SMP-PL-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SMP-PL-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL is a 50 Ohm SMP plug connector manufactured by Samtec Inc., designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This male pin connector operates at frequencies up to 40 GHz and features snap-on fastening with limited detent. The part is currently active in production with 801 pieces in stock inventory.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits alternative sourcing from qualified manufacturers. Substitute connectors must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SMP-PL-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL and 19S107-400L5 are active production parts with confirmed inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Primary Selection (Samtec SMP-PL-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL):

• Use when design specifications explicitly reference Samtec components
• Preferred when ROHS3 compliance documentation is required for the complete bill of materials
• Recommended for applications where established supplier relationships with Samtec are in place

Substitute Selection (Rosenberger 19S107-400L5):

• Use when Samtec inventory is unavailable or lead times exceed project requirements
• Suitable for applications where Rosenberger qualification is acceptable
• Applicable when higher inventory levels (1107 pieces) provide supply chain advantages
• Compatible with designs that do not mandate specific manufacturer sourcing

Both parts carry identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms, 40 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical mounting characteristics (through-hole solder, snap-on fastening), and regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4010). The parts are functionally interchangeable for RF applications requiring SMP plug connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Rosenberger 19S107-400L5 be used as a direct replacement for the Samtec SMP-PL-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohm impedance, 40 GHz frequency rating), mechanical mounting characteristics (through-hole solder termination, snap-on fastening), and physical form factor (SMP male plug). The parts are functionally interchangeable in RF circuit applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: connector style (SMP), connector type (plug, male pin), impedance (50 Ohms), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder contact and shield), fastening mechanism (snap-on), frequency rating (40 GHz), and port count (1). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Are there differences in center contact material between these parts?

A: Yes. The Samtec part uses brass center contacts, while the Rosenberger part uses beryllium copper. Both materials are suitable for 50 Ohm RF applications and maintain electrical performance within the 40 GHz operating range.

Q: What is the difference in dielectric material?

A: The Samtec connector uses polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric, while the Rosenberger connector uses resin dielectric. Both materials support the specified 40 GHz frequency range and 50 Ohm impedance.

Q: Does the Rosenberger part have operating temperature specifications?

A: Yes. The Rosenberger 19S107-400L5 operates from -65°C to 155°C. Operating temperature range for the Samtec part is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for the Rosenberger part?

A: The Rosenberger 19S107-400L5 is rated for 500 mating cycles. Mating cycle information for the Samtec part is not provided in the available data.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Samtec SMP-PL-P-F-ST-TH2-SHL is confirmed ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the Rosenberger 19S107-400L5 is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What packaging is available for each part?

A: The Samtec part packaging is not specified. The Rosenberger 19S107-400L5 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supplier qualification requirements and design specifications. Both parts are active production items. Samtec is preferred when ROHS3 documentation is mandatory. Rosenberger is suitable when equivalent electrical and mechanical performance is the primary requirement.
