SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM is an SMP Connector Jack with Male Pin configuration manufactured by Amphenol RF. This surface mount coaxial connector operates at 50 Ohms impedance with a maximum frequency rating of 20 GHz and is designed for RF/microwave applications requiring reliable solder termination. The part is Active status and ROHS3 Compliant. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, specific material requirements, or operational temperature range constraints for particular application environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: SMP
• Connector Type: Jack, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Frequency - Max: 20 GHz
• Number of Ports: 1
• Dielectric Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Mating Cycles: 500
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.4010

Allowable Variations:

• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper or Brass
• Body Material: Beryllium Copper or Brass
• Operating Temperature Range: May differ if application requirements permit
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: May vary
• Housing Color: Gold (consistent across all parts)

The substitute part SMP-MSLD-PCS20T meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM and SMP-MSLD-PCS20T are Active status products manufactured by Amphenol RF and are ROHS3 Compliant. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM is suitable for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 165°C) and Beryllium Copper contact materials. This part supports high-temperature environments and demanding thermal cycling conditions.

SMP-MSLD-PCS20T is suitable for applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range and where Brass contact materials are acceptable. This substitute offers higher inventory availability (5072 Pcs vs 952 Pcs) and is classified with MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Both parts share identical RF performance characteristics (50 Ohms, 20 GHz maximum frequency) and mechanical specifications (SMP style, snap-on fastening, 500 mating cycles). Selection should be based on the specific operating temperature requirements of the target application and material compatibility constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMP-MSLD-PCS20T be used as a direct replacement for SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM in all applications?

A: SMP-MSLD-PCS20T is a parametric equivalent for RF and mechanical specifications. However, the operating temperature range differs: SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM operates from -65°C to 165°C, while SMP-MSLD-PCS20T operates from -40°C to 85°C. Substitution is valid only if the application operates within the -40°C to 85°C range. Additionally, the center contact and body materials differ (Beryllium Copper vs Brass), which may affect performance in specific corrosive or high-reliability environments.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: The following electrical parameters must be identical: 50 Ohms impedance, 20 GHz maximum frequency, Solder contact termination, and Solder shield termination. Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. No packaging differences exist.

Q: What is the significance of the different center contact materials?

A: SMP-MSLD-PSR-NM uses Beryllium Copper, while SMP-MSLD-PCS20T uses Brass. Both materials are gold-plated and suitable for 50 Ohm RF applications. Material selection may impact mechanical durability, corrosion resistance, and performance in specific environmental conditions.

Q: How do the mating cycle ratings compare?

A: Both parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and connector lifespan under normal use conditions.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.4010. Both are Active status products from Amphenol RF.
