CS-NM-MHA N Type Connector Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CS-NM-MHA is an N Type Connector Plug manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for coaxial RF applications with male pin free hanging (in-line) solder termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where legacy component compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CS-NM-MHA are identified based on strict equivalence of the following core parameters:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Shield Termination: Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Number of Ports: 1

The Winchester Interconnect 110A108B meets all mandatory substitution criteria for the CS-NM-MHA. Both components share identical connector topology, termination method, and mechanical interface specifications. Substitution is valid where the electrical and mechanical requirements of the application align with the parameters of the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Winchester Interconnect 110A108B (part number 110A108) is an active product with RoHS compliance certification, whereas the CS-NM-MHA is obsolete. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the 110A108B is the appropriate selection based on product status and regulatory compliance. Both components share identical core mechanical and electrical interface specifications required for N Type connector plug applications.

The 110A108B provides additional documented specifications including maximum frequency (18 GHz), operating temperature range (−55°C to 200°C), voltage rating (1000 V), mating cycle rating (500), and insertion loss (0.2 dB). These parameters are not specified for the CS-NM-MHA but are available for the substitute part to support system design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Winchester Interconnect 110A108B directly replace the Crystek CS-NM-MHA?

A: Yes. Both components are N Type connector plugs with male pins, solder termination, clamp shield termination, free hanging (in-line) mounting, and threaded fastening. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What are the material differences between these parts?

A: The CS-NM-MHA uses beryllium copper center contacts with gold plating and a stainless steel body. The 110A108B uses brass center contacts with nickel plating and a brass body. Both configurations are suitable for N Type connector applications; material selection depends on specific application requirements for corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and contact wear characteristics.

Q: Is the 110A108B suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: The 110A108B is specified for operation up to 18 GHz. Frequency capability for the CS-NM-MHA is not documented. Application frequency requirements must be evaluated against the 110A108B specification.

Q: What is the difference between the 110A108 and 110A108B part numbers?

A: The 110A108 is the base product number. The 110A108B is the specific variant. Verify the exact variant required for your application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 110A108B is RoHS compliant. RoHS status for the CS-NM-MHA is not specified in the available documentation.

Q: What cable groups are compatible with these connectors?

A: The CS-NM-MHA is specified for Harbour LL142 cable. The 110A108B is specified for RG-8 and RG-213 cables. Verify cable compatibility with your system requirements.
