RF292A2PDFDK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF292A2PDFDK is a 2.92mm coaxial connector plug manufactured by Bulgin, designed for panel mount applications with through-hole solder termination. This connector operates at frequencies up to 40 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance and is rated for 250 V operation across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The part is currently active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained, particularly when mounting hole configurations differ or when inventory availability requires alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RF292A2PDFDK are identified based on strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

  • Connector style: 2.92mm
  • Connector type: Plug, Male Pin
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms
  • Frequency rating: 40 GHz maximum
  • Voltage rating: 250 V
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
  • Mating cycles: 500

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

  • Mounting type: Panel Mount, Through Hole
  • Mounting feature: Flange
  • Contact termination: Solder
  • Shield termination: Solder
  • Center contact material: Beryllium Copper
  • Body material: Stainless Steel
  • Dielectric material: Polyetherimide (PEI)

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

  • Number of mounting holes: The RF292A2PDFDK features 2-hole mounting, while substitute parts RF292A4PCCA and RF292A4PCCDK feature 4-hole mounting. This difference permits substitution when panel design accommodates the alternative hole configuration.

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and environmental ratings. The RF292A2PEGDK provides direct equivalence with identical 2-hole mounting configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and environmental equivalence to the RF292A2PDFDK. Selection between alternatives is determined by mounting hole configuration requirements:

Direct Equivalent (Identical Mounting): RF292A2PEGDK provides complete functional equivalence with identical 2-hole flange mounting configuration. This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without panel modification.

Alternative Configuration (4-Hole Mounting): RF292A4PCCA and RF292A4PCCDK provide electrical and environmental equivalence with 4-hole flange mounting. These parts are suitable for applications where panel design accommodates four mounting holes. Both 4-hole variants maintain identical electrical performance and operating specifications.

Compliance and Production Status: All substitute parts are active in production status with ROHS3 compliance certification. RF292A4PCCDK includes additional REACH Unaffected status documentation. All parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are: RF292A2PDFDK (792 pcs), RF292A2PEGDK (1128 pcs), RF292A4PCCA (972 pcs), and RF292A4PCCDK (922 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF292A2PEGDK be used as a direct replacement for RF292A2PDFDK?

A: Yes. RF292A2PEGDK is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, voltage rating, impedance, frequency capability, and mounting configuration. Both parts feature 2-hole flange mounting and are suitable for direct substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 2-hole and 4-hole variants?

A: The RF292A2PDFDK and RF292A2PEGDK feature 2-hole flange mounting, while RF292A4PCCA and RF292A4PCCDK feature 4-hole flange mounting. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The choice between 2-hole and 4-hole configurations depends on panel design and mounting hole availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts, including RF292A2PDFDK, RF292A2PEGDK, RF292A4PCCA, and RF292A4PCCDK, are ROHS3 compliant. RF292A4PCCDK additionally carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same impedance and frequency rating?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain 50 Ohm impedance and 40 GHz maximum frequency rating. Electrical performance is identical across all variants.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with 250 V voltage rating and 500 mating cycles.

Q: Can I use a 4-hole variant if my panel only has 2 holes?

A: No. The 4-hole variants (RF292A4PCCA and RF292A4PCCDK) require four mounting holes. If your panel design accommodates only two holes, use RF292A2PDFDK or RF292A2PEGDK.

Q: Are there any differences in material composition between the variants?

A: No. All variants use identical materials: Beryllium Copper center contacts, Stainless Steel body, and Polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric material.
