Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AMW036-3.4.1R has been identified with one active equivalent substitute: AMW006-3.4.1R. This substitution is valid based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Both parts are manufactured by Silicon Labs
• Both are RF TXRX modules classified as transceiver modules
• Both serve networking WiFi applications
• Both maintain ROHS3 compliance
• The AMW006-3.4.1R represents the active production equivalent with current availability

The substitution is determined by functional equivalence within the Silicon Labs AMW product family, where the AMW006 series provides the active continuation of the AMW036 obsolete line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and ongoing procurement, the AMW006-3.4.1R is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both the main part and substitute maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying environmental regulatory requirements.

The AMW036-3.4.1R remains available for existing inventory applications; however, transition to the AMW006-3.4.1R is recommended for designs requiring extended product lifecycle support. The moisture sensitivity level difference (MSL 1 versus MSL 3) reflects standard handling and storage variations between the obsolete and active product lines and does not impact functional equivalence for networking WiFi transceiver applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AMW006-3.4.1R directly replace the AMW036-3.4.1R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are Silicon Labs RF TXRX modules designed for networking WiFi applications with identical functional classification as transceiver modules. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level between these parts?

A: The AMW036-3.4.1R has MSL 1 (unlimited moisture exposure tolerance), while the AMW006-3.4.1R has MSL 3 (168-hour moisture exposure limit). This reflects standard handling and storage protocol differences and does not affect functional performance in the application.

Q: Why is the AMW036-3.4.1R classified as obsolete?

A: The AMW036-3.4.1R has reached end-of-life status. The AMW006-3.4.1R represents the active production continuation within the Silicon Labs product family.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The AMW006-3.4.1R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AMW036-3.4.1R and AMW006-3.4.1R are ROHS3 compliant.
