Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EZ-600-NF-BH-X qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: N Type
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Contact Termination: Push On
• Shield Termination: Crimp
• Cable Group: LMR-600
• Center Contact Material: Beryllium Copper
• Body Material: Brass
• Center Contact Plating: Gold
• Dielectric Material: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

The EZ-600-NF-BH-X maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part through identical core specifications. Both connectors support the same cable group (LMR-600), impedance rating (50 Ohms), and contact materials, ensuring functional interchangeability in RF applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EZ-600-NF-BH-X is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete EZ-600-NF-BH. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The original EZ-600-NF-BH is obsolete, while the EZ-600-NF-BH-X maintains active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (19,131 units versus 750 units).

Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute part exceeds the frequency specification of the original (8 GHz versus 2.5 GHz maximum) and supports an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), providing enhanced performance margins for existing applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical core specifications for connector style, type, impedance, mounting configuration, contact termination, and cable group compatibility, ensuring direct mechanical interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EZ-600-NF-BH-X be used as a direct replacement for the EZ-600-NF-BH?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for N Type 50 Ohm panel mount bulkhead configuration with push-on contact and crimp shield termination. The substitute part is compatible with LMR-600 cable group applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The EZ-600-NF-BH-X provides enhanced performance specifications: maximum frequency rating of 8 GHz (versus 2.5 GHz), extended operating temperature range to 125°C (versus 85°C), and includes mounting hardware (gasket, ferrule, nuts, washer). The substitute also features tin body finish instead of silver and specifies 500 mating cycles.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the mounting feature differences?

A: The EZ-600-NF-BH-X includes "Front Side Nut" specification in addition to bulkhead mounting. This represents an enhancement to the mounting configuration and does not create incompatibility with applications designed for the original bulkhead mount connector.

Q: What is included with the EZ-600-NF-BH-X?

A: The substitute part includes 6 pieces per connector: 1 connector body, 1 gasket, 1 ferrule, 2 nuts, and 1 washer. The original part does not specify included components.

Q: Does the higher frequency rating of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The EZ-600-NF-BH-X frequency rating of 8 GHz exceeds the original 2.5 GHz specification, providing backward compatibility. Applications operating at or below 2.5 GHz will function identically with the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original EZ-600-NF-BH is RoHS Compliant. The substitute EZ-600-NF-BH-X achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting current regulatory standards.
