• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Frequency - Max: 4 GHz
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Housing Color: Red, Carmine
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Number of Ports: 1
• Features: Code L
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute parts RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations exist only in center contact material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Brass), body finish specifications (Tin/Nickel or Gold/Nickel vs. Gold), and center contact plating consistency. These material differences do not affect functional compatibility in 50 Ohm applications within the specified frequency and temperature ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. Selection between RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH, RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH, and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH depends on material specification requirements and availability:

RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH features an all-gold body finish with brass center contact material, providing consistent gold plating across connector surfaces.

RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH combines tin and nickel body finish with phosphor bronze center contact material, offering alternative material composition while maintaining electrical performance.

RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH provides gold and nickel body finish with phosphor bronze center contact material, balancing material specifications between the other two options.

All parts support identical electrical performance at 50 Ohms across the 4 GHz frequency range and operate within the -40°C to 85°C temperature specification. Inventory availability and material preference drive selection among these interchangeable options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH be used interchangeably with RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms, 4 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle solder termination), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Differences in center contact material and body finish do not affect functional compatibility in 50 Ohm coaxial applications.

Q: What is the difference between the center contact materials?

A: RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH uses brass center contact material, while RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH use phosphor bronze. Both materials support the same electrical performance and impedance specification. Material selection reflects manufacturing process variation rather than functional difference.

Q: Do body finish variations affect connector performance?

A: No. Body finish variations (gold, tin/nickel, or gold/nickel) do not impact electrical performance or impedance characteristics. All finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and conductivity for 50 Ohm applications within the specified operating temperature range.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH, RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH, and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH are all ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: All three parts are supplied in tray packaging, suitable for automated assembly and component handling.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring frequencies above 4 GHz?

A: No. All three parts are specified for maximum frequency of 4 GHz. Applications requiring higher frequency operation require alternative connector specifications.
