Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the RF240 connector series is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style (2.4mm APC-2.4, OS-50)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Maximum frequency (50 GHz)
• Contact termination method (Compression)
• Shield termination (Screw)
• Voltage rating (150 V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Mounting feature (Flange)
• Center contact material (Beryllium Copper)
• Body material (Stainless Steel)
• Dielectric material (Polyetherimide)

Differentiating Parameters:

• Mounting hole configuration (4-hole vs. 2-hole flange)

The RF240A4PCCB (4-hole flange) and RF240A4PCCA (4-hole flange) are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents with identical specifications. The RF240A2PEGA (2-hole flange) provides an alternative for applications requiring a different panel mounting hole pattern while maintaining all electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts within this substitution group maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between RF240A4PCCB, RF240A2PEGA, and RF240A4PCCA is determined solely by panel mounting hole pattern requirements:

RF240A4PCCB and RF240A4PCCA are electrically and mechanically identical 4-hole flange mount connectors. Both are suitable for applications requiring four-point panel mounting. RF240A4PCCB has 887 units in inventory, while RF240A4PCCA has 861 units available.

RF240A2PEGA provides a 2-hole flange mount alternative for applications with different panel hole spacing requirements. This part maintains all electrical performance specifications and compliance certifications. RF240A2PEGA has 873 units in inventory.

All parts operate within the same temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), voltage rating (150 V), and frequency specification (50 GHz maximum). Selection should be based on panel mounting hole pattern compatibility with the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF240A2PEGA be used as a direct replacement for RF240A4PCCB?

A: RF240A2PEGA is electrically equivalent to RF240A4PCCB but differs in mounting hole configuration. The 2-hole flange of RF240A2PEGA is mechanically compatible only with panels designed for 2-hole mounting. The 4-hole flange of RF240A4PCCB is required for panels with 4-hole mounting patterns. Substitution is valid only when the panel mounting hole pattern matches.

Q: What is the difference between RF240A4PCCB and RF240A4PCCA?

A: RF240A4PCCB and RF240A4PCCA are parametrically equivalent. Both feature 4-hole flange mounting, identical electrical specifications, and the same operating characteristics. These parts are interchangeable for all electrical and mechanical applications.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RF240A4PCCB, RF240A2PEGA, and RF240A4PCCA are all ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q: What determines whether a substitute part is compatible?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector style (2.4mm APC-2.4, OS-50), impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (50 GHz), contact termination (Compression), shield termination (Screw), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and voltage rating (150 V). The mounting hole configuration (2-hole or 4-hole) must match the panel design.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in RF applications up to 50 GHz?

A: Yes, all three parts maintain 50 Ohms impedance and 50 GHz maximum frequency rating. Electrical performance is equivalent across all substitute parts. Selection is based on mechanical mounting requirements only.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
