Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute relationships are based strictly on matching the following allowed parameters: impedance values (primary and secondary), DC resistance, frequency range, insertion loss, power level, mounting type, physical dimensions, termination style, RoHS compliance, and REACH status. These parameters ensure electrical functionality, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory alignment between the main and alternative part numbers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Select substitute parts based on product status and provided compliance information. The main part, 850Q, is obsolete, while substitute part 850QA is listed as active. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Review termination style for system compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the principal criteria for substituting Hammond Manufacturing 850Q with 850QA?
A: Substitution is determined by matching impedance, DC resistance, frequency range, power ratings, physical dimensions, mounting style, and compliance parameters.

Q: Are termination styles between 850Q and 850QA interchangeable?
A: The 850Q uses solder lug termination, while the 850QA uses wire leads. Both types are suitable for chassis mount, but termination method compatibility with the installation should be confirmed.

Q: Does the substitute part 850QA meet the same regulatory standards as 850Q?
A: Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Are physical dimensions of 850Q and 850QA identical for direct mechanical replacement?
A: Both parts have matching size and mounting dimensions, supporting direct replacement where required.

Q: Does substitution affect electrical performance?
A: All key electrical specifications provided, including impedance, resistance, frequency range, insertion loss, and power level, are matched between both parts for supported substitutions.
