RFSMAA2PEGE SMA Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RFSMAA2PEGE is an SMA connector plug manufactured by Bulgin, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications requiring panel mount installation with flange mounting and compression termination. This connector operates across frequencies up to 26.5 GHz and is rated for operating temperatures between -65°C and 165°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector family, enabling component interchangeability in applications where specific mounting configurations or inventory availability require alternative part selection.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RFSMAA2PEGE are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector Style: SMA
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 26.5 GHz
• Voltage Rating: 335 V

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Contact Termination: Compression
• Shield Termination: Screw
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Stainless Steel
• Dielectric Material: Polyetherimide (PEI)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 165°C
• Mating Cycles: 500
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts RFSMAA2PEGA and RFSMAA4PCCA maintain all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications identical to the main part. The primary distinction between RFSMAA2PEGE and RFSMAA2PEGA is manufacturing variation within the same specification. RFSMAA4PCCA differs only in the number of mounting holes (4-hole configuration versus 2-hole), which represents a mechanical variation that does not affect electrical performance or environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RFSMAA2PEGE, RFSMAA2PEGA, and RFSMAA4PCCA—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical performance specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by mounting hole requirements and inventory availability.

RFSMAA2PEGE and RFSMAA2PEGA are functionally equivalent 2-hole flange mount configurations. Both maintain 744 and 741 units in stock respectively and are suitable for applications requiring standard 2-hole panel mounting.

RFSMAA4PCCA provides a 4-hole flange mount configuration with the same electrical and environmental specifications. This variant is selected when panel designs require four-point mechanical fastening. Current inventory for RFSMAA4PCCA is 1057 units.

Selection should be based on panel mounting hole pattern requirements. All three parts deliver identical RF performance, impedance characteristics, frequency response, and environmental operating parameters. The choice between 2-hole and 4-hole configurations is a mechanical design decision with no impact on electrical functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RFSMAA2PEGA be used as a direct replacement for RFSMAA2PEGE?

A: Yes. Both parts are 2-hole flange mount SMA connectors with identical electrical specifications, impedance, frequency response, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. They are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between RFSMAA2PEGE and RFSMAA4PCCA?

A: The primary difference is the mounting hole configuration. RFSMAA2PEGE features a 2-hole flange mount, while RFSMAA4PCCA features a 4-hole flange mount. All electrical parameters, impedance, frequency response, and environmental ratings are identical. Selection depends on panel design requirements.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for 26.5 GHz applications?

A: Yes. RFSMAA2PEGE, RFSMAA2PEGA, and RFSMAA4PCCA all support maximum frequency operation to 26.5 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance.

Q: Do these connectors require special handling or storage?

A: All three parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: All three parts operate across -65°C to 165°C, suitable for industrial and high-temperature applications.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. RFSMAA2PEGE, RFSMAA2PEGA, and RFSMAA4PCCA are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: How many mating cycles are these connectors rated for?

A: All three parts are rated for 500 mating cycles.

Q: What materials are used in the connector construction?
