Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RF292A2JCCAL are grouped based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All identified substitutes maintain the following core parameters: 2.92mm connector style, jack female socket configuration, 50 Ohms impedance, 40 GHz maximum frequency, panel mount flange mounting, threaded fastening, solder contact termination, beryllium copper center contact material, and polyetherimide dielectric material.

Substitution categories are determined by the following differentiating parameters:

Bulgin Series Substitutes: The RF292A4JCCA differs from the main part only in mounting hole configuration (4-hole versus 2-hole flange), maintaining identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range.

WITHWAVE CO LTD Series Substitutes: Parts PM03FS056 through PM03FS063 are parametric equivalents that maintain all core electrical specifications but introduce variations in shield termination method (screw versus solder), center contact plating (gold versus unspecified), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 135°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). PM03FS060 and PM03FS062 utilize brass body material with tin and nickel finish instead of stainless steel.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Bulgin RF292A4JCCA: Select this substitute when panel mount applications require a 4-hole flange configuration instead of the 2-hole design of the RF292A2JCCAL. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and RoHS3 compliance. Both parts are manufactured by Bulgin and share the same base product number RF292, ensuring design continuity.

WITHWAVE CO LTD PM03FS Series (PM03FS056, PM03FS057, PM03FS058, PM03FS059, PM03FS061, PM03FS063): These substitutes are suitable for applications requiring extended operating temperature capability up to 135°C. All maintain 50 Ohms impedance, 40 GHz frequency rating, and beryllium copper center contacts. These parts utilize screw shield termination instead of solder termination and feature gold-plated center contacts. Body material is stainless steel with polyetherimide dielectric. Select from this group when thermal performance beyond -40°C ~ 85°C is required.

WITHWAVE CO LTD PM03FS060 and PM03FS062: These substitutes provide extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 135°C) with brass body material finished in tin and nickel. Dielectric material is not specified for these variants. Select when cost optimization is prioritized and extended temperature operation is required, with the understanding that body material composition differs from the stainless steel construction of the main part.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and are available in production quantities. Selection should be based on specific application requirements for mounting hole configuration, operating temperature range, shield termination method, and body material specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF292A4JCCA be used as a direct replacement for RF292A2JCCAL?

A: RF292A4JCCA is electrically and mechanically compatible with RF292A2JCCAL for all core RF specifications. The primary difference is the flange mounting hole configuration: RF292A4JCCA features 4 mounting holes while RF292A2JCCAL features 2 mounting holes. Substitution is valid when the panel design accommodates the 4-hole flange pattern.

Q: What is the primary difference between Bulgin and WITHWAVE CO LTD connector variants?

A: Bulgin parts (RF292A2JCCAL and RF292A4JCCA) feature solder shield termination and operate across -40°C ~ 85°C. WITHWAVE CO LTD parts (PM03FS series) feature screw shield termination, gold-plated center contacts, and extended operating temperature to 135°C. All maintain identical 50 Ohms impedance and 40 GHz frequency specifications.

Q: Are WITHWAVE PM03FS parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. WITHWAVE PM03FS series connectors are rated for -40°C ~ 135°C operating temperature, compared to -40°C ~ 85°C for the Bulgin RF292A2JCCAL. This extended range accommodates applications requiring thermal performance beyond the main part specification.

Q: What is the difference between PM03FS056-PM03FS059, PM03FS061, PM03FS063 and PM03FS060, PM03FS062?

A: PM03FS056, PM03FS057, PM03FS058, PM03FS059, PM03FS061, and PM03FS063 utilize stainless steel body material with polyetherimide dielectric. PM03FS060 and PM03FS062 utilize brass body material with tin and nickel finish, with dielectric material not specified. All maintain identical electrical specifications and extended operating temperature range.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance maintained across all substitute parts?

A: RoHS3 compliance is confirmed for RF292A2JCCAL and RF292A4JCCA. Compliance status for WITHWAVE PM03FS series parts is not provided in the available specifications.

Q: Can shield termination method be changed from solder to screw during substitution?

A: Shield termination method differs between Bulgin parts (solder) and WITHWAVE parts (screw). Substitution with different shield termination is valid when the application design accommodates screw-type shield connection. PCB layout and mechanical assembly requirements must be evaluated for compatibility.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?

A: RF292A2JCCAL: 823 pieces; RF292A4JCCA: 1209 pieces; PM03FS056: 909 pieces; PM03FS057: 958 pieces; PM03FS058: 1009 pieces; PM03FS059: 997 pieces; PM03FS060: 769 pieces; PM03FS061: 1144 pieces; PM03FS062: 819 pieces; PM03FS063: 967 pieces.
