Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

  • Connector Style and Type: SMA Jack, Female Socket configuration
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms
  • Mounting Configuration: Panel Mount Bulkhead
  • Termination Method: Solder for both center contact and shield
  • Frequency Rating: 26.5 GHz maximum
  • Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 165°C
  • Voltage Rating: 335 V
  • Mating Cycles: 500
  • Material Specifications: Beryllium Copper center contact, Stainless Steel body, Polyetherimide dielectric
  • Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 ECCN classification

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

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RFSMAAJE and RFSMAAJA are Active products manufactured by Bulgin with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement requirements:

RFSMAAJE: 881 pieces in stock. Primary selection for immediate procurement needs.

RFSMAAJA: 1031 pieces in stock. Alternative selection offering higher inventory availability.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial RF applications. The identical parametric specifications ensure direct interchangeability in all circuit applications without modification to PCB layouts, panel cutouts, or signal routing. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no special handling or storage requirements during manufacturing or assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RFSMAAJA be used as a direct replacement for RFSMAAJE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Direct substitution is supported without design modifications.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute for RFSMAAJE?

A: Substitute parts must match all critical parameters: SMA Jack Female Socket configuration, 50 Ohm impedance, panel mount bulkhead design, solder termination, 26.5 GHz frequency rating, -65°C to 165°C operating temperature, 335 V voltage rating, 500 mating cycles, and identical material composition (Beryllium Copper center contact, Stainless Steel body, Polyetherimide dielectric).

Q: Are there differences in packaging between RFSMAAJE and RFSMAAJA?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. No packaging format differences exist between the two part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number RFSMA?

A: The base product number RFSMA identifies the core SMA connector family. Both RFSMAAJE and RFSMAAJA derive from this base platform with identical performance characteristics.

Q: Do both parts require the same PCB footprint and panel cutout dimensions?

A: Yes. Identical mounting specifications (Panel Mount Bulkhead, Threaded fastening) ensure both parts use the same mechanical interface and installation requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both substitute parts?

A: Both RFSMAAJE and RFSMAAJA are ROHS3 Compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.4010.

Q: Is special handling required for either part during assembly?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating standard handling procedures are sufficient without specialized storage or drying requirements.
