PSMP-MSSB-PCS

Part Overview

The PSMP-MSSB-PCS is an active product coaxial connector manufactured by Amphenol RF. This PSMP Jack connector is designed for 50-ohm RF applications requiring surface mount solder termination. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary when managing component availability, supporting multiple supply chains, or addressing obsolescence concerns while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PSMP-MSSB-PCS is limited to components that meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following factors determine substitutability:

Mandatory Parameter Match:

• Connector Style: PSMP
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 10 GHz
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 165°C
• Voltage Rating: 480 V
• Mating Cycles: 1000
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Snap-On

Note on Connector Type: The main part is specified as a Jack with Male Pin, while substitute part 119S141-40ML5 is specified as a Plug with Male Pin. This represents a mating pair relationship where the Jack connector (PSMP-MSSB-PCS) interfaces with the Plug connector (119S141-40ML5).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PSMP-MSSB-PCS (Amphenol RF) and 119S141-40ML5 (Rosenberger) maintain active product status, ensuring continued support and availability. Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements, with the main part certified to ROHS3 and the substitute to standard RoHS Compliant status. The electrical and mechanical parameters, including impedance, frequency range, temperature rating, and mating cycle specifications, are identical across both parts.

The relationship between these components is complementary: the Jack connector (PSMP-MSSB-PCS) pairs with the Plug connector (119S141-40ML5) in complete RF interconnect assemblies. Selection between manufacturers should be based on supply chain requirements, delivery schedules, and procurement preferences, as both meet all specified performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PSMP-MSSB-PCS be directly replaced with the 119S141-40ML5? A: No. The PSMP-MSSB-PCS is a Jack connector, while the 119S141-40ML5 is a Plug connector. These components form a mating pair and serve complementary functions within an RF assembly. They cannot physically substitute for each other in the same position.

Q: What determines if a PSMP coaxial connector is a suitable substitute? A: A substitute must match all critical parameters: PSMP connector style, 50-ohm impedance, 10 GHz maximum frequency, -65°C to 165°C operating temperature range, 480 V voltage rating, 1000 mating cycles, surface mount solder termination, and snap-on fastening. The connector type (Jack vs. Plug) defines whether it is a mating component rather than a direct replacement.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between the main part and substitute? A: The PSMP-MSSB-PCS is ROHS3 Compliant, while the 119S141-40ML5 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements. ROHS3 represents the more recent regulatory designation; both parts are acceptable for RoHS-restricted applications.

Q: Does the dielectric material difference affect substitution? A: The main part uses Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), while the substitute lists both LCP and PEEK options. Both dielectric materials meet the specified electrical and mechanical performance for PSMP connectors at 50 ohms and frequencies up to 10 GHz.

Q: What is the MSL significance for these connectors? A: Both parts carry MSL-1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating they are not moisture-sensitive. No special storage or handling procedures are required, and they can be stored indefinitely under standard industrial conditions.
