XFC-59-100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The XFC-59-100 is an F Type Connector Plug with male pin configuration, designed for free hanging (in-line) installation in RG-59 cable applications. Manufactured by Greenlee Communications, this connector features compression shield termination and threaded fastening, with weatherproof ingress protection and silver housing.

The XFC-59-100 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system compatibility, ensure continued availability for maintenance and repair operations, and support procurement for legacy installations where this connector type remains in service.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XFC-59-100 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: F Type
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Cable Group: RG-59
• Fastening Type: Threaded
• Number of Ports: 1

Compatibility Considerations: The substitute part 414766-8 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. This part maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the XFC-59-100 in RG-59 cable applications. The substitute introduces additional specified parameters (75 Ohm impedance, operating temperature range, voltage rating) that were not defined in the original part specification, representing enhanced technical documentation rather than functional deviation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 414766-8 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

The 414766-8 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the XFC-59-100. This part maintains all critical mechanical and functional parameters required for RG-59 cable applications with F Type threaded connectors.

Compliance and Availability: The 414766-8 holds Active product status with current inventory availability (1065 pcs), ensuring reliable procurement for ongoing maintenance and new installations. The part is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The XFC-59-100, classified as Obsolete, presents supply chain risk for future procurement.

Technical Alignment: Both connectors are specified for RG-59 cable group with identical mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line) and fastening method (threaded). The substitute provides explicit electrical specifications (75 Ohm impedance, 500 V voltage rating, -65°C to 85°C operating range) that establish performance parameters suitable for standard RF coaxial applications.

Shield Termination Difference: The XFC-59-100 specifies compression shield termination, while the 414766-8 uses crimp termination. Both methods provide effective electromagnetic shielding in F Type connector applications. Crimp termination is the industry standard for modern F Type connectors and is compatible with standard RG-59 cable preparation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 414766-8 directly replace the XFC-59-100 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector style (F Type), type (Plug, Male Pin), mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line), cable group (RG-59), and fastening method (threaded). These parameters determine mechanical and functional compatibility. The 414766-8 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference between compression and crimp shield termination?

A: Compression termination uses a ferrule that compresses around the cable shield when tightened. Crimp termination uses a ferrule that is mechanically deformed onto the cable shield. Both methods provide effective shielding. The 414766-8 crimp design is standard for modern F Type connectors and is compatible with RG-59 cable.

Q: Why does the 414766-8 specify 75 Ohm impedance when the XFC-59-100 does not?

A: The XFC-59-100 specification does not include impedance documentation. The 414766-8 explicitly specifies 75 Ohm impedance, which is the standard impedance for F Type connectors in video and broadband RF applications. This represents enhanced technical documentation rather than a functional difference.

Q: Is the 414766-8 suitable for the same operating environment as the XFC-59-100?

A: The XFC-59-100 specifies weatherproof ingress protection. The 414766-8 does not document ingress protection rating. Both connectors are F Type designs with silver housing suitable for standard RF cable applications. For applications requiring specific environmental protection ratings, verify ingress protection requirements against application specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The XFC-59-100 has 870 pcs in stock but is classified as Obsolete, indicating no future production. The 414766-8 has 1065 pcs in stock and is classified as Active, ensuring continued availability for procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these connectors?

A: The XFC-59-100 RoHS status is listed as Not applicable. The 414766-8 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4010) classifications.
