EXC902SM RF Antenna Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EXC902SM is a 931MHz Bluetooth and Wi-Fi whip antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Laird. This straight-mount SMA male connector antenna operates across the 902MHz to 960MHz frequency band and is designed for UHF applications requiring compact, single-band RF performance. The part is currently active in production with 1126 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component variation within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Recommended Substitutes (Frequency Band Compatible):

TI.19.2113 is the primary substitute for the EXC902SM. This part operates at 915MHz center frequency with a 902MHz ~ 928MHz range, providing full coverage of the lower and mid-band portions of the EXC902SM specification. Both parts feature SMA male termination, connector mount configuration, and active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The TI.19.2113 operates at reduced power capacity (10W versus 50W) and features a tilt configuration versus straight mount. Inventory availability is 979 units.

TG.30.8113 and TG.30.8113W provide extended frequency coverage spanning 824MHz ~ 960MHz, which fully encompasses the 902MHz ~ 960MHz band of the EXC902SM. Both variants maintain SMA male termination and connector mount interface. These parts feature tilt antenna configuration, 10W power rating, and IP67 ingress protection. The primary difference between TG.30.8113 and TG.30.8113W is packaging designation. Inventory availability is 9958 units (TG.30.8113) and 1668 units (TG.30.8113W).

TG.10.0113 covers the 824MHz ~ 960MHz frequency range with 900MHz center frequency, providing full band coverage. This multi-band antenna includes cellular and navigation standards in addition to WiFi. Power rating is 5W with tilt configuration. Inventory availability is 3007 units.

Non-Recommended Substitutes:

TI.10.0111 operates at 433MHz center frequency (433MHz ~ 434MHz range) and does not overlap with the 902MHz ~ 960MHz band required for the EXC902SM application. This part is not suitable as a functional substitute despite matching connector type and mounting interface.

Key Considerations for Selection:

Frequency Coverage: TI.19.2113, TG.30.8113, TG.30.8113W, and TG.10.0113 all provide the required 902MHz ~ 960MHz band coverage
Power Handling: EXC902SM rated for 50W; substitutes rated for 5W to 10W. Applications requiring full 50W capacity must retain the original part
Physical Form Factor: EXC902SM is compact at 92.71mm height; substitutes range from 168mm to 389mm, requiring mechanical design verification
Antenna Configuration: EXC902SM features straight mount; all substitutes feature tilt configuration, affecting installation geometry
Compliance: All parts maintain RoHS compliance and active product status

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can TI.19.2113 directly replace EXC902SM in my design?

A: TI.19.2113 provides frequency band compatibility within 902MHz ~ 928MHz, covering the primary operating range of the EXC902SM. However, three factors require evaluation: (1) Power handling is reduced from 50W to 10W; (2) Physical height increases from 92.71mm to 389mm; (3) Antenna configuration changes from straight to tilt. Mechanical integration and power budget must be verified before substitution.

Q2: What is the difference between TG.30.8113 and TG.30.8113W?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging designation. TG.30.8113 is supplied in standard bag packaging, while TG.30.8113W indicates a variant packaging option. Electrical performance, frequency coverage (824MHz ~ 960MHz), power rating (10W), and physical dimensions (185.90mm height) are identical.

Q3: Why is TI.10.0111 listed as a substitute if it operates at 433MHz?

A: TI.10.0111 is not a functional substitute for the EXC902SM. The 433MHz frequency band does not overlap with the required 902MHz ~ 960MHz operating range. This part was included in the original substitute list but does not meet the primary substitution criterion of frequency band compatibility. It should not be selected for applications requiring 902MHz ~ 960MHz operation.

Q4: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: TG.30.8113 provides the highest inventory level at 9958 units in stock. This part covers the full 902MHz ~ 960MHz band with extended coverage to 824MHz, maintains SMA male termination and connector mount interface, and includes IP67 ingress protection. Inventory for other compatible substitutes: TG.10.0113 (3007 units), TG.30.8113W (1668 units), and TI.19.2113 (979 units).

Q5: What are the mechanical constraints when substituting the EXC902SM?

A: The EXC902SM has a maximum height of 92.71mm with straight-mount configuration. All identified substitutes feature tilt configuration and greater heights: TI.19.2113 (389.00mm), TG.30.8113/TG.30.8113W (185.90mm), and TG.10.0113 (168.00mm). Design enclosures, mounting brackets, and cable routing must accommodate these dimensional changes. Straight-mount requirement cannot be satisfied by listed substitutes.

Q6: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The EXC902SM is RoHS Compliant. All identified substitutes (TI.19.2113, TG.30.8113, TG.30.8113W, TG.10.0113, and TI.10.0111) are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. All parts maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Q7: What power rating should I consider for my application?

A: The EXC902SM is rated for 50W maximum power. Substitutes are rated lower: TI.19.2113, TG.30.8113, and TG.30.8113W at 10W; TG.10.0113 and TI.10.0111 at 5W. If your application requires the full 50W capacity, the EXC902SM must be retained. For applications operating below 10W, TI.19.2113, TG.30.8113, or TG.30.8113W are suitable. For applications below 5W, all substitutes are acceptable from a power perspective.

Q8: Which substitute provides the narrowest frequency range?

A: TI.19.2113 provides the narrowest frequency range at 902MHz ~ 928MHz (26MHz bandwidth), matching the lower portion of the EXC902SM specification. This part is optimized for the 915MHz WiFi band. TG.30.8113, TG.30.8113W, and TG.10.0113 provide wider coverage spanning 824MHz ~ 960MHz, suitable for multi-band applications.
