Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH, RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH, and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH—are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Each part carries EAR99 classification and operates within identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Selection between these parts is based on material and finish specifications:

RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH: Phosphor Bronze center contact with Tin/Nickel body finish
RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH: Brass center contact with Gold body finish; includes PTFE dielectric material specification
RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH: Phosphor Bronze center contact with Gold/Nickel body finish

All parts are suitable for direct substitution in 50 Ohm RF applications requiring SMB Fakra connectors with through-hole, right-angle solder termination up to 4 GHz.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH replace RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH in production?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms, 4 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and termination method (solder). The difference in center contact material (Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze) and body finish (Gold vs. Tin/Nickel) does not affect functional compatibility within the specified operating envelope.

Q: What is the difference between RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH and RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH?

A: Both parts use Phosphor Bronze center contacts and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is body finish: RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH features Gold/Nickel finish, while RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH features Tin/Nickel finish. This distinction does not affect electrical performance or interchangeability.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH, RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH, and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the maximum operating frequency for these connectors?

A: All three parts are rated for maximum 4 GHz operation and are suitable for RF applications within this frequency range.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage?

A: With Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), these connectors do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. Standard component storage practices apply.
