RF292A4PAADK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF292A4PAADK 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 1092 pieces in stock. Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative mounting configurations or packaging options while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RF292A4PAADK are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Bulgin RF292 coaxial connector family. The primary substitution criteria are:

Core Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector Style: 2.92mm
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 40 GHz
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Voltage Rating: 250 V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C

Core Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Stainless Steel
• Dielectric Material: Polyetherimide (PEI)

Variable Parameters (Allowed to Differ):

• Number of Mounting Holes (4-hole vs. 2-hole configurations)
• Packaging designation (PAADK, PCCA, PCCDK, PEGDK variants)

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and compliance certifications. Differences exist only in physical mounting hole count and internal packaging codes, which do not affect RF performance or functional compatibility in applications where the mounting configuration is appropriate.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active production status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between RF292A4PAADK, RF292A4PCCA, and RF292A4PCCDK is determined by packaging and internal designation requirements, as these three parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 4-hole flange mounting configurations.

The RF292A2PEGDK variant differs only in mounting hole count (2-hole configuration) and is suitable for applications where panel space or mounting hole layout requires a reduced hole pattern. This part maintains all electrical specifications and compliance certifications identical to the 4-hole variants.

Selection should be based on:

1. Panel Mounting Hole Layout: Confirm whether the application requires 4-hole or 2-hole flange mounting
2. Packaging Designation Requirements: Verify if specific packaging codes (PAADK, PCCA, PCCDK, or PEGDK) are mandated by procurement or supply chain specifications
3. Inventory Availability: All variants maintain adequate stock levels for production requirements

No electrical performance differences exist between any listed substitutes. All parts operate identically across the full frequency range (DC to 40 GHz), temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and voltage rating (250 V).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF292A4PCCA be used as a direct replacement for RF292A4PAADK?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-hole flange mount 2.92mm connectors with identical electrical specifications, impedance, frequency rating, and material composition. The difference is in packaging designation only. Electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

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

A: The RF292A4PAADK, RF292A4PCCA, and RF292A4PCCDK feature 4-hole flange mounting, while RF292A2PEGDK features 2-hole flange mounting. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. Selection depends on panel hole layout requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (RF292A4PCCA, RF292A4PCCDK, and RF292A2PEGDK) are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical environmental certifications as the RF292A4PAADK.

Q: Do the packaging codes (PAADK, PCCA, PCCDK, PEGDK) affect RF performance?

A: No. Packaging codes are internal designations that do not affect electrical performance, impedance, frequency response, or any RF characteristics. All variants operate identically across the 40 GHz frequency range.

Q: Can I substitute a 2-hole variant for a 4-hole variant in my application?

A: Only if your panel mounting layout accommodates 2-hole flange spacing. The RF292A2PEGDK is electrically equivalent but has a different physical mounting hole pattern. Verify panel hole positions before substitution.

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

A: All substitute parts operate across -40°C to 85°C. No temperature derating or performance variation exists between any listed variants.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the substitute parts?

A: No. All substitute parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8536.69.4010. No compliance differences exist.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for all variants?

A: All substitute parts are rated for 500 mating cycles. No variation exists between RF292A4PAADK, RF292A4PCCA, RF292A4PCCDK, and RF292A2PEGDK.
