RF292AJC 2.92mm Coaxial Connector Jack Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF292AJC is a 2.92mm coaxial connector jack manufactured by Bulgin, designed for high-frequency RF applications requiring 50-ohm impedance. This female socket connector features solder termination for both center contact and shield, with a free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration. The connector is rated for operation up to 40 GHz and maintains performance across an operating temperature range of -65°C to 165°C. The RF292AJC is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent substitute parts are available within the same RF292 base product family to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RF292AJC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the RF292 base product family. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style: 2.92mm
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency maximum: 40 GHz
• Voltage rating: 250 V
• Mating cycles: 500

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector type: Jack, Female Socket
• Contact termination: Solder
• Shield termination: Solder
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening type: Threaded
• Center contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Body material: Stainless Steel
• Dielectric material: Polyetherimide (PEI)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 165°C
• RoHS status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Product status: Active

The substitute parts RF292AJA and RF292AJG are direct parametric equivalents with no deviations in the specified electrical, mechanical, or environmental characteristics. Substitution is valid for applications requiring identical performance specifications and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RF292AJC, RF292AJA, and RF292AJG—are active products manufactured by Bulgin with identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Each part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Selection among these equivalent parts is based on inventory availability and procurement lead time rather than technical performance differentiation. Current inventory levels are as follows:

• RF292AJC: 716 pieces in stock
• RF292AJA: 697 pieces in stock
• RF292AJG: 823 pieces in stock

All parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 2.92mm coaxial connectors with 50-ohm impedance, solder termination, and operation up to 40 GHz. No design modifications, re-qualification, or performance testing are required when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF292AJA and RF292AJG be used interchangeably with RF292AJC?

A: Yes. RF292AJA and RF292AJG are parametric equivalents to RF292AJC. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (2.92mm connector style, 50-ohm impedance, 40 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical design (jack female socket, solder termination, free-hanging mounting), and environmental ratings (-65°C to 165°C operating temperature, 250 V voltage rating, 500 mating cycles). Direct substitution is valid without design changes.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following parameters: connector style (2.92mm), connector type (jack female socket), impedance (50 ohms), contact and shield termination method (solder), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), fastening type (threaded), maximum frequency (40 GHz), operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C), voltage rating (250 V), and mating cycle rating (500). All substitute parts maintain these specifications without deviation.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between RF292AJC, RF292AJA, and RF292AJG?

A: No. All three parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8536.69.4010. No compliance re-evaluation is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the packaging format for these connectors?

A: All three parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No special packaging options or kit configurations are specified for this product family.

Q: Are there any material or construction differences between the substitute parts?

A: No. All three parts use identical materials: beryllium copper center contacts, stainless steel body, and polyetherimide (PEI) dielectric. Housing color is silver for all variants. No material substitutions or construction variations exist among these parts.

Q: What is the base product number for this connector family?

A: The base product number is RF292. The RF292AJC, RF292AJA, and RF292AJG are variants within this base product family, differentiated by suffix designations but sharing core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring frequencies above 40 GHz?

A: No. The maximum frequency rating for all three parts is 40 GHz. Applications requiring higher frequency operation require alternative connector designs outside this product family.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating, and what does it indicate?

A: The mating cycle rating is 500 cycles for all three parts. This specifies the number of times the connector can be mated and unmated while maintaining electrical and mechanical performance within specification. This rating applies to the threaded fastening mechanism and contact durability.
