Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AS01808AO-3-SC-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Impedance (8 Ohms), rated power (1 W), and maximum power (1.2 W) must match exactly
• Acoustic Performance: Frequency range (420 Hz ~ 14 kHz) and efficiency (94 dB SPL) must be maintained
• Mechanical Compatibility: Port location (top), shape (rectangular), and physical dimensions (18.00mm x 13.00mm) must be identical
• Interface Compatibility: Termination type (spring type) must match for direct installation

The AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and acoustic specifications while offering improved product status (active vs. obsolete) and enhanced environmental protection (IP65 rating).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R is the direct substitute for the obsolete AS01808AO-3-SC-R. Both components are manufactured by PUI Audio, Inc. and maintain identical electrical, acoustic, and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Enhanced Environmental Protection: IP65 rating provides dust-tight and water-resistant performance, extending operational reliability in challenging environments
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status meet current environmental and safety standards
• Reduced Height: The seated height is 0.008" (0.20mm) lower, providing improved mechanical fit in space-constrained applications

No functional or electrical compromise occurs with this substitution. The component is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R be used as a direct replacement for the AS01808AO-3-SC-R?

A: Yes. Both components share identical impedance (8 Ohms), rated power (1 W), maximum power (1.2 W), frequency range (420 Hz ~ 14 kHz), port location (top), shape (rectangular), dimensions (18.00mm x 13.00mm), and spring-type termination. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference in height between these two parts?

A: The AS01808AO-3-SC-R has a maximum seated height of 0.106" (2.70mm), while the AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R measures 0.098" (2.50mm). This 0.008" (0.20mm) reduction may provide improved fit in applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.

Q: Does the IP65 rating on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The IP65 rating (dust-tight, water-resistant) on the AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R is an enhancement that does not affect electrical or acoustic compatibility. It provides additional environmental protection without changing the component's core functionality.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AS01808AO-3-SC-R packaging is not specified in the available data. The AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. RoHS status for the original part is not specified.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The AS01808AO-3-SC-R is obsolete, meaning it is no longer in active production. The AS01808AO-SC18-WP-R is the active equivalent and should be used for new designs and ongoing production support.
