All four substitute parts (PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS) maintain complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across these parameters. Variations in cable group designation do not affect substitution eligibility. All substitute parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and carry Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are direct parametric equivalents to the PRF92-P-C-EP-135B-SS and are suitable for interchangeable use in RF coaxial connector applications. Selection among these equivalent parts should be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability: PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS offers the highest current stock level at 1074 pieces, followed by PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS at 1014 pieces. PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS maintains 824 pieces, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS has 779 pieces available.

Compliance Status: All substitute parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and deployment.

Product Status: All substitute parts carry Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability for future procurement cycles.

Packaging Considerations: PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging specification for PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS is not specified in available documentation.

Selection of any substitute part does not require design modification, re-qualification, or performance re-testing, as all electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant across the equivalence group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS be used as a direct replacement for PRF92-P-C-EP-135B-SS?

A: Yes. PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 40 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (2.92mm plug, male pin, solder termination, free-hanging mounting), material composition (beryllium copper center contact, gold plating, stainless steel body, PTFE dielectric), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, EAR99). Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the difference between PRF92-P-C-EP-135B-SS and PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is inventory availability: PRF92-P-C-EP-135B-SS has 991 pieces in stock, while PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS has 1014 pieces. Packaging specification for PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS is not documented. Both are Active status products from Samtec Inc.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for 40 GHz RF applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (PRF92-P-C-EP-120A-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS, PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS, and PRF92-P-C-EP-150-SS) support maximum frequency operation to 40 GHz and maintain 50 Ohm impedance matching required for RF cable assemblies.

Q: Do substitute parts require different soldering procedures?

A: No. All substitute parts feature identical solder termination specifications and stainless steel body construction. Soldering procedures, thermal profiles, and assembly methods remain unchanged.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory position?

A: PRF92-P-C-EP-140-SS provides the highest current stock at 1074 pieces, followed by PRF92-P-C-EP-135-SS at 1014 pieces. Both are suitable for immediate procurement and support sustained production requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for deployment in restricted substance applications.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed in the same cable assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are parametrically equivalent and maintain identical mechanical and electrical characteristics. Mixed use within a single assembly does not introduce compatibility issues or performance degradation.
