RF240A2PEGA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF240A2PEGA is an active 2.4mm (APC-2.4, OS-50) coaxial connector plug manufactured by Bulgin. This male pin connector is designed for 50 ohm RF applications with panel mount flange configuration and two-hole fastening. The connector operates across a frequency range up to 50 GHz and is suitable for applications requiring compression contact termination with screw shield termination. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained while accommodating different mounting hole configurations or other non-critical design variations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between RF240A2PEGA and RF240A4PCCA is based on equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for connector style, impedance, frequency range, contact and shield termination methods, operating temperature, voltage rating, mating cycles, material composition, and compliance certifications. The primary difference between these parts is the mounting hole configuration: RF240A2PEGA features two-hole panel mount fastening, while RF240A4PCCA features four-hole panel mount fastening. This variation in fastening hole count does not affect electrical performance or RF characteristics. Both parts are manufactured by Bulgin, share the same base product number (RF240), and are classified as active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RF240A2PEGA and RF240A4PCCA are active products with current manufacturing status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by panel mounting hole requirements. RF240A2PEGA is specified for applications requiring two-hole flange mount configuration, while RF240A4PCCA accommodates four-hole flange mount configuration. The choice between these substitutes depends solely on the mechanical mounting hole pattern of the target application. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, RF characteristics, operating specifications, and regulatory compliance. Inventory availability for both parts is confirmed at 873 units (RF240A2PEGA) and 861 units (RF240A4PCCA).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF240A4PCCA replace RF240A2PEGA in my application?

A: RF240A4PCCA is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RF240A2PEGA across all RF performance parameters.
