Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SMP-J-C-HG-RA-CA5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Impedance (50 Ohms), maximum frequency rating (40 GHz), and connector type (Jack, Female Socket) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting configuration (Free Hanging, Right Angle), contact termination method (Solder), shield termination (Crimp), and fastening type (Snap-On) must be preserved.

Material Specifications: Body material (Brass), body finish (Gold), center contact material (Brass), center contact plating (Gold), and dielectric material (PTFE) must match exactly.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and Active product status are mandatory for substitution eligibility.

The identified substitute part SMP-J-C-GF-RA-CS5 meets all these criteria and is therefore a valid parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SMP-J-C-HG-RA-CA5 and SMP-J-C-GF-RA-CS5 are Active products manufactured by Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance. All electrical, mechanical, and material specifications are identical between the two parts, confirming parametric equivalence for RF connector applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance and 40 GHz frequency capability.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration. SMP-J-C-HG-RA-CA5 is supplied in unspecified packaging, while SMP-J-C-GF-RA-CS5 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Selection between these equivalents should be based on procurement requirements, inventory management practices, and packaging compatibility with assembly processes.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the SMP-J-C-HG-RA-CA5 is specified, provided packaging requirements are compatible with the receiving system.
