
• Electrical Performance: 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency
• Termination Method: Solder contact termination with clamp shield termination
• Mounting Configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line) with threaded fastening
• Material Composition: Beryllium Copper center contact (gold plated), Stainless Steel body, Polyetherimide dielectric
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification

The numeric suffix in each part number (142, 190, 290, 305, 335) represents cable diameter specifications. Parts are interchangeable when cable diameter requirements are met. All substitute parts maintain Active product status and are manufactured by Samtec Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts from the PRF06 series is determined by cable diameter compatibility. All parts maintain identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical construction (solder termination, clamp shield, threaded fastening, free-hanging mounting).

All substitute parts carry Active product status and RoHS3 compliance certification, confirming suitability for current production environments and regulated applications. The EAR99 export classification applies uniformly across all parts in this group.

Inventory availability across the substitute parts ranges from 732 to 1081 pieces, providing multiple sourcing options. Selection should be based on cable diameter requirements specific to the application, with all alternatives providing equivalent electrical performance and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS and its substitute parts (PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS) share identical electrical specifications: 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz maximum frequency, and solder termination. Interchangeability is determined by cable diameter compatibility, not electrical performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between substitute part numbers?

A: The numeric suffix in each part number (142, 190, 290, 305, 335) designates the cable diameter specification for which each connector is designed. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant across the series.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts in this group, including PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS and all substitute parts, are RoHS3 compliant. This certification applies uniformly across the entire PRF06 series.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The main part PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS is supplied in standard packaging. All substitute parts are available in Bulk packaging, providing flexibility for different procurement requirements.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring frequencies above 18 GHz?

A: No. The maximum frequency specification for all parts in this group is 18 GHz. Applications requiring higher frequency performance require alternative connector designs outside the PRF06 series.

Q: What materials are used in the center contact and body construction?

A: The center contact is Beryllium Copper with gold plating. The body is constructed from Stainless Steel. The dielectric material is Polyetherimide (PEI). These material specifications are consistent across all substitute parts.

Q: Is export control documentation required for these connectors?

A: All parts carry EAR99 classification, which is the standard export control designation for this connector category. Compliance with applicable export regulations is required based on destination and end-use.
