Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECS-P83-AX is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the ECS-P83-A. Both components are manufactured by ECS Inc. and share identical specifications across all critical parameters including frequency range, output type, supply voltage, package configuration, and operating characteristics.

A key distinction exists in regulatory compliance status. The ECS-P83-AX carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the ECS-P83-A is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or requiring RoHS-compliant components, the ECS-P83-AX is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Component selection between ECS-P83-A and ECS-P83-AX should be based on project-specific compliance requirements. Both parts are active products with adequate inventory availability and are suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs requiring programmable XO oscillators with HCMOS output at 3.3V supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the ECS-P83-A and ECS-P83-AX electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications including frequency range (1 MHz ~ 125 MHz), HCMOS output, 3.3V supply voltage, ±100ppm frequency stability, and 28mA maximum supply current. They are electrically interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: Are the ECS-P83-A and ECS-P83-AX mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components use the same 8-DIP, 4-lead half-size metal can package with through-hole mounting. Physical dimensions (0.520" L x 0.520" W) and maximum seated height (0.213") are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The ECS-P83-AX is ROHS3 compliant, while the ECS-P83-A is RoHS non-compliant. All other specifications and certifications are equivalent.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The ECS-P83-AX is the appropriate selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance. This part carries ROHS3 certification while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the ECS-P83-A.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that your application does not have specific RoHS compliance requirements. Both parts are pin-compatible, package-compatible, and electrically equivalent. Substitution requires no circuit modifications.

Q: What is the frequency programming process for these oscillators?

A: Both the ECS-P83-A and ECS-P83-AX are programmed by the distributor (DiGi Electronics) based on customer frequency specification. Frequency selection occurs during the ordering process through web order notes. Available frequency range is 1 MHz to 125 MHz.

Q: Are there any environmental or storage differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), REACH Unaffected status, and ECCN classification (EAR99). Storage and handling requirements are equivalent.
