AM110C3-315 RF Transmitter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM110C3-315 is an RF transmitter module manufactured by RF Solutions, operating at 315MHz with AM modulation. This handheld transmitter features three switches and delivers 10mW output power at 12V supply voltage, designed for general-purpose wireless control applications with a 50-meter transmission range. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance, redesign, and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM110C3-315 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Base product number match (AM110C3 family)
• Supply voltage compatibility (12V)
• Modulation protocol support (AM capability)
• Functional classification (Transmitter)

Secondary Considerations:

• Frequency band operation (315MHz vs. alternative ISM bands)
• Output power rating (10mW)
• Interface configuration (handheld, switch-based control)
• Product status and availability

The substitute part 110C3-433A shares the same base product number (AM110C3) and supply voltage (12V), establishing compatibility within the RF Solutions AM110 transmitter family. However, frequency differentiation (433MHz vs. 315MHz) represents a significant operational distinction that must be evaluated against application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (Same Frequency Band): No equivalent parts within the 315MHz frequency band are provided in the substitute list. The AM110C3-315 remains the specified component for 315MHz applications.

For Frequency-Agnostic Applications: The 110C3-433A operates at 433MHz, a different ISM band. This substitute is applicable only when the application system supports 433MHz operation and does not require 315MHz-specific receiver compatibility. The 110C3-433A is currently in active production status, providing superior long-term availability compared to the obsolete AM110C3-315.

Compliance Considerations: The 110C3-433A carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the AM110C3-315 is not subject to RoHS requirements. For new designs or systems requiring RoHS compliance, the 110C3-433A is the preferred option, provided frequency compatibility is confirmed.

Availability and Supply Chain: Both components maintain current inventory (689 units for AM110C3-315; 647 units for 110C3-433A). The active product status of 110C3-433A ensures continued availability for future procurement cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 110C3-433A directly replace the AM110C3-315 in existing systems?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without system-level modifications. The 110C3-433A operates at 433MHz, while the AM110C3-315 operates at 315MHz. Receiver modules must support the corresponding frequency band. Substitution requires confirmation that all wireless components in the system (transmitter and receiver) operate at 433MHz.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number match (AM110C3)?

A: The shared base product number indicates both components belong to the RF Solutions AM110 transmitter family and share common mechanical interfaces, pinout configurations, and electrical characteristics such as 12V supply voltage. This commonality establishes the foundation for substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there differences in modulation capability between these parts?

A: The AM110C3-315 supports AM modulation exclusively. The 110C3-433A supports both AM and FM modulation protocols. For applications requiring AM-only operation, both components are compatible. For FM-specific applications, only the 110C3-433A is suitable.

Q: How does product status affect component selection?

A: The AM110C3-315 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited long-term availability. The 110C3-433A maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing and supply chain support. For new designs or systems requiring extended component availability, the active product is preferred.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these components?

A: The AM110C3-315 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 110C3-433A is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and integration procedures but does not impact electrical or functional compatibility.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in substitution decisions?

A: RoHS compliance is application-dependent. The 110C3-433A is ROHS3 compliant, suitable for applications and markets requiring RoHS certification. The AM110C3-315 is not subject to RoHS requirements. For systems targeting RoHS-compliant markets, the 110C3-433A is the appropriate selection.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each component?

A: Current inventory includes 689 units of AM110C3-315 and 647 units of 110C3-433A. Both components maintain adequate stock for immediate procurement. Inventory levels should be verified with the supplier for long-term planning.
