WI-ANT-900MHZ-0DB OMNI NF (6720005233) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 6720005233 is an RF antenna operating in the 900 MHz frequency band with omnidirectional radiation pattern and 0 dB gain. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs. The part remains in stock with 1190 units available as new original inventory.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 6720005234 is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical manufacturer (Weidmüller)
• Same frequency band (900 MHz)
• Same antenna type (omnidirectional)
• Identical RoHS compliance status
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Identical REACH status
• Identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The primary technical difference is the antenna gain specification: the substitute part features 3 dB gain compared to the 0 dB gain of the original part. This parameter difference must be evaluated against system requirements before substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6720005234 is an active production equivalent to the obsolete 6720005233. Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance profiles, including RoHS compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging with comparable inventory levels.

Selection between these parts depends on the antenna gain requirement: the original part provides 0 dB gain, while the substitute provides 3 dB gain. This 3 dB difference represents a doubling of effective radiated power in the antenna's radiation pattern and must be evaluated against system link budget and regulatory power limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6720005234 directly replace the 6720005233 in existing designs?

A: Both parts share identical frequency band, antenna type, and regulatory compliance. The 3 dB gain difference must be verified against system requirements and power budget calculations before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the gain difference between these parts?

A: The 3 dB gain specification on the substitute part represents a doubling of antenna directivity compared to the 0 dB reference. This affects system performance and must be validated against link budget requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or environmental differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL ratings and export classifications.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete if the substitute is available?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The active substitute part provides equivalent functionality with the noted gain specification difference.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The substitute part is specified for bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed against procurement and assembly specifications.
