Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMP-P-P-G-ST-TH2-PIN are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the SMP connector series. The following critical parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

All identified substitute parts maintain these parameters identically to the main part. Variations in part numbering reflect minor design or manufacturing differences that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter set.

2. Active Production Status: All three parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability and support from the manufacturer.

3. Regulatory Compliance: All parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements, suitable for applications requiring environmental and regulatory adherence.

4. Parametric Equivalence: The parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified parameter set, supporting direct substitution in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS be used as a direct replacement for SMP-P-P-G-ST-TH2-PIN?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent 50 Ohm SMP male pin plugs with through-hole solder mounting, identical impedance, frequency rating, and material specifications. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers if they are equivalent?

A: The part numbers reflect variations in design or manufacturing specifications that do not affect the electrical or mechanical parameters listed in this reference. All critical parameters—impedance, frequency, mounting type, termination method, and materials—are identical across all three parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SMP-P-P-G-ST-TH2-PIN, SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS, and SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL all carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Which part should I select if inventory is a concern?

A: Inventory levels are: SMP-P-P-G-ST-TH2-PIN (1,070 units), SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL (798 units), and SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS (728 units). Selection should align with procurement lead times and supply chain requirements.

Q: Do these connectors support the same frequency range?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for maximum frequency operation up to 40 GHz, supporting identical RF applications.

Q: Are the solder termination specifications identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts feature solder contact termination and solder shield termination, with identical center contact and body materials (brass with gold plating).
