Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TC-200-SM-RA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Base product number alignment (TC-200 series)
• Connector configuration: SMA-male plug, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: crimp connection
• Manufacturer consistency: Amphenol Times Microwave Systems
• Compliance certifications: RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating
• Product status transition: from obsolete to active production status

The TC-200-SM-RA-D qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical base product number, connector type, orientation, and termination method, while transitioning to active product status with current manufacturing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TC-200-SM-RA-D is the designated substitute for the obsolete TC-200-SM-RA. Selection is based on:

• Identical connector specification and mechanical interface
• Maintained RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 certification
• Active production status ensuring supply chain continuity
• Consistent manufacturer sourcing from Amphenol Times Microwave Systems
• Standard bag packaging suitable for component integration workflows

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TC-200-SM-RA-D be used as a direct replacement for TC-200-SM-RA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical base product number (TC-200), connector type (SMA-male plug right-angle), termination method (crimp), and compliance ratings. The primary difference is product status transition from obsolete to active.

Q: What is the significance of the "-D" suffix in TC-200-SM-RA-D?

A: The "-D" designation indicates the active production variant of the TC-200 series. This suffix distinguishes the current manufacturing version from the obsolete TC-200-SM-RA.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating. The TC-200-SM-RA-D carries EAR99 export classification, which is standard for this product category.

Q: What packaging is provided with TC-200-SM-RA-D?

A: TC-200-SM-RA-D is supplied in bag packaging, suitable for standard component procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the original TC-200-SM-RA classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects discontinuation of the original production line. The TC-200-SM-RA-D represents the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability of this connector specification.
