Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM-RT14-433PSO is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Frequency: 433MHz
• Modulation Protocol: AM
• Power Output: 12dBm
• Transmitting Current: 8mA
• Supply Voltage Range: 2V ~ 9V
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 80°C
• Package Classification: Module
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The AM-RT14-433P qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (AM-RT14), confirming functional equivalence. The primary difference lies in mounting type (Through Hole versus Surface Mount) and product status (Active versus Obsolete).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For AM-RT14-433PSO Replacement:

The AM-RT14-433P is the direct functional equivalent and primary substitute for the obsolete AM-RT14-433PSO. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications, including frequency, modulation, output power, current consumption, and voltage operating range.

Compliance Status: Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8517.62.0090) classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and export purposes.

Mounting Consideration: The primary design-level difference is the mounting type. The AM-RT14-433PSO uses surface mount technology, while the AM-RT14-433P employs through-hole mounting. This distinction requires PCB layout modification if transitioning between these variants. Verify your application's PCB design supports the through-hole mounting configuration before selection.

Product Status Advantage: The AM-RT14-433P maintains active product status with RF Solutions, providing superior long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete AM-RT14-433PSO.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AM-RT14-433P directly replace the AM-RT14-433PSO in my design?

A: Electrical substitution is complete. Both parts deliver identical 433MHz AM transmission at 12dBm output with 8mA transmitting current across the 2V to 9V supply range. However, the mounting type differs: AM-RT14-433PSO is surface mount while AM-RT14-433P is through-hole. PCB layout modification is required if your current design uses surface mount footprints.

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

A: No. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8517.62.0090) classifications. Regulatory and compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: Why is the AM-RT14-433PSO listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The AM-RT14-433P, sharing the same base product number (AM-RT14) and maintaining active status, represents the current production equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging specifications (Module vs. Bulk)?

A: Packaging designation refers to supplier delivery format. The AM-RT14-433PSO is supplied in module packaging, while the AM-RT14-433P is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels different between these parts?

A: Yes. The AM-RT14-433PSO lists MSL as Not Applicable, while the AM-RT14-433P specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). This indicates the AM-RT14-433P has no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Can I use the AM-RT14-433P in applications originally designed for the AM-RT14-433PSO?

A: Electrical functionality is fully compatible. Mechanical integration requires PCB redesign to accommodate through-hole mounting instead of surface mount. Verify your application's physical constraints and PCB layout capabilities support this mounting transition.
