Digi Connect ME DC-ME4-01T-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DC-ME4-01T-S is an embedded module from Digi's Connect ME® series, featuring an ARM7TDMI processor running at 55MHz with 8MB RAM and 4MB Flash memory. This module integrates network connectivity via RJ45 connector and operates across industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C). The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DC-ME4-01T-S are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical criteria:

Core Substitution Parameters:

• Processor architecture and model (ARM7TDMI, NS7520)
• Clock speed (55MHz)
• Memory configuration (4MB Flash, 8MB RAM)
• Physical connector type (RJ45)
• Module form factor and dimensions (1.450" L x 0.750" W)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• RoHS compliance status

The DC-ME4-01T-S shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with both substitute parts listed. Differences exist only in packaging configuration and product lifecycle status, with substitute parts currently maintaining active availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DC-ME4-01T-C and DC-ME4-01T-JT are direct parametric equivalents to the DC-ME4-01T-S, with all critical electrical and mechanical specifications identical. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: both substitute parts maintain active availability, whereas the DC-ME4-01T-S is obsolete.

For new designs or system replacements, either substitute part is suitable based on parametric compatibility. DC-ME4-01T-C is packaged in Box configuration, while DC-ME4-01T-JT packaging is not specified. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical regulatory certifications. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain availability rather than functional or electrical considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DC-ME4-01T-C or DC-ME4-01T-JT be used as direct replacements for DC-ME4-01T-S?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical processor architecture, clock speed, memory configuration, connector type, physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: DC-ME4-01T-C is supplied in Box packaging, while DC-ME4-01T-JT packaging is not specified. Both maintain active product status and identical electrical specifications.

Q: Why is the DC-ME4-01T-S classified as obsolete?

A: Product lifecycle classification reflects manufacturer discontinuation. Active equivalents (DC-ME4-01T-C and DC-ME4-01T-JT) are available for ongoing support and new implementations.

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

A: All three parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory certifications are equivalent across the series.

Q: Does packaging affect functional compatibility?

A: No. Packaging differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. Selection should be based on supply chain availability and storage/handling requirements.
