Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the SMP connector series. The substitution criteria are defined by the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

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

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as parametric equivalents and may be substituted in applications where the original part number is unavailable or where inventory management requires alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer's product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS and SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance. The SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL demonstrates higher current inventory levels at 798 pieces compared to 728 pieces for the primary part number. Both connectors are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical construction, and material composition. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and procurement logistics rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical specifications for impedance (50 Ohms), frequency rating (40 GHz), mounting type (through-hole solder), connector style (SMP male plug), and material composition (gold-plated brass with PTFE dielectric).

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting between these part numbers?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mounting type (through-hole), fastening mechanism (snap-on), and physical construction parameters. PCB layout and assembly procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number designations?

A: The part numbers reflect internal Samtec product line coding. The differences in alphanumeric sequences do not indicate functional or electrical variations when all specified parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-frequency RF applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated to 40 GHz maximum frequency and feature 50 Ohm impedance matching, making them suitable for RF and microwave applications within this frequency range.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS and SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected based on current inventory?

A: SMP-PC-P-G-ST-TH2-SHL currently has higher inventory availability (798 pieces) compared to SMP-P-P-ST-TH2-INS (728 pieces). Selection should prioritize procurement lead time and project schedule requirements.
