Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TC-600-NF-X qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the TC-600-NF-PL based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

• Connector Style: N Type (identical)
• Connector Type: Jack, Female Socket (identical)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (identical)
• Contact Termination: Solder (identical)
• Shield Termination: Crimp (identical)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (identical)
• Cable Group: LMR-600 (identical)
• Frequency - Max: 6 GHz (identical)
• Fastening Type: Threaded (identical)
• Number of Ports: 1 (identical)

The TC-600-NF-X maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the TC-600-NF-PL across all core RF and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TC-600-NF-X is the active production equivalent for the obsolete TC-600-NF-PL. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Times Microwave Systems and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical RF parameters including impedance, frequency rating, connector geometry, and termination methods.

The TC-600-NF-X is RoHS compliant and carries the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications as the original part. The substitute part offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and improved insertion loss specification (0.1 dB), providing enhanced performance margins for demanding applications.

For applications requiring the TC-600-NF-PL, the TC-600-NF-X provides direct functional replacement with superior environmental and performance characteristics while maintaining full compatibility with LMR-600 cable systems and 50-ohm RF networks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TC-600-NF-X directly replace TC-600-NF-PL in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector style (N Type), gender (female jack), impedance (50 ohms), termination methods (solder contact, crimp shield), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), and frequency rating (6 GHz). The TC-600-NF-X is the active production equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The TC-600-NF-X offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C versus -40°C to 85°C), specified insertion loss (0.1 dB), and different body finish (white bronze versus silver). The center contact material composition differs slightly (beryllium copper and brass versus brass alone).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TC-600-NF-PL and TC-600-NF-X are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The TC-600-NF-X is supplied in bag packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification is not documented.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment.
