Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RF292A2JCEDK are grouped based on electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. All identified substitutes maintain the following core specifications: 2.92mm connector style, jack female socket configuration, 50 ohms impedance, panel mount flange design, solder contact termination, 40 GHz maximum frequency, and threaded fastening type.

Substitution logic is organized into two categories:

Category 1: Bulgin Manufacturer Parts - RF292A4JCCA differs from the main part only in mounting hole count (4 holes versus 2 holes). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, including operating temperature range, voltage rating, and material specifications.

Category 2: WITHWAVE CO LTD Manufacturer Parts - PM03FS056, PM03FS057, PM03FS058, PM03FS059, PM03FS060, PM03FS061, PM03FS062, and PM03FS063 maintain electrical compatibility across all critical parameters. These parts feature extended operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 135°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and gold-plated center contacts. Shield termination differs (screw-based versus solder-based). Body material varies between stainless steel and brass with tin/nickel finish options.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RF292A4JCCA Selection - This Bulgin part is selected when panel mounting requires four fastening holes instead of two. Electrical performance and operating specifications remain identical to the RF292A2JCEDK. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. This substitution applies directly to applications where PCB layout or mechanical mounting requirements specify four-hole flange configurations.

WITHWAVE CO LTD Series Selection - Parts PM03FS056 through PM03FS063 are selected for applications requiring extended operating temperature capability (up to 135°C versus 85°C maximum). These parts maintain full electrical compatibility at 50 ohms impedance and 40 GHz frequency operation. All WITHWAVE parts feature gold-plated center contacts and screw-based shield termination. Body material selection between stainless steel (PM03FS056, PM03FS057, PM03FS058, PM03FS059, PM03FS061, PM03FS063) and brass with tin/nickel finish (PM03FS060, PM03FS062) depends on environmental corrosion requirements and mechanical specifications. All WITHWAVE parts maintain active product status.

Compliance Considerations - The RF292A2JCEDK and RF292A4JCCA are ROHS3 compliant. WITHWAVE parts do not specify RoHS compliance status in provided documentation. Compliance verification is required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF292A4JCCA replace RF292A2JCEDK in existing designs?

A: RF292A4JCCA is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RF292A2JCEDK with one difference: mounting hole count. The substitute features four mounting holes versus two. Direct substitution is possible only if the PCB layout accommodates four-hole flange mounting. All electrical parameters, operating temperature range, voltage rating, and impedance specifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between Bulgin and WITHWAVE substitute parts?

A: Bulgin RF292A4JCCA differs only in mounting hole configuration. WITHWAVE parts (PM03FS056-PM03FS063) offer extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 135°C), gold-plated center contacts, and screw-based shield termination. Body material options include stainless steel and brass with tin/nickel finish. All maintain 50 ohms impedance and 40 GHz frequency capability.

A: WITHWAVE parts operate from -40°C to 135°C, providing 50°C additional temperature margin compared to the RF292A2JCEDK (-40°C to 85°C). Selection depends on specific application temperature requirements. All other electrical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between solder and screw shield termination?

A: RF292A2JCEDK and RF292A4JCCA feature solder-based shield termination. WITHWAVE parts use screw-based shield termination. Both methods provide electromagnetic shielding at 50 ohms impedance. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and mechanical design specifications.

Q: Can body material differences affect connector performance?

A: All substitute parts maintain 50 ohms impedance and 40 GHz frequency operation regardless of body material.
