PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS N Type Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF06-P-C-EP-305-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 termination and free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration, operating at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The connector is constructed with stainless steel body, beryllium copper center contact with gold plating, and polyetherimide dielectric material. Currently in active product status with ROHS3 compliance, this component is suitable for RF cable assembly applications. Equivalent substitute parts within the PRF06 series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in cable group designations, making them direct functional replacements for component sourcing flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS belongs to a parametric equivalency group within the Samtec PRF06 series. All substitute parts listed share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that define connector functionality and interchangeability. These parameters include connector style (N Type), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance rating (50 Ohms), contact and shield termination methods (Solder and Clamp respectively), mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening mechanism (Threaded), maximum frequency rating (18 GHz), center contact material composition (Beryllium Copper with Gold plating), body construction (Stainless Steel), and dielectric material (Polyetherimide). All parts maintain identical port count (1), housing color (Silver), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The substitution group is defined exclusively by these parameters. Variations between part numbers within this group reflect cable group designations only, which do not affect the connector's electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in RF applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five parts within this equivalency group—PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-142-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS, PRF06-P-C-EP-290-SS, and PRF06-P-C-EP-335-SS—are functionally interchangeable for RF coaxial connector applications. Each part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory conformance for modern electronics applications. Selection between equivalent parts should be based on inventory availability and cable group requirements specific to your assembly specification. All parts are supplied in bulk packaging format suitable for production environments. The stainless steel construction with gold-plated beryllium copper contacts ensures consistent electrical performance and environmental durability across the entire substitution group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all PRF06 series connectors with the same electrical specifications interchangeable?

A: Yes. The PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS and its four substitute parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They differ only in cable group designation, which does not affect connector functionality or RF performance. All five parts are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What determines whether a connector can substitute for the PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS?

A: Substitution is determined by matching all critical parameters: N Type connector style, Plug Male Pin configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, Solder contact termination, Clamp shield termination, Free Hanging In-Line mounting, Threaded fastening, 18 GHz maximum frequency, Beryllium Copper center contact with Gold plating, Stainless Steel body, and Polyetherimide dielectric material. All listed substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Can I use PRF06-P-C-EP-190-SS if my design specifies PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS?

A: Yes, provided your application does not have specific cable group requirements. Both connectors are electrically and mechanically identical. Verify cable group compatibility with your cable assembly specification before substitution.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts in this equivalency group, including PRF06-P-C-EP-305-SS and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

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

A: All parts in this group support RF applications up to 18 GHz maximum frequency, making them suitable for microwave and high-frequency RF cable assemblies.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. All parts are supplied in bulk packaging, which is a logistics and handling specification only. Bulk packaging does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or RF characteristics of the connectors.
