Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector style: 2.92mm
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency maximum: 40 GHz
• Number of ports: 1

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Solder
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Center contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Body material: Stainless Steel

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliant status

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. The PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD (Samtec Inc.) and RF292APG (Bulgin) satisfy these requirements and are interchangeable for applications requiring the PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD (Samtec Inc.): This part is a direct parametric equivalent to the PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD. Both are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including PTFE dielectric material and gold center contact plating. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD availability is limited. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are classified as active products.

RF292APG (Bulgin): This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria, including 2.92mm connector style, 50-ohm impedance, 40 GHz frequency rating, and solder termination. The RF292APG differs in dielectric material (PEI versus PTFE) and does not specify center contact plating. This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries additional specifications including operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C), voltage rating (250 V), and mating cycle rating (500 cycles). Selection of RF292APG is appropriate when Samtec parts are unavailable and the application requirements align with the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD be used as a direct replacement for PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector style, impedance, frequency rating, termination method, and materials. They are direct parametric equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between the dielectric materials in the Samtec and Bulgin parts?

A: The PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD and PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD use PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) as the dielectric material. The RF292APG uses PEI (Polyetherimide). Both materials are suitable for RF applications at 40 GHz, but PTFE offers superior high-frequency performance characteristics. The choice between them depends on specific application requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD, PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD, and RF292APG are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What are the inventory levels for each substitute part?

A: PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD has 1,036 units in stock, PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD has 642 units in stock, and RF292APG has 1,029 units in stock.

Q: Does the RF292APG include operating temperature specifications?

A: Yes. The RF292APG is rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 165°C and includes a voltage rating of 250 V and mating cycle rating of 500 cycles. The Samtec parts do not specify these parameters in the provided data.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in production assemblies?

A: The PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD and PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD are interchangeable due to identical specifications. The RF292APG is electrically and mechanically compatible but differs in dielectric material and additional performance ratings. Substitution of RF292APG should be evaluated based on specific application requirements and environmental conditions.
