TC-100-NF N-Type Female Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TC-100-NF is an N-Type female jack coaxial connector manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems, designed for 50-ohm RF applications with free-hanging in-line mounting. This connector features solder contact termination and crimp shield termination, rated for operation up to 3 GHz and temperatures from -55°C to 155°C.

The TC-100-NF is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure continued availability for repair and replacement applications, and support procurement strategies for legacy equipment utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TC-100-NF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: N-Type female jack configuration
• Impedance: 50-ohm characteristic impedance
• Contact Termination: Solder connection method
• Shield Termination: Crimp attachment
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line orientation
• Frequency Rating: Maximum 3 GHz operational capability
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range -55°C to 155°C and voltage rating of 335 V
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The SC-100-NF is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both connectors share the same base product family designation (TC and SC series respectively) and are manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems, ensuring design compatibility within the N-Type 50-ohm connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC-100-NF is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TC-100-NF. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (50-ohm impedance, N-Type female jack configuration) and share equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS compliant, EAR99 export classification, identical HTSUS code).

The SC-100-NF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Selection of the SC-100-NF for new designs or replacement applications eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with systems originally specified for the TC-100-NF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SC-100-NF directly replace the TC-100-NF in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are N-Type female jack configurations with 50-ohm impedance, identical contact and shield termination methods, and equivalent environmental ratings. The SC-100-NF is the manufacturer-designated substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TC-100-NF and SC-100-NF?

A: The TC-100-NF is obsolete, while the SC-100-NF maintains active product status. Both share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the N-Type 50-ohm connector family.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The TC-100-NF packaging specification is not provided. The SC-100-NF is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement process.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TC-100-NF and SC-100-NF are RoHS compliant, classified under ECCN EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4010).

Q: What cable group is compatible with these connectors?

A: The TC-100-NF is specified for the LMR-100A cable group. Confirm cable compatibility specifications for the SC-100-NF with the manufacturer or technical documentation.
