Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CF720KA01006096 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Product category: Conductive Foam Sheet for RF EMI applications
• Manufacturer consistency: Laird Technologies EMI
• Adhesive configuration: Conductive, Single Sided
• Operating temperature compatibility
• Physical form factor: Rectangular sheet geometry
• Regulatory compliance: ECCN and HTSUS alignment

The CF710KA00644064 qualifies as a substitute part within the EcoFoam™ series. Both products share the same manufacturer, product type, adhesive configuration, and regulatory classifications. The substitute part maintains the same shelf life requirement and storage temperature specification. The primary differences lie in dimensional specifications (length, width, and thickness) and operating temperature range, which must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The CF720KA01006096 is classified as Obsolete, making the CF710KA00644064 a viable alternative from an active product line. The substitute part maintains Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and supply availability.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8529.90.9800) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes. The substitute part includes RoHS Compliant status, providing additional environmental compliance documentation.

Operational Parameters: The CF710KA00644064 operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) compared to the main part (-40°C ~ 70°C), offering extended thermal capability. Both products maintain identical shelf life and storage requirements.

Physical Specifications: Dimensional differences exist between the parts. The substitute features reduced length (16.000" vs. 24.000"), reduced width (0.250" vs. 0.394"), and reduced thickness (0.039" vs. 0.080"). These variations require evaluation against specific application geometry and coverage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CF710KA00644064 directly replace CF720KA01006096 in all applications?

A: Both parts are Laird Technologies EMI conductive foam sheets with single-sided adhesive configuration. However, dimensional differences must be assessed. The substitute part has smaller length, width, and thickness specifications. Substitution is valid only when the application geometry accommodates these reduced dimensions.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The main part operates from -40°C to 70°C, while the substitute operates from -40°C to 85°C. The substitute provides extended high-temperature capability. For applications operating below 70°C, both parts are functionally equivalent in this parameter. For applications requiring operation between 70°C and 85°C, only the substitute part is suitable.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8529.90.9800) classifications. The substitute part includes RoHS Compliant certification, which the main part does not document. This represents an additional compliance advantage for the substitute.

Q: Why is the main part classified as Obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The CF710KA00644064, classified as Active, represents the current product line offering from Laird Technologies EMI within the EcoFoam™ series.

Q: How should dimensional differences be evaluated?

A: Application-specific requirements determine dimensional suitability. The substitute part's reduced dimensions (length, width, thickness) may require design modification or may be acceptable depending on coverage area and shielding geometry requirements. Engineering review of the specific application is necessary.

Q: Are shelf life and storage requirements identical?

A: Yes. Both parts specify 12-month shelf life and identical storage temperature of 73.4°F (23°C). Storage and handling procedures are equivalent.
