PRF24-P-C-EP-150A-SS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF24-P-C-EP-150A-SS is a 2.4mm (APC-2.4, OS-50) coaxial connector plug manufactured by Samtec Inc. This male pin connector operates at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 50 GHz and is designed for free hanging (in-line) solder termination applications. The connector features a stainless steel body with gold-plated beryllium copper center contact and polyetherimide dielectric material. The product maintains Active status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and termination characteristics within the PRF series coaxial connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PRF24-P-C-EP-150A-SS and PRF24-P-C-EP-120A-SS electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (50 GHz maximum), contact termination (solder), and dielectric material (polyetherimide). They are electrically equivalent for RF applications.

Q: Can PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS be used as a direct replacement for PRF24-P-C-EP-150A-SS?

A: Yes. The PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including connector style (2.4mm APC-2.4, OS-50), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and termination specifications (solder contact, clamp shield).

Q: What determines compatibility between these substitute parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector style, impedance, frequency rating, contact and shield termination types, mounting configuration, and material specifications. All identified substitutes maintain identical values across these parameters.

Q: Are packaging differences between substitute parts significant?

A: Packaging differences are not specified in the provided parameters. All parts are available in bulk packaging and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for component selection purposes.

Q: Do all substitute parts carry the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, classified as EAR99 for export purposes, and assigned the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4010).

Q: Which substitute part should be selected based on availability?

A: Selection should be based on current inventory requirements. PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS offers the highest inventory level (1148 pieces), followed by PRF24-P-C-EP-140B-SS (789 pieces) and PRF24-P-C-EP-120A-SS (748 pieces).
