RFNA4PFHMF N Type Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RFNA4PFHMF is an N Type connector plug with male pin configuration manufactured by Bulgin, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications. This panel mount, through-hole solder connector operates across frequencies up to 18 GHz and is rated for -55°C to 155°C operating temperatures. The component is Active product status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring RF signal transmission in industrial and telecommunications applications.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector specification, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit designs without performance degradation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RFNA4PFHMF are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic requires matching specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters: Connector style (N Type), connector type (Plug, Male Pin), impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (18 GHz maximum), voltage rating (500 V), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C).

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (Panel Mount, Through Hole), mounting feature (Flange), contact termination method (Solder), and shield termination method (Solder).

Compliance Parameters: Product status (Active), RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Parts are grouped as substitutes only when all parameters listed above are identical to the main part number. No parameter deviation is permitted for substitute classification.
