Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Digi 76000926 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 76002052. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

• Frequency Band Coverage: Both parts operate across overlapping frequency ranges including 850MHz and 900MHz bands, with the substitute providing extended coverage to 700MHz, 2.1GHz, and 2.6GHz
• Mounting Configuration: Both parts utilize connector mount termination, enabling direct integration into existing RF systems
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99), ensuring equivalent regulatory status
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), providing equivalent environmental performance
• Antenna Form Factor: The substitute transitions from whip/tilt to blade configuration, representing a geometric alternative while maintaining connector-based mounting

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Digi 76000926 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 76002052. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute is classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• Regulatory Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory standing
• Frequency Band Compatibility: The substitute covers all primary frequency bands of the original part (850MHz, 900MHz, 2.1GHz) with extended coverage to 700MHz and 2.6GHz
• Environmental Rating: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, providing equivalent moisture and environmental performance
• Connector Mount Architecture: Both parts utilize connector-based mounting, enabling direct system integration

Physical and electrical differences exist between the parts. The substitute features increased height (196mm versus 70mm), higher gain (3dBi versus 2dBi), and a blade antenna form factor replacing the whip/tilt configuration. These differences require mechanical and electrical validation within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76000926 directly replace the 76002052 without modification?

A: Both parts utilize connector mount termination and cover overlapping frequency bands. However, the substitute exhibits significant physical differences: 196mm height versus 70mm, blade versus whip/tilt form factor, and 3dBi versus 2dBi gain. Mechanical clearance and electrical performance must be validated for the specific application.

Q: What frequency bands are covered by both parts?

A: The 76002052 operates at 850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.1GHz. The 76000926 covers 700MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 2.1GHz, and 2.6GHz. Both parts provide coverage of 850MHz, 900MHz, and 2.1GHz bands.

Q: Are there connector compatibility considerations?

A: The 76002052 uses a generic connector termination, while the 76000926 specifies SMA Male termination. Connector type compatibility with the target RF system must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: What is the regulatory status of the substitute?

A: The 76000926 maintains REACH Unaffected and EAR99 classifications identical to the original part. The substitute additionally carries RoHS Compliant status, providing enhanced environmental compliance.

Q: How do the antenna gains differ?

A: The original part provides 2dBi gain, while the substitute provides 3dBi gain. This 1dBi increase represents a measurable difference in radiated power and must be evaluated for the target RF application.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 76002052 is specified with dash packaging, while the 76000926 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement and inventory management processes.
