Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TM2RE-1208(50) is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Jack)
• Contact configuration (6p4c RJ11/RJ14 standard)
• Port count (2 ports)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Spatial orientation (Vertical)
• Solder termination capability
• Unshielded design
• Contact material and finish specifications (Phosphor Bronze with Gold plating)
• Housing material (PBT)
• Board lock feature presence
• RoHS compliance status

The GPX-2-64 manufactured by Kycon, Inc. meets all specified substitution criteria across these parameters, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GPX-2-64 is the designated substitute for the obsolete TM2RE-1208(50). Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The GPX-2-64 carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (849 pcs), ensuring procurement viability for new designs and legacy system support.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, satisfying regulatory and moisture sensitivity requirements. The contact finish specification for the GPX-2-64 is documented as flash gold plating, compared to the standard gold finish of the original part. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GPX-2-64 be used as a direct replacement for the TM2RE-1208(50)?

A: Yes. The GPX-2-64 matches all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, port count, mounting method, orientation, termination type, shielding, contact materials, housing material, and board lock functionality.

Q: What is the difference between standard gold and flash gold contact finish?

A: Flash gold plating applies a thinner layer of gold over the base contact material. Both finishes provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for modular connector applications. The functional performance difference is negligible for RJ11/RJ14 jack applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL Level 1 ratings. Both are assigned ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 classifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The TM2RE-1208(50) is obsolete with 1102 pcs listed as new original stock. The GPX-2-64 is active with 849 pcs available as new original stock.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and PCB footprints identical?

A: Both connectors share identical mounting specifications (through-hole, vertical orientation, 2-port configuration). Physical compatibility is established through matching connector type, port count, and mounting method parameters.
