TC-200-TMC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TC-200-TMC is a TNC male plug coaxial connector manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems, designed for 50-ohm RF applications with free-hanging (in-line) solder termination and clamp shield termination. This connector is rated for operation up to 3 GHz and is compatible with LMR-200 cable group applications.

The TC-200-TMC is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for applications requiring TNC male plug connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TC-200-TMC is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector style (TNC)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pin)
• Impedance (50 Ohms)
• Contact termination method (Solder)
• Shield termination method (Clamp)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Frequency capability (3 GHz maximum)
• Cable group compatibility (LMR-200)
• Voltage rating (500 V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Material composition and plating specifications
• RoHS compliance status

The TC-200-TM-X is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share the same base product number (TC-200) and maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TC-200-TM-X is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TC-200-TMC. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems and share the same base product number, indicating design lineage and compatibility.

The TC-200-TM-X carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain identical export control classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8536.69.4010), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) is identical for both parts, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements. RoHS compliance status is maintained in the substitute part, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Selection of the TC-200-TM-X is appropriate for applications previously specified with the TC-200-TMC, provided that all electrical and mechanical parameters documented in the main part specification are confirmed to be met by the substitute part documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the TC-200-TMC classified as obsolete? A: The TC-200-TMC is no longer in active production. The TC-200-TM-X represents the current active equivalent from the manufacturer.

Q: Can the TC-200-TM-X be used as a direct replacement for the TC-200-TMC? A: Both parts share the same base product number (TC-200) and are manufactured by the same supplier. Confirmation of electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence is required through detailed part specifications before implementation.

Q: What are the critical parameters for TNC male plug connector substitution? A: Connector style, connector type (male pin), impedance (50 Ohms), contact termination (solder), shield termination (clamp), mounting type (free hanging/in-line), frequency rating, cable group compatibility, voltage rating, and operating temperature range must all match.

Q: Are there packaging differences between TC-200-TMC and TC-200-TM-X? A: The TC-200-TMC packaging is not specified in the provided data. The TC-200-TM-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed based on application needs.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements? A: The TC-200-TMC is confirmed RoHS compliant. RoHS compliance status for the TC-200-TM-X is not specified in the provided substitute data and should be verified through the manufacturer.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors? A: Both the TC-200-TMC and TC-200-TM-X are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
