Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PRF92-P-C-EE-118A-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
• Body material: Stainless Steel
• Center contact material: Beryllium Copper

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliant status

All substitute parts listed meet these parameters. Variations in packaging format (Bulk vs. standard packaging) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The RF292APG from Bulgin represents a cross-manufacturer equivalent with identical functional specifications, though with different dielectric material composition and additional operating temperature specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for direct substitution in applications requiring 2.92mm coaxial connectors with 50-ohm impedance and 40 GHz frequency capability.

Samtec Inc. PRF Series (PRF92-P-C-EE-118A-SD, PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD, PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD): These parts are functionally identical across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among these three Samtec variants may be based on packaging requirements (Bulk packaging available for PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD and PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD) and current inventory levels.

Bulgin RF292APG: This cross-manufacturer equivalent provides identical electrical performance and mechanical interface. The RF292APG features polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric material in place of PTFE, with specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C and 500 mating cycles. Selection of the RF292APG is appropriate when cross-manufacturer sourcing is required or when the specified operating temperature and mating cycle ratings are relevant to application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector style, impedance, frequency rating, termination method, and materials. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk for the -085A variant). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec PRF92 variants and the Bulgin RF292APG?

A: All four parts meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements for 2.92mm coaxial connectors at 50 ohms and 40 GHz. The RF292APG uses polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric material instead of PTFE and includes specified operating temperature (-65°C to 165°C) and mating cycle (500) ratings. Electrical performance and physical interface are equivalent.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for substitution?

A: Packaging format (Bulk vs. standard) does not affect connector performance or compatibility. Selection may be based on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Is the RF292APG suitable for applications requiring PTFE dielectric material?

A: The RF292APG uses PEI dielectric material. If PTFE dielectric is a specific application requirement, the Samtec PRF92 series parts (PRF92-P-C-EE-118A-SD, PRF92-P-C-EE-085A-SD, PRF92-P-C-EE-118-SD) are the appropriate selection.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with HTSUS code 8536.69.4010.
