Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed—PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS—are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS. Selection among these parts is based on cable length requirements specific to the application, as the numerical designations (120A, 135, 140, 150) indicate cable length specifications.

Compliance & Status: All parts maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. All parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and carry identical electrical performance specifications for 50-ohm RF applications up to 40 GHz.

Inventory Availability: PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS offers the highest inventory level at 1074 units, followed by PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS at 1014 units. PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS maintains 779 units in stock. The primary part PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS has 824 units available.

Selection should be determined by cable length requirements and inventory availability for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS fully interchangeable with PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS?

A: Yes, these parts are fully interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. All parts share identical connector specifications, impedance, frequency rating, contact materials, and termination methods. The differences in part numbers reflect cable length variations only.

Q: What determines substitutability for 2.92mm coaxial connectors in the PRF series?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching the following parameters: connector style (2.92mm), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (50 Ohms), contact termination (Solder), shield termination (Clamp), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), fastening type (Threaded), and maximum frequency (40 GHz). All substitute parts maintain these specifications.

Q: Do the cable length differences affect RF performance?

A: Cable length specifications do not affect the connector's electrical performance characteristics. The 50-ohm impedance, frequency response to 40 GHz, and contact material properties remain constant across all variants.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts—PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS—are ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 export classification, matching the primary part specification.

Q: How should I select between the available substitute parts?

A: Selection should be based on the cable length requirement for your specific application. All parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Inventory availability may also be a consideration, with PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS currently offering the highest stock level.

Q: What materials are used in the center contact and body?

A: All parts use beryllium copper for the center contact with gold plating, and stainless steel for the body. The dielectric material is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) across all variants.
