Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EZ-400-TM-X and EZ-600-TM-X are qualified substitutes based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between candidates depends on application-specific requirements:

EZ-400-TM-X maintains identical cable group compatibility (LMR-400) with the main part and operates within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

EZ-600-TM-X supports LMR-600 cable group and extends operating temperature range to -65°C to 165°C, providing broader thermal performance envelope. This part also carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Both substitute parts maintain 500 mating cycle rating and 6 GHz maximum frequency specification. Packaging differences (bulk versus bag) do not affect functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EZ-400-TM-X be used as a direct replacement for EZ-400-TM-PL-X?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style, type, impedance, termination methods, mounting configuration, and frequency rating. The primary difference is packaging format (bulk versus bag) and operating temperature range. EZ-400-TM-X operates to 85°C maximum versus 125°C for the main part.

Q: What is the difference between EZ-400-TM-X and EZ-600-TM-X?

A: Both are TNC male plug connectors with identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 6 GHz maximum frequency). The primary differences are cable group compatibility (LMR-400 versus LMR-600), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -65°C to 165°C), body material (aluminum versus brass), and dielectric material (polyethylene versus PTFE).

Q: Are there cable group restrictions when using substitute parts?

A: Yes. EZ-400-TM-X is specified for LMR-400 cable group, while EZ-600-TM-X is specified for LMR-600 cable group. The main part EZ-400-TM-PL-X is specified for LMR-400. Cable group selection must align with the connector specification.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. EZ-400-TM-PL-X carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both EZ-400-TM-X and EZ-600-TM-X carry ROHS3 Compliant certification.

Q: What is the significance of body material differences?

A: EZ-400-TM-X uses aluminum body material while EZ-400-TM-PL-X and EZ-600-TM-X use brass. Both materials are suitable for RF connector applications. Material selection may affect mechanical durability and environmental resistance in specific deployment conditions.

Q: Are mating cycle ratings identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for 500 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability for connection and disconnection operations.
