Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TM2RE-1806(50) qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Connector type: Jack
• Contact configuration: 6P2C (RJ11)
• Port count: 3
• Row configuration: 1
• Mounting method: Through Hole
• Orientation: Vertical
• Termination method: Solder
• Shielding classification: Unshielded
• Board lock feature: Present
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold
• Housing material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 80°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and compliance certification. The TM2RE-1806(50) is an active product with RoHS compliance, whereas the original TM2RE-1806 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TM2RE-1806(50) is the appropriate selection for new designs and procurement activities. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete TM2RE-1806 while offering the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements and industry standards
• Identical electrical performance and mechanical interface specifications
• Same operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity classification
• Tray packaging format supports standard component handling and assembly processes

For applications currently using the obsolete TM2RE-1806, direct substitution with TM2RE-1806(50) requires no circuit modifications or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TM2RE-1806(50) be used as a direct replacement for TM2RE-1806?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, termination type, and operating parameters. The substitute part is fully compatible with existing designs.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The main difference is product status and compliance. TM2RE-1806 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while TM2RE-1806(50) is an active product with RoHS compliance. All functional and physical characteristics are identical.

Q: Does the packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. The packaging format (tray for TM2RE-1806(50)) is a logistics consideration only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The connector itself remains unchanged.

Q: Are there any design considerations when switching from TM2RE-1806 to TM2RE-1806(50)?

A: No design changes are required. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. PCB footprints, mounting holes, and solder pad layouts remain identical.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: TM2RE-1806(50) carries RoHS compliance certification and maintains the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4040) classification as the original part.
