PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PRF24-P-C-EP-160-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. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and material composition across the PRF series connector line.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS are identified within the Samtec PRF series based on strict parametric equivalence. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Connector style: 2.4mm (APC-2.4, OS-50)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Maximum frequency: 50 GHz
• Number of ports: 1

Mechanical Specifications:

• Connector type: Plug, Male Pin
• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Clamp
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Threaded

Material Specifications:

• Center contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Center contact plating: Gold
• Body material: Stainless Steel
• Dielectric material: Polyetherimide (PEI)
• Housing color: Silver

Compliance:

• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product status: Active

The substitute parts PRF24-P-C-EP-120A-SS and PRF24-P-C-EP-140B-SS are functionally equivalent to the main part number PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS across all provided electrical, mechanical, and material parameters. Differences in part number designation reflect internal Samtec product line variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within this connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS, PRF24-P-C-EP-120A-SS, and PRF24-P-C-EP-140B-SS—are Active status products from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these equivalent parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Current inventory levels are as follows: PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS (1148 Pcs), PRF24-P-C-EP-140B-SS (789 Pcs), and PRF24-P-C-EP-120A-SS (748 Pcs). All parts carry identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms, 50 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (2.4mm plug connector, solder termination, threaded fastening), and material composition (stainless steel body, gold-plated beryllium copper center contact, polyetherimide dielectric).

For applications requiring 2.4mm coaxial connectors with 50 Ohm impedance and high-frequency performance to 50 GHz, any of these three part numbers provide equivalent performance and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PRF24-P-C-EP-160-SS, PRF24-P-C-EP-120A-SS, and PRF24-P-C-EP-140B-SS electrically interchangeable?
