Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: SMPM
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 65 GHz
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Number of Ports: 1
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 meets all mandatory matching parameters. Both parts belong to the SMPM connector series, share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms impedance, 65 GHz maximum frequency), employ identical termination methods (solder contact and shield termination), and maintain equivalent mechanical characteristics (surface mount, snap-on fastening, full detent engagement). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 and SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 are functionally equivalent for RF coaxial connector applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance and 65 GHz frequency operation. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Compliance & Regulatory: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory standing for procurement and export purposes.

Product Status: Both parts maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Inventory Availability: SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 offers higher current inventory (1183 pieces) compared to SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 (671 pieces), providing enhanced supply chain security for high-volume production requirements.

Packaging: SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 packaging specification is not provided. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 and SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate at identical impedance (50 Ohms) and maximum frequency (65 GHz), with matching contact and shield termination methods (solder). They are electrically equivalent for RF circuit applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are body material composition and dielectric material. SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 uses Brass body with PEEK dielectric, while SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 uses Beryllium Copper body with PTFE dielectric. Both configurations maintain equivalent electrical performance at the specified operating parameters.

Q: Can I substitute SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 for SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style (SMPM), type (Plug, Male Pin), mounting method (Surface Mount), and fastening mechanism (Snap-On). They are mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution in circuit assemblies.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature specification for SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1?

A: SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 specifies operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C. This parameter is not provided for SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2. For applications requiring defined temperature performance specifications, SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 provides explicit thermal operating limits.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS codes (8536.69.4010), ensuring equivalent regulatory and export compliance.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on specific design requirements and supply chain considerations. Both parts are functionally equivalent. SMPM-PF-P-EG-ST-SM-1 offers higher inventory availability and explicit operating temperature specification. SMPM-PF-P-EE-ST-SM-2 may be selected based on body material or dielectric material preferences specific to application requirements.
