Antenova A10340 RF Antenna Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Antenova A10340 is a PCB trace RF antenna designed for cellular applications operating across 850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, and 1.9GHz frequency bands. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The A10340 provides 1.7dBi to 3dBi gain across its operating frequency range and is optimized for GSM and UMTS applications with surface mount solder termination.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the A10340 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Frequency coverage: Must support 824MHz ~ 960MHz and 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz bands
• Antenna type: PCB trace or chip configuration acceptable for surface mount applications
• Mounting: Surface mount solder termination required
• Physical height: Maximum 0.126" (3.20mm) preferred for PCB trace; chip antennas up to 0.197" (5.00mm) acceptable
• Impedance matching: VSWR and return loss values must support GSM/UMTS applications

Identified Substitutes:

P522304 (Ethertronics/AVX Prestta™): Chip antenna configuration covering 824MHz ~ 960MHz and 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz with improved VSWR of 2.5. Active product status with RoHS compliance. Tape & Reel packaging.

PA.700.J (Taoglas Limited Viking): Chip antenna with extended frequency coverage including 698MHz ~ 800MHz and 2.4GHz ~ 2.7GHz bands. Supports additional standards (EDGE, GPRS, HSDPA, LTE). Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Cut Tape packaging. Height 0.197" (5.00mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

P522304 Selection Criteria: The Ethertronics/AVX P522304 provides the closest form factor match with identical 0.126" (3.20mm) height and matching frequency coverage. Superior VSWR performance (2.5 vs 3.1) indicates improved impedance matching. Active product status ensures long-term availability. RoHS compliance maintains regulatory alignment. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly. Suitable for direct replacement in space-constrained applications.

PA.700.J Selection Criteria: The Taoglas Limited PA.700.J offers extended frequency coverage and additional cellular standard support (EDGE, GPRS, HSDPA, LTE). ROHS3 compliance exceeds baseline RoHS requirements. Active product status guarantees supply continuity. Increased height (0.197" vs 0.126") requires PCB layout verification. MSL-3 rating (168 hours) requires controlled moisture exposure during storage and assembly. Suitable for applications requiring broader frequency band support and future standard compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P522304 directly replace A10340 in existing designs? A: P522304 maintains identical frequency coverage (824MHz ~ 960MHz, 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz) and matching physical height (3.20mm). The chip antenna configuration differs from PCB trace, requiring PCB layout verification. VSWR improvement (2.5 vs 3.1) indicates superior performance. Solder termination and surface mount compatibility are maintained.

Q: What are the physical constraints when selecting PA.700.J? A: PA.700.J height is 0.197" (5.00mm) compared to A10340 at 0.126" (3.20mm). This 0.071" (1.80mm) increase requires verification of available PCB clearance and component stacking constraints. Footprint compatibility must be confirmed with design layout.

Q: How do moisture sensitivity levels affect component handling? A: A10340 and P522304 carry MSL-1 rating (unlimited moisture exposure tolerance). PA.700.J carries MSL-3 rating (168-hour floor life after moisture exposure). MSL-3 components require controlled storage below 30% relative humidity and must be used within 168 hours of package opening. Reflow processing must occur within this window.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant? A: A10340 and P522304 are RoHS Compliant. PA.700.J is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an enhanced compliance standard. All three parts meet RoHS requirements for new designs.

Q: What packaging formats are available? A: A10340 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. P522304 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly. PA.700.J is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Do frequency coverage differences affect GSM/UMTS compatibility? A: All three parts support the primary GSM/UMTS frequency bands (824MHz ~ 960MHz, 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz). PA.700.J provides additional coverage for 698MHz ~ 800MHz, 1.41GHz ~ 1.52GHz, and 2.4GHz ~ 2.7GHz, enabling support for EDGE, GPRS, HSDPA, and LTE standards. Selection depends on application requirements.
