ECS-P85-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECS-P85-A is an XO (Standard) programmable crystal oscillator manufactured by ECS Inc. This component operates across a frequency range of 1 MHz to 150 MHz with HCMOS output, 5V supply voltage, and Enable/Disable functionality. The oscillator is housed in an 8-DIP, 4 Leads (Half Size, Metal Can) through-hole package with a frequency stability of ±100ppm and maximum supply current of 45mA. The ECS-P85-A maintains Active product status with 832 pieces currently in stock. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate specific compliance or packaging requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECS-P85-A is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for frequency range (1 MHz ~ 150 MHz), output type (HCMOS), supply voltage (5V), function (Enable/Disable), frequency stability (±100ppm), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C), maximum supply current (45mA), and physical package configuration (8-DIP, 4 Leads Half Size Metal Can with dimensions 0.520" L x 0.520" W and maximum seated height of 0.213").

The ECS-P85-AX qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. Both parts are manufactured by ECS Inc., operate within the same frequency range, deliver identical HCMOS output characteristics, and are housed in the same through-hole package with matching physical footprints and thermal profiles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ECS-P85-A and ECS-P85-AX are Active products from ECS Inc. with complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The ECS-P85-A is RoHS non-compliant, while the ECS-P85-AX is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on project-specific compliance requirements. Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance must use the ECS-P85-AX. Applications without RoHS compliance mandates may use either part. Both parts are programmed by DiGi Electronics according to specified frequency requirements within the 1 MHz to 150 MHz range. Current inventory levels are 832 pieces for the ECS-P85-A and 743 pieces for the ECS-P85-AX.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECS-P85-AX be used as a direct replacement for the ECS-P85-A in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ECS-P85-AX is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the ECS-P85-A across all specified parameters including frequency range, output type, supply voltage, function, stability, operating temperature, current consumption, and physical package dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the ECS-P85-A and ECS-P85-AX?

A: The ECS-P85-AX is ROHS3 Compliant, while the ECS-P85-A is RoHS non-compliant. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts available in the same frequency range?

A: Yes. Both the ECS-P85-A and ECS-P85-AX support the same programmable frequency range of 1 MHz to 150 MHz. Frequency selection is specified during the ordering process through DiGi Electronics.

Q: Do these oscillators require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity. Standard handling and storage practices for electronic components apply.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Only the ECS-P85-AX is ROHS3 Compliant and suitable for applications with RoHS compliance mandates. The ECS-P85-A is not RoHS compliant and should not be used in such applications.

Q: What is the physical footprint compatibility between these parts?

A: Both parts are housed in identical 8-DIP, 4 Leads (Half Size, Metal Can) through-hole packages with matching dimensions of 0.520" L x 0.520" W (13.20mm x 13.20mm) and maximum seated height of 0.213" (5.40mm). PCB layout and mounting hole patterns are identical.
