RF292A2JCEDP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF292A2JCEDP is a 2.92mm coaxial connector jack manufactured by Bulgin, designed for panel mount applications with through-hole solder termination. This female socket connector operates at 50 ohms impedance and supports frequencies up to 40 GHz, making it suitable for high-frequency RF applications. The connector features a two-hole flange mounting configuration with threaded fastening and is rated for 500 mating cycles. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical characteristics, mechanical mounting compatibility, and operational specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RF292A2JCEDP is determined by the following critical parameters: connector style (2.92mm), connector type (jack, female socket), impedance (50 ohms), mounting type (panel mount), contact termination (solder), and maximum frequency (40 GHz). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: Bulgin Manufacturer Parts The RF292A4JCCA differs from the main part only in mounting feature configuration (four-hole flange versus two-hole flange). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, including impedance, frequency rating, operating temperature, and contact materials.

Category 2: WITHWAVE CO LTD Manufacturer Parts The PM03FS056, PM03FS057, PM03FS058, PM03FS059, PM03FS060, PM03FS061, PM03FS062, and PM03FS063 parts maintain electrical equivalence across connector style, type, impedance, frequency, and termination specifications. These parts feature extended operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 135°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) and gold-plated center contacts. Shield termination differs (screw-based versus solder-based). Body material variations exist between stainless steel and brass with tin/nickel finish options.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Bulgin RF292A4JCCA Selection The RF292A4JCCA is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RF292A2JCEDP with the exception of flange hole configuration (four holes versus two holes). Selection of this part is appropriate when panel mounting design requires four-hole flange attachment. Both parts maintain identical impedance, frequency rating, operating temperature range, and contact materials. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production status.

WITHWAVE CO LTD Parts Selection (PM03FS056 through PM03FS063) The WITHWAVE parts maintain full electrical equivalence in connector style, type, impedance, and frequency specifications. These parts feature extended operating temperature capability (-40°C ~ 135°C), which provides thermal margin beyond the RF292A2JCEDP specification. Selection of WITHWAVE parts is appropriate for applications requiring higher temperature operation or when alternative sourcing is required. All WITHWAVE parts are active in production status.

Shield Termination Consideration The RF292A2JCEDP employs solder-based shield termination, while all WITHWAVE substitute parts employ screw-based shield termination. This difference affects assembly methodology and mechanical interface design. Panel design must accommodate the screw termination approach when substituting with WITHWAVE parts.

Body Material Variations PM03FS060 and PM03FS062 feature brass body material with tin and nickel finish, while other WITHWAVE parts and the Bulgin parts use stainless steel. Brass construction may be selected for specific environmental or cost considerations while maintaining electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF292A4JCCA be used as a direct replacement for RF292A2JCEDP? A: The RF292A4JCCA is electrically equivalent and mechanically compatible for panel mount applications. The primary difference is the flange hole configuration (four holes versus two holes). Direct substitution is possible if the panel design accommodates the four-hole mounting pattern.

Q: What is the primary difference between Bulgin and WITHWAVE substitute parts? A: The Bulgin RF292A4JCCA maintains identical specifications to the RF292A2JCEDP except for flange hole count. WITHWAVE parts (PM03FS056-PM03FS063) offer extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 135°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) and employ screw-based shield termination instead of solder-based termination. All parts maintain 50 ohm impedance and 40 GHz frequency capability.

Q: Are WITHWAVE parts suitable for high-temperature applications? A: Yes. WITHWAVE parts are rated for -40°C ~ 135°C operating temperature, providing 50°C additional thermal margin compared to the RF292A2JCEDP. This extended range makes them suitable for applications requiring higher temperature operation.

Q: What assembly considerations apply when using WITHWAVE parts? A: WITHWAVE parts employ screw-based shield termination rather than solder-based termination. Panel design and assembly procedures must accommodate this mechanical interface difference. Solder termination on the RF292A2JCEDP and RF292A4JCCA requires different assembly methodology than screw termination on WITHWAVE parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: The RF292A2JCEDP and RF292A4JCCA are explicitly ROHS3 compliant. Compliance status for WITHWAVE parts (PM03FS056-PM03FS063) is not specified in the provided parameters.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts? A: RF292A4JCCA: 1209 pcs. PM03FS056: 909 pcs. PM03FS057: 958 pcs. PM03FS058: 1009 pcs. PM03FS059: 997 pcs. PM03FS060: 769 pcs. PM03FS061: 1144 pcs. PM03FS062: 819 pcs. PM03FS063: 967 pcs.

Q: Can body material differences affect connector performance? A: All substitute parts maintain 50 ohm impedance and 40 GHz frequency capability regardless of body material (stainless steel or brass). Body material selection affects mechanical properties and environmental resistance but does not alter electrical performance for RF applications.
