RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH is an SMB Fakra connector plug manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications requiring right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector operates at frequencies up to 4 GHz and is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits selection from parametrically equivalent alternatives within the same connector family.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector style (SMB, Fakra), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder for both contact and shield), frequency capability (4 GHz maximum), and environmental specifications (operating temperature -40°C ~ 85°C, MSL 1).

The substitute parts RF55-32M-T-00-50-A-SH and RF55-33M-T-00-50-A-SH meet all these critical parameters. Variations in center contact material (Brass versus Phosphor Bronze) and body finish specifications (Gold versus Tin/Nickel combinations) do not affect functional substitutability within the same electrical and mechanical envelope. All three parts share identical housing color (Orange, Pastel), fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp), features (Code M), and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment. Selection between RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH and its substitutes RF55-32M-T-00-50-A-SH or RF55-33M-T-00-50-A-SH depends on availability and material specification requirements. The primary part offers full gold body finish with brass center contact material. Substitute RF55-32M-T-00-50-A-SH provides tin and nickel body finish with phosphor bronze center contact. Substitute RF55-33M-T-00-50-A-SH combines gold and nickel body finish with phosphor bronze center contact. All parts carry identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory treatment. Moisture sensitivity level 1 (Unlimited) applies uniformly across all options, eliminating MSL-related constraints during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF55-32M-T-00-50-A-SH and RF55-33M-T-00-50-A-SH be used interchangeably with RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH in the same circuit?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (SMB Fakra plug, right-angle through-hole solder termination), and environmental operating range (-40°C ~ 85°C). Differences in center contact material and body finish do not affect functional compatibility within these parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the different center contact materials (Brass versus Phosphor Bronze)?

A: Center contact material is provided as a specified parameter. Both materials are used in the substitute parts and do not alter the electrical impedance, frequency response, or solder termination compatibility within the defined operating envelope.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are supplied in Tray packaging. No packaging format variations exist among the primary part and substitutes.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH, RF55-32M-T-00-50-A-SH, and RF55-33M-T-00-50-A-SH are all ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, classified as EAR99, and carry identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4010.

Q: Which part should be selected if supply is constrained?

A: Inventory levels are: RF55-23M-T-00-50-G-A-SH (1191 Pcs), RF55-33M-T-00-50-A-SH (765 Pcs), and RF55-32M-T-00-50-A-SH (678 Pcs). Selection should be based on current availability and project timeline requirements, as all parts are functionally equivalent.
