RFSMAA4PCCE SMA Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RFSMAA4PCCE is an SMA connector plug manufactured by Bulgin, designed for 50 Ohm RF applications requiring panel mount installation with four-hole flange mounting. This male pin connector utilizes compression contact termination and screw shield termination, operating across a frequency range up to 26.5 GHz. The connector is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative mounting configurations or when inventory constraints require component alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RFSMAA4PCCE are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Bulgin SMA connector family. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector Style: SMA
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 26.5 GHz
• Contact Termination: Compression
• Shield Termination: Screw
• Voltage Rating: 335 V
• Operating Temperature: -65°C ~ 165°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Mounting Feature: Flange
• Fastening Type: Threaded

Allowable Variation:

• Mounting hole configuration (2-hole vs. 4-hole flange)

The RFSMAA4PCCE with four-hole flange mounting is substitutable with RFSMAA2PEGA (two-hole flange) and RFSMAA4PCCA (four-hole flange) when panel layout and mechanical mounting requirements permit the alternative hole configuration. All three parts maintain identical electrical performance and environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RFSMAA4PCCE Primary Application: The RFSMAA4PCCE is the specified component for applications requiring four-hole flange panel mount configuration. This part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for deployment in standard RF applications up to 26.5 GHz.

RFSMAA4PCCA Equivalent Selection: The RFSMAA4PCCA provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RFSMAA4PCCE, maintaining identical four-hole flange mounting configuration. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, environmental ratings, and compliance certifications. Selection between these two parts is based on inventory availability and procurement lead time, as they are functionally interchangeable.

RFSMAA2PEGA Alternative Selection: The RFSMAA2PEGA is substitutable when panel layout constraints permit two-hole flange mounting instead of four-hole configuration. This part maintains all electrical performance parameters and environmental ratings identical to the RFSMAA4PCCE. Mechanical compatibility requires verification that the panel mounting interface accommodates the two-hole flange pattern.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4010. Selection among these parts does not introduce regulatory or compliance constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RFSMAA2PEGA replace RFSMAA4PCCE in existing designs?

A: RFSMAA2PEGA is electrically equivalent to RFSMAA4PCCE but features a two-hole flange mounting configuration instead of four-hole. Substitution is possible only when the panel mounting interface is redesigned or when the existing panel layout accommodates two-hole flange mounting. Electrical performance and RF characteristics remain identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between RFSMAA4PCCE and RFSMAA4PCCA?

A: Both parts feature identical four-hole flange mounting and are electrically equivalent. The parts are direct substitutes with no functional differences. Selection is based on inventory availability and procurement timing.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same frequency range?

A: Yes. RFSMAA4PCCE, RFSMAA2PEGA, and RFSMAA4PCCA all operate at maximum frequency of 26.5 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance. Frequency performance is identical across all three parts.

Q: Do these connectors require special handling or storage?

A: All three parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard component storage conditions apply.

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

A: All three parts operate across -65°C to 165°C. Temperature performance is identical across RFSMAA4PCCE, RFSMAA2PEGA, and RFSMAA4PCCA.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for these connectors?

A: All three parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating mechanical durability for repeated connection and disconnection operations.

Q: Can these SMA connectors be used interchangeably with other connector types?

A: No. These parts are SMA-specific connectors and are not compatible with other RF connector styles. Connector style must match the mating interface in the application.
