TC-100-NM N-Type Male Coaxial Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TC-100-NM is an N-Type male plug coaxial connector manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems, designed for RF applications requiring 50-ohm impedance. This connector features solder contact termination with crimp shield termination, rated for operation up to 3 GHz and compatible with LMR-100 cable group. The TC-100-NM is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TC-100-NM is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: N-Type male plug configuration
• Impedance: 50-ohm characteristic impedance
• Contact Termination: Solder termination for center contact
• Shield Termination: Crimp termination for shield
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging (in-line) orientation
• Cable Compatibility: LMR-100 cable group compatibility
• Frequency Rating: Maximum operating frequency of 3 GHz or higher
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range and voltage rating compatibility

The SC-100-NM qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on matching these core electrical and mechanical parameters within the Amphenol Times Microwave Systems product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC-100-NM is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TC-100-NM. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: N-Type male plug configuration, 50-ohm impedance, solder contact termination, crimp shield termination, and LMR-100 cable group compatibility.

The primary distinction is product status: TC-100-NM is obsolete while SC-100-NM is active production. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8536.69.4010), ensuring regulatory and compliance continuity.

For new designs or component replacement requiring the TC-100-NM specification, the SC-100-NM provides direct functional equivalence with the advantage of active manufacturer support and ongoing availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (50-ohm impedance, 3 GHz maximum frequency), mechanical configuration (N-Type male plug, free hanging in-line mounting), and termination methods (solder contact, crimp shield). They are functionally equivalent for LMR-100 cable applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The TC-100-NM is classified as obsolete. The SC-100-NM is the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between TC-100-NM and SC-100-NM?

A: The TC-100-NM packaging specification was not provided in the original documentation. The SC-100-NM is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TC-100-NM and SC-100-NM are RoHS compliant and classified under identical export control (EAR99) and tariff code (HTSUS 8536.69.4010) designations.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for LMR-100 cable group compatibility, maintaining 50-ohm impedance matching across the connection interface.
