Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of coaxial connectors in the RF292 series is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The RF292A2PCEC and its identified substitute RF292A2PEGA share identical specifications across the following key parameters:

• Connector style and gender configuration (2.92mm Plug, Male Pin)
• Electrical impedance (50 Ohms)
• Contact and shield termination methods (Compression and Screw)
• Frequency capability (40 GHz maximum)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount with Flange)
• Material composition (Beryllium Copper center contact, Stainless Steel body, Polyetherimide dielectric)
• Environmental operating range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Voltage and mating cycle ratings (250 V, 500 cycles)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1)

These parts are classified as parametric equivalents, meaning they satisfy identical functional and mechanical requirements for direct substitution in applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RF292A2PCEC and RF292A2PEGA are active production parts manufactured by Bulgin with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these equivalent parts is based on procurement requirements and inventory availability rather than technical performance differences.

The RF292A2PCEC maintains primary inventory status with 1035 units in stock. The RF292A2PEGA provides an alternative source with 986 units available. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications for 2.92mm coaxial connector applications operating up to 40 GHz with 50 ohm impedance.

For applications requiring immediate availability or bulk quantities, inventory levels should be evaluated against project timelines. Both parts carry identical regulatory certifications and environmental ratings, supporting interchangeable deployment in production assemblies.
