Section 8 Parts Information
7.5.2 Description Column
This column contains the name and
descriptive information for each part. The key
word or noun is presented first, followed by
the adjective identifiers. When the description
is 'See Family Tree for Assembly
Nomenclature', the associated part is subject
to its own reference designation list or is
contained in an optional kit’s list. If a family
tree is not provided in this section, assume
the latter to be true.
7.5.3 Nautel # Column
This column contains the Nautel part number
assigned to each part. This number is
Nautel's drawing number for Nautel
manufactured parts, Nautel's configuration
control number for assemblies that are under
configuration control management or Nautel's
inventory management number for purchased
parts. When a Nautel configuration control
number (e.g. NAPC*) is referenced in this
column, the associated ref des item is subject
to its own reference designation table.
7.5.4 Vendor # Column:
This column contains an original equipment
manufacturer's part number for a part. A
single part number is listed for each part,
even if there is more than one known
manufacturer. The listed number is Nautel's
usual or preferred choice. The use of this
number does not restrict Nautel from
selecting and using commercial equivalents,
where their use will not degrade circuit
operation or reliability, during manufacture.
7.5.5 OEM Code Column
This column typically contains a five digit
coded group as the original equipment
manufacturer's (OEM) identifier. The code
was extracted from Cataloging Handbook
H4/H8 - Commercial and Government Entity
(Cage) Code. Manufacturers that were not
listed in the catalog when this listing was
compiled have been assigned a unique five-
letter code. This code is assigned arbitrarily
and has no other significance. The
manufacturers identified for parts that have
JAN or MIL part numbers are Nautel's
normal supply source for that part.
NOTE
OEM code 37338 is listed for parts
manufactured by Nautel or to a Nautel control
drawing. United States of America customers
should refer all replacement part orders to
Nautel Maine Incorporated (OEM code
57655).
7.6 OEM CODE TO
MANUFACTURER CROSS-
REFERENCE
The OEM (CAGE) codes listed in the
reference designation lists are
representative of the original equipment
manufacturers of those parts. To determine
a specific part’s manufacturer contact
information, enter the five-character OEM
(CAGE) code for that part in the following
website:
https://www.bpn.gov/bincs/begin_search.asp
Upon entering the OEM (CAGE) code
number, manufacturer pertinent information
(address, telephone number, fax number,
etc.) shall be displayed. Please contact
Nautel if a part cannot be obtained (see also
ON-LINE PART QUOTES in this manual’s
Warranty
section).
7.6.1 Manufacturer’s Index
For users without internet access, Table 7-1
provides a cross-reference from the original
equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) codes to
the manufacturer’s name. The listing is sorted
alphanumerically by the OEM code.
