RF240A2JEGADGA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF240A2JEGADGA is a 2.4mm (APC-2.4, OS-50) coaxial connector jack with female socket configuration, designed for 50 Ohms impedance applications. This panel mount, through-hole solder connector features a flange-mounted design with two mounting holes and operates across a frequency range up to 50 GHz. The connector is constructed with beryllium copper center contacts, stainless steel body, and polyetherimide dielectric material, rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and 85°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters with variations in mounting hole configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RF240A2JEGADGA and RF240A4JCCADGA are classified as parametric equivalents within the RF240 base product family. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 50 Ohms impedance, 50 GHz maximum frequency, 150 V voltage rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The connectors share identical connector style (2.4mm APC-2.4, OS-50), type (Jack, Female Socket), termination methods (Solder for both contact and shield), and material composition (beryllium copper center contacts, stainless steel body, polyetherimide dielectric).

The primary distinction between these parts is the mounting hole configuration: RF240A2JEGADGA features a two-hole flange mount design, while RF240A4JCCADGA features a four-hole flange mount design. Both employ threaded fastening and panel mount through-hole installation. This variation in mounting hole count allows selection based on specific panel layout and mechanical fastening requirements while maintaining full electrical compatibility and performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RF240A2JEGADGA and RF240A4JCCADGA are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without special precautions. Selection between these parts is determined solely by mechanical mounting requirements on the target panel or enclosure.

The RF240A2JEGADGA two-hole flange configuration is appropriate for applications requiring compact mounting footprints or panels with pre-drilled two-hole patterns. The RF240A4JCCADGA four-hole flange configuration provides enhanced mechanical stability and is suitable for applications requiring distributed fastening points or panels with four-hole mounting patterns.

Both connectors deliver identical electrical performance across the full 50 GHz frequency range with 50 Ohms impedance and 150 V voltage rating. The choice between these parts does not affect signal integrity, frequency response, or thermal performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RF240A2JEGADGA and RF240A4JCCADGA electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 50 Ohms impedance, 50 GHz maximum frequency, 150 V voltage rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The connectors use identical materials for center contacts (beryllium copper), body (stainless steel), and dielectric (polyetherimide). Electrical performance and signal characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector models?

A: The primary difference is the mounting hole configuration. RF240A2JEGADGA features a two-hole flange mount, while RF240A4JCCADGA features a four-hole flange mount. Both employ threaded fastening and panel mount through-hole installation. The selection depends on the mechanical mounting pattern required by the target application.

Q: Can I substitute RF240A4JCCADGA for RF240A2JEGADGA in an existing design?

A: Substitution is possible only if the target panel or enclosure has four mounting holes available and spaced to accommodate the RF240A4JCCADGA flange pattern. If the panel is pre-drilled for two holes only, the RF240A4JCCADGA cannot be mechanically installed without panel modification.

Q: Can I substitute RF240A2JEGADGA for RF240A4JCCADGA in an existing design?

A: Substitution is possible only if the target panel or enclosure has two mounting holes available and spaced to accommodate the RF240A2JEGADGA flange pattern. If the panel is pre-drilled for four holes only, the RF240A2JEGADGA cannot be mechanically installed without panel modification.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors carry identical ROHS3 compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1, Unlimited). Both are active production parts from Bulgin with equivalent regulatory and environmental certifications.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for these connectors?

A: Both RF240A2JEGADGA and RF240A4JCCADGA are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating the expected number of connection and disconnection operations before performance degradation.

Q: Are solder terminations required for both connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors use solder termination for both center contact and shield. No alternative termination methods are available for these specific part numbers.
