PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS is a 2.4mm (APC-2.4, OS-50) coaxial connector jack with female socket configuration manufactured by Samtec Inc. This connector is designed for RF applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance and operates at frequencies up to 50 GHz. The part features solder contact termination with clamp shield termination, stainless steel body construction, and gold-plated beryllium copper center contacts. With active product status and ROHS3 compliance, this connector is suitable for high-frequency RF cable assemblies and in-line applications. Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the PRF series.

Substitute parts for the PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS are identified within the Samtec PRF series based on strict parametric equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: 2.4mm (APC-2.4, OS-50)
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Frequency - Max: 50 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Body Material: Stainless Steel
• Housing Color: Silver
• Dielectric Material: Polyetherimide (PEI)
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts differ only in cable group designation, which is reflected in the part number suffix. These variations do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in RF applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines compatibility between PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS and its substitute parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by identical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector style (2.4mm APC-2.4, OS-50), impedance (50 Ohms), contact and shield termination methods (Solder/Clamp), mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line), and frequency rating (50 GHz maximum). All substitute parts maintain these specifications.

Q: Can PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS be directly replaced with PRF24-J-C-EP-150-SS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference in part number designation reflects cable group variation, which does not affect RF performance or physical compatibility in applications requiring 2.4mm female socket jack connectors with solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of the cable group designation in the part number?

A: The cable group designation (indicated by the suffix in the part number) specifies the intended cable diameter range for the connector. While this affects cable compatibility, it does not alter the connector's electrical characteristics or mating interface, allowing substitution based on specific cable requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS and all listed substitute parts (PRF24-J-C-EP-140B-SS, PRF24-J-C-EP-150-SS, PRF24-J-C-EP-160-SS) carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: PRF24-J-C-EP-140B-SS provides the highest inventory level with 1169 pieces in stock, compared to 901 pieces for PRF24-J-C-EP-150B-SS, 1058 pieces for PRF24-J-C-EP-150-SS, and 738 pieces for PRF24-J-C-EP-160-SS.

Q: Do all substitute parts operate at the same maximum frequency?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are rated for maximum frequency operation of 50 GHz, maintaining identical RF performance specifications across the PRF series.
