Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RFSMAAJC are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

  • Connector Style: SMA
  • Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms
  • Mounting Type: Panel Mount with Bulkhead feature
  • Contact and Shield Termination: Solder
  • Frequency capability: 26.5 GHz maximum
  • Operating Temperature range: -65°C ~ 165°C
  • Voltage Rating: 335 V
  • Mating Cycles: 500
  • RoHS3 Compliance
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. No deviations in electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental ratings are permitted for substitution eligibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RFSMAAJC and RFSMAAJA are Active product status connectors manufactured by Bulgin with full RoHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement requirements rather than technical performance differences.

RFSMAAJC currently maintains 809 pieces in stock, while RFSMAAJA maintains 1031 pieces in stock. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring SMA jack connectors with 50 Ohm impedance, panel mount bulkhead configuration, and solder termination up to 26.5 GHz operating frequency.

The identical compliance certifications (RoHS3, EAR99 ECCN classification, and 8536.69.4010 HTSUS code) confirm regulatory equivalence. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no special handling requirements for either part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RFSMAAJA be used as a direct replacement for RFSMAAJC?
