Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 100256 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Frequency range: 860MHz ~ 960MHz
• Technology: Passive
• Memory type: Read/Write
• Writable memory capacity: 128b (EPC)
• Standards compliance: EPC and ISO 18000-6
• Physical dimensions: 2.756" L x 0.570" W (70.00mm x 14.50mm)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
• Style: Inlay

Direct Substitute Identified:

RF100306 (Avery Dennison RFID) meets all mandatory parameters. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, physical form factor, and standards compliance while utilizing the NXP UCODE 7 chipset series. RF100306 carries active product status and is currently in stock.

Non-Qualifying Entry:

100347 (LAPP) is listed in the source data but does not qualify as a substitute. This component is a heavy-duty connector base accessory (connector type: base-box mount) with fundamentally different form factor, function, and application scope. No electrical or mechanical parameter alignment exists with the 100256 RFID inlay specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RF100306 is the qualified direct substitute for the obsolete 100256. Selection rationale is based on the following factors:

Product Status: RF100306 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence constraint of the original part.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory and trade compliance consistency.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: RF100306 delivers identical frequency range, memory capacity, standards compliance, and operating temperature specifications. Physical form factor and inlay style are preserved.

Chipset Difference: RF100306 implements NXP UCODE 7 technology in place of the Impinj® Monza® 5 series. Both chipsets operate within the same frequency band and support identical EPC and ISO 18000-6 protocols at the specified memory capacity.

Packaging Consideration: RF100306 is supplied in strip packaging, whereas the original part packaging is unspecified. Procurement processes should account for this packaging format change.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RF100306 directly replace 100256 in existing applications?

A: RF100306 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the 100256. Both parts operate at 860MHz ~ 960MHz, support 128b EPC read/write memory, and comply with EPC and ISO 18000-6 standards. The chipset difference (NXP UCODE 7 versus Impinj® Monza® 5) does not affect functional compatibility within these standard protocols.

Q: Why is 100347 listed but not recommended as a substitute?

A: 100347 is a heavy-duty connector base accessory manufactured by LAPP. It serves a fundamentally different application (connector mounting) and shares no electrical or mechanical parameters with the 100256 RFID inlay. This part does not qualify for substitution consideration.

Q: What is the impact of the chipset change from Impinj® Monza® 5 to NXP UCODE 7?

A: Both chipsets operate within the same frequency band and support the same standards (EPC, ISO 18000-6) at the specified memory capacity. Functional compatibility is maintained for standard RFID read/write operations. Application-specific performance characteristics should be evaluated based on system requirements.

Q: Does the strip packaging of RF100306 affect compatibility?

A: Strip packaging is a procurement and handling format. It does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the inlay component itself. Integration into end-use assemblies remains unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8524.62.0010) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) is also identical. No compliance or regulatory divergence exists.
