Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the SMP connector family. The substitution criteria are limited to the following parameters provided in the input:

Impedance matching at 50 Ohms, connector type as Plug with Male Pin configuration, through-hole mounting requirement, solder-based contact and shield termination, maximum frequency rating of 40 GHz, snap-on fastening mechanism, brass construction for both center contact and body, PTFE dielectric material, and ROHS3 compliance certification.

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents. Variations in part numbering reflect differences in connector style designation or internal construction details that do not affect the specified electrical and mechanical performance parameters.
