RFSMAAJC SMA Connector Jack Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RFSMAAJC is an SMA Connector Jack, Female Socket manufactured by Bulgin, designed for 50 Ohm coaxial RF applications. This panel mount bulkhead connector features solder termination for both center contact and shield, supporting frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. The connector is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide procurement flexibility, inventory management options, and continuity of supply for applications requiring SMA jack connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

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.

Parameter Comparison

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?
