GA1006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GA1006 is an 8 Ohm general purpose speaker rated at 2 W with a top port configuration, manufactured by CUI Devices. This speaker operates across a frequency range of 200 Hz to 15 kHz and delivers 92 dBA sound pressure level at 1W/500mm. The GA1006 is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific power requirements, or frequency response optimization needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The GF1004 qualifies as a substitute for the GA1006 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Impedance: 8 Ohms (identical)
• Port Location: Top (identical)
• Shape: Round, Square Frame (identical)
• Termination: Solder Eyelet(s) (identical)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Differing Parameters:

• Power - Rated: 6 W (vs. 2 W in GA1006)
• Power - Max: 10 W (vs. 3 W in GA1006)
• Frequency Range: 145 Hz ~ 17 kHz (vs. 200 Hz ~ 15 kHz in GA1006)
• Efficiency - dBA: 93.00 (vs. 92.00 in GA1006)
• Magnet Material: Ferrite (vs. Alnico in GA1006)
• Dimensions: 4.032" L x 4.032" W / 102.40mm x 102.40mm (vs. 103.00mm x 103.00mm in GA1006)
• Height: 1.437" (36.50mm) (vs. 1.417" / 36.00mm in GA1006)

The GF1004 maintains electrical compatibility through identical impedance and termination while offering enhanced power handling and extended frequency response.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both GA1006 and GF1004 maintain active production status with identical regulatory compliance profiles (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). The GF1004 is suitable for applications requiring higher power dissipation or extended low-frequency response. The GA1006 remains the appropriate selection for applications with strict power budget constraints at 2 W rated power. Dimensional differences are minimal (0.6 mm in length/width, 0.5 mm in height) and do not typically impact mechanical fit in standard speaker mounting configurations. Both parts utilize identical termination and impedance specifications, ensuring direct electrical compatibility in 8 Ohm audio circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GF1004 directly replace the GA1006 in existing designs? A: Yes, electrical compatibility is maintained through identical 8 Ohm impedance and solder eyelet termination. Dimensional differences are less than 1 mm and do not affect standard mounting. The GF1004 provides higher power handling capability without requiring circuit modifications.

Q: What are the key differences between GA1006 and GF1004? A: The GF1004 offers 6 W rated power versus 2 W in the GA1006, extended frequency range (145 Hz vs. 200 Hz lower limit), and 1 dBA higher efficiency. The GF1004 uses Ferrite magnets while the GA1006 uses Alnico magnets. Both maintain identical impedance, port location, and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there mechanical fit considerations when substituting? A: Dimensional variations are minimal. The GF1004 is 0.6 mm smaller in length and width but 0.5 mm taller in seated height. Standard speaker mounting frames accommodate these tolerances without modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements? A: Yes. Both GA1006 and GF1004 are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are active production parts from CUI Devices.

Q: Which part should be selected for power-constrained applications? A: The GA1006 is appropriate for applications limited to 2 W rated power. The GF1004 is suitable for applications requiring 6 W rated power or higher power headroom.
