Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the TM2REA-1806 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:
- Connector type (Jack)
- Contact configuration (6p2c RJ11)
- Port count (3)
- Mounting method (Through Hole)
- Orientation (90° Right Angle)
- Termination method (Solder)
- Shielding classification (Unshielded)
- Contact material and finish (Phosphor Bronze with Gold plating)
- Housing material (PBT)
- Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 80°C)
- Mechanical features (Board Lock, Panel Stops)
The substitute part TM2REA-1806(50) maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the main part across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format and product status classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The TM2REA-1806(50) is the direct substitute for the obsolete TM2REA-1806. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The TM2REA-1806(50) offers the following advantages:
- Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support and availability
- RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements for new designs and production
- Tray packaging format supports higher-volume manufacturing workflows
- Equivalent performance across all operating conditions and environmental specifications
For applications where legacy compliance or specific packaging requirements mandate the original TM2REA-1806, the part remains available in current inventory. For new designs or production transitions, the TM2REA-1806(50) provides equivalent functionality with improved supply chain sustainability and regulatory alignment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are TM2REA-1806 and TM2REA-1806(50) electrically identical?
A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, contact configuration (6p2c RJ11), contact material (Phosphor Bronze with Gold finish), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 80°C). They are direct functional equivalents.
Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?
A: The primary differences are product status, packaging format, and RoHS compliance. TM2REA-1806 is obsolete with standard packaging and RoHS non-compliant status. TM2REA-1806(50) is active, supplied in tray packaging, and RoHS compliant.
Q: Can TM2REA-1806(50) replace TM2REA-1806 in existing designs?
A: Yes. The TM2REA-1806(50) is mechanically and electrically equivalent. It maintains the same through-hole mounting footprint, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, board lock, and panel stop features. No design modifications are required.
Q: Does the tray packaging of TM2REA-1806(50) affect component performance?
A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging is a distribution and handling specification only.
Q: Is RoHS compliance a functional difference?
A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and material composition specification. Both parts function identically in applications. RoHS compliance becomes relevant for new designs subject to regulatory requirements or customer specifications.
Q: What is the base product number for these connectors?
A: The base product number is TM2RE, from which both TM2REA-1806 and TM2REA-1806(50) are derived variants within the TM-DS series.
