Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMP-PC-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the SMP connector series. The following electrical and mechanical parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector Series: SMP
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Frequency - Max: 40 GHz
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Snap-On
• Number of Ports: 1
• Body Material: Brass
• Dielectric Material: PTFE
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters. Variations in part numbering reflect differences in connector style designation or internal configuration codes that do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in the specified application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SMP-PC-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL, SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS, and SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL—are active production components from Samtec Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Each part meets the specified electrical requirements for 50 Ohm, 40 GHz SMP plug connectors with through-hole solder termination.

Selection between these parts is based on availability and internal connector configuration requirements as indicated by part number designation. All three parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring SMP male pin connectors with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS be used as a direct replacement for SMP-PC-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (50 Ohms, 40 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (through-hole solder termination, snap-on fastening), and material specifications (brass body with gold plating, PTFE dielectric). The part number variation reflects internal connector style designation only.

Q: What is the difference between SMP-PC-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL and SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent SMP male pin plugs with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The part number difference indicates a variation in internal connector configuration code. Both are suitable for 50 Ohm through-hole solder applications up to 40 GHz.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. SMP-PC-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL, SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS, and SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL are all ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: All three parts are designed for through-hole mounting with solder termination for both center contact and shield. Fastening is accomplished via snap-on mechanism.

Q: What is the maximum operating frequency for these connectors?

A: All three parts are rated for operation up to 40 GHz, suitable for high-frequency RF applications requiring 50 Ohm impedance matching.
