EZ-200-TM-RP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EZ-200-TM-RP is an RP-TNC Connector Plug with female socket configuration, manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems. This coaxial RF connector is designed for 50-ohm free-hanging (in-line) applications with push-on contact termination and crimp shield termination. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EZ-200-TM-RP is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Style & Type: The RP-TNC configuration with female socket termination is the primary functional requirement. Substitutes must maintain this connector geometry and polarity.

Impedance: All substitutes must operate at 50 ohms to ensure signal integrity and return loss characteristics.

Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging (in-line) mounting is required for direct cable integration without additional mechanical fixtures.

Contact & Shield Termination: Push-on contact termination with crimp shield termination defines the mechanical interface with the cable assembly.

Operating Environment: Temperature range and voltage rating establish the operational envelope for the application.

The substitute parts identified below maintain these core parameters while offering variations in cable group compatibility and product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EZ-600-TM-RP (Parametric Equivalent): This part maintains identical connector style (RP-TNC), contact type (female socket), contact termination (push on), and operating temperature range as the EZ-200-TM-RP. The primary difference is cable group compatibility (LMR-600 versus LMR-200). This substitute is active in production status and RoHS compliant, providing continuity for applications where LMR-600 cable integration is acceptable.

EZ-195-TM-RP-X (MFR Recommended): This part represents a connector style change from RP-TNC to QMA, with corresponding changes in contact type (male pin versus female socket) and contact termination (crimp versus push on). The fastening mechanism changes from threaded to snap-on. This substitute is active in production and offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and higher frequency capability (8 GHz). Selection of this part requires mechanical and electrical redesign of the mating interface and cable assembly.

Both substitute parts are active products with current RoHS compliance certifications, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EZ-600-TM-RP directly replace EZ-200-TM-RP in existing assemblies?

A: EZ-600-TM-RP maintains the same connector style, contact configuration, and termination method as EZ-200-TM-RP. The cable group difference (LMR-600 versus LMR-200) requires verification that the mating cable assembly is compatible with LMR-600 specifications. Mechanical fit and electrical performance are preserved if cable compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Why does EZ-195-TM-RP-X have different connector specifications?

A: EZ-195-TM-RP-X uses QMA connector style instead of RP-TNC, resulting in different contact geometry (male pin versus female socket) and termination method (crimp versus push on). This part is identified as manufacturer-recommended but requires complete redesign of the mating interface and cable assembly.

Q: What is the significance of product status (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: Obsolete parts have ended production and may have limited inventory availability. Active parts are in current production with assured long-term supply. Both substitute parts are active, providing supply continuity for new designs or system replacements.

Q: Are there temperature or frequency limitations when substituting?

A: EZ-600-TM-RP operates within the same temperature and frequency envelope as EZ-200-TM-RP. EZ-195-TM-RP-X offers extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and higher frequency capability (8 GHz), but these are enhancements rather than limitations. Application requirements determine whether these extended specifications are necessary.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: EZ-200-TM-RP packaging is not specified. EZ-195-TM-RP-X and EZ-600-TM-RP are supplied in bag packaging. Verify that packaging format meets procurement and handling requirements for your application.
