Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AS06608PS-R qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Impedance: 8 Ohms (exact match)
• Power rating: 4 W rated, 5 W maximum (exact match)
• Frequency range: 230 Hz ~ 12 kHz (exact match)
• Efficiency: 95.00 dB SPL (exact match)
• Port location: Top (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 66.30mm x 66.30mm footprint (exact match)
• Termination type: Solder Eyelet(s) (exact match)
• Cone and magnet materials: Paper and Ferrite respectively (exact match)

The AS06608PS-R maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part, differing only in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AS06608PS-R is the direct equivalent for the obsolete AS06608PS. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The AS06608PS-R carries Active status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The original AS06608PS is classified as Obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Regulatory Compliance: The AS06608PS-R is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The AS06608PS is RoHS non-compliant and does not meet modern regulatory requirements for new designs or production runs.

Physical Compatibility: The seated height differs by 0.5mm (29.00mm versus 29.50mm). This minor variance falls within typical mechanical tolerances for speaker mounting applications and does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Electrical Equivalence: All electrical parameters are identical, including impedance, power ratings, frequency response, and efficiency specifications. Direct circuit-level substitution is valid without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AS06608PS-R be used as a direct replacement for AS06608PS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AS06608PS-R maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical footprint. The 0.5mm height difference is within standard mechanical tolerances and does not affect mounting or performance.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from AS06608PS to AS06608PS-R?

A: The AS06608PS is obsolete with limited inventory. The AS06608PS-R is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support and improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3).

Q: Are there any impedance or power rating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated at 8 Ohms impedance, 4 W nominal power, and 5 W maximum power. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: Packaging (Bulk for AS06608PS-R versus standard for AS06608PS) affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility in the application.

Q: What is the frequency response specification for both parts?

A: Both the AS06608PS and AS06608PS-R operate across 230 Hz to 12 kHz with a self-resonant frequency of 230 Hz and deliver 95 dB SPL at 1W/500mm.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new product designs?

A: The AS06608PS-R is recommended for new designs due to Active status and ROHS3 compliance. The AS06608PS should not be specified for new production due to obsolete status.
