Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters: SMB Fakra connector style, male pin plug type, 50 Ohm impedance, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder contact and shield termination, 4 GHz maximum frequency, red carmine housing color, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The identified substitute parts RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH and RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH meet all these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in center contact material (Phosphor Bronze versus Brass) and body finish (Gold/Nickel versus Gold or Tin/Nickel) do not affect substitution eligibility within this product category, as these material selections remain within acceptable performance parameters for the specified impedance and frequency range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected designation. The RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH, RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH, and RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH are electrically and mechanically equivalent for 50 Ohm SMB Fakra plug applications operating to 4 GHz. Selection between these parts is determined by material availability and inventory levels rather than performance differentiation. Current inventory shows RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH at 1136 pieces, RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH at 1085 pieces, and RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH at 930 pieces. All parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH replace RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH in production designs?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 4 GHz maximum frequency, solder termination) and mechanical requirements (SMB Fakra plug, through-hole right-angle mounting). The difference in center contact material (Brass versus Phosphor Bronze) and body finish (Gold versus Gold/Nickel) does not affect functional compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the body finish variation between these parts?

A: Body finish variations (Gold, Gold/Nickel, or Tin/Nickel) represent different plating processes applied to the brass body material. All finishes maintain the 50 Ohm impedance and electrical performance required for this connector category. Selection is based on application-specific corrosion resistance requirements and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical mounting specifications: through-hole, right-angle orientation, locking ramp fastening type, and single port configuration. PCB layout and footprint design remain unchanged across all three part numbers.

Q: Do these parts require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling procedures are identical across RF55-33L-T-00-50-A-SH, RF55-23L-T-00-50-G-A-SH, and RF55-32L-T-00-50-A-SH.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.4010. Regulatory status is identical across all parts, enabling unrestricted substitution from a compliance perspective.
