Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2195630-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Frequency Compatibility: Substitute parts must support dual-band operation covering the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz and 5.15GHz to 5.85GHz ranges. Both substitute parts (2108936-1 and 2108936-2) meet this requirement with extended frequency coverage to 5.875GHz.

Antenna Type and Mounting: The main part utilizes a whip antenna with connector mount configuration. Substitute parts must maintain whip antenna geometry and connector-based mounting to ensure mechanical and electrical integration compatibility.

Connector Termination: The 2195630-1 features RP-SMA termination. The 2108936-2 substitute maintains RP-SMA Female termination, ensuring direct connector compatibility. The 2108936-1 substitute uses SMA termination, which represents a connector type variation requiring mechanical adapter consideration.

Electrical Performance: VSWR and return loss specifications define impedance matching characteristics. The main part specifies 2 VSWR and -10dB return loss. Substitute parts 2108936-1 and 2108936-2 provide improved VSWR performance (1.6-1.7 range), indicating superior impedance matching.

Product Status and Availability: Both substitute parts maintain active product status with current inventory availability, addressing the obsolescence of the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2108936-2 Primary Selection: This part represents the optimal substitute for the 2195630-1 based on direct connector compatibility. The RP-SMA Female termination matches the main part specification, eliminating adapter requirements. Physical height of 4.291" (109.00mm) aligns closely with the original 4.252" (108.00mm) dimension, supporting existing mechanical mounting designs. The part maintains active product status with current inventory availability and ROHS3 compliance equivalent to the original specification. Extended frequency coverage to 5.875GHz provides operational margin beyond the original 5.85GHz specification. Improved VSWR performance (1.7) compared to the original specification (2) indicates superior impedance matching characteristics.

2108936-1 Secondary Selection: This part provides functional substitution for Wi-Fi applications with improved VSWR performance (1.6-1.7 range). However, the SMA termination differs from the original RP-SMA specification, requiring mechanical adapter implementation for connector compatibility. The significantly reduced height of 0.394" (10.00mm) versus the original 4.252" (108.00mm) indicates a fundamentally different physical form factor unsuitable for direct mechanical replacement in tilt antenna applications. This part maintains active status and EAR99 export classification. Selection of this substitute requires mechanical redesign consideration and connector adaptation.

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment: Both substitute parts maintain EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8517.71.0000 consistency with the original part. The 2108936-2 substitute provides explicit ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating matching the original specification. The 2108936-1 substitute does not specify RoHS or MSL status, requiring vendor verification prior to selection for regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2108936-1 substitute directly replace the 2195630-1 without modifications?

A: Direct replacement is not recommended. The 2108936-1 features SMA termination instead of RP-SMA, requiring a mechanical adapter for connector compatibility. Additionally, the 0.394" (10.00mm) height differs substantially from the original 4.252" (108.00mm) dimension, indicating incompatibility with existing tilt antenna mounting configurations designed for the original part.

Q: What is the primary advantage of the 2108936-2 substitute over the 2108936-1?

A: The 2108936-2 maintains RP-SMA Female termination matching the original 2195630-1 specification, eliminating connector adapter requirements. Physical height of 4.291" (109.00mm) aligns with the original 4.252" (108.00mm) dimension, supporting direct mechanical replacement. The 2108936-2 also provides explicit ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating documentation.

Q: Are the frequency ranges of the substitute parts compatible with the original 2195630-1 application?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts support the original frequency ranges of 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz and 5.15GHz to 5.85GHz. The substitute parts extend coverage to 5.875GHz, providing additional operational margin. Center frequencies of 2.45GHz and 5.512GHz align with the original 2.45GHz and 5.5GHz specifications.

Q: What does the improved VSWR specification in the substitute parts indicate?

A: The substitute parts specify VSWR values of 1.6 to 1.7 compared to the original 2 VSWR specification. Lower VSWR values indicate superior impedance matching and reduced signal reflection at the antenna connector interface, resulting in improved RF efficiency and reduced insertion loss.

Q: Is the 2108936-2 suitable for applications requiring tilt antenna functionality?

A: The 2108936-2 specifies whip and straight antenna types, not tilt configuration. The original 2195630-1 includes tilt functionality. If tilt antenna capability is required for the application, mechanical design modifications or alternative part selection may be necessary.

Q: What packaging differences exist between the substitute parts?

A: The 2108936-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 2108936-2 is supplied in bag packaging. These packaging variations do not affect electrical or mechanical performance but may influence inventory management and component handling procedures.

Q: Are both substitute parts compliant with export regulations applicable to the original part?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8517.71.0000, consistent with the original 2195630-1 specification. No additional export documentation or licensing is required for these substitutes.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute parts?

A: The 2108936-1 substitute has 970 pieces in stock, and the 2108936-2 substitute has 816 pieces in stock. Both parts maintain active product status with current availability from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.
