SMA-J-W-H-ST-BHA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMA-J-W-H-ST-BHA is an SMA Connector Jack manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed as a female socket with 50 Ohms impedance for panel mount applications. This coaxial RF connector features solder contact termination and crimp shield termination, operating at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The connector is constructed with brass body, gold finish, and PTFE dielectric material, with gold-plated copper alloy center contacts. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when component availability requires alternative sourcing, manufacturing transitions occur, or inventory constraints necessitate functionally equivalent alternatives that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The identified substitute parts maintain 100% parametric alignment across all specified electrical, mechanical, material, and compliance attributes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SMA-J-W-H-ST-BHA, SMA-J-C-F-ST-BH3-CBDY, and SMA-J-C-F-ST-BH4-CBDY—maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring SMA female socket connectors with 50 Ohms impedance and 6 GHz maximum frequency operation.

All parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99, meeting regulatory requirements for standard commercial RF connector applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements, as all three parts are parametrically equivalent and interchangeable for panel mount solder-terminated SMA jack applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMA-J-C-F-ST-BH3-CBDY and SMA-J-C-F-ST-BH4-CBDY be used interchangeably with SMA-J-W-H-ST-BHA?

A: Yes. All three parts are parametrically equivalent across electrical specifications (50 Ohms impedance, 6 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (panel mount bulkhead with threaded fastening), contact termination (solder), and material composition (brass body with gold finish, PTFE dielectric, gold-plated copper alloy center contacts). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this SMA connector?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: connector style (SMA), connector type (jack, female socket), impedance (50 Ohms), contact termination (solder), shield termination (crimp), mounting type (panel mount), mounting feature (bulkhead front side nut), fastening type (threaded), maximum frequency (6 GHz), body material (brass), body finish (gold), center contact material (copper alloy), center contact plating (gold), and dielectric material (PTFE).

Q: Are there differences in the part numbers that indicate functional variations?

A: The part numbers contain different designations (W-H versus C-F, and BH3 versus BH4 suffixes), but these variations do not result in electrical or mechanical parameter differences as specified in the provided data. All three parts maintain identical specifications for RF performance, impedance, frequency rating, and physical mounting characteristics.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: SMA-J-W-H-ST-BHA has 1055 pieces in stock, SMA-J-C-F-ST-BH3-CBDY has 891 pieces in stock, and SMA-J-C-F-ST-BH4-CBDY has 839 pieces in stock. All are listed as new original inventory.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, classified under ECCN EAR99, and assigned the same HTSUS code 8536.69.4010, indicating identical regulatory and trade classification status.
