GF-8702 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GF-8702 is an IC GNSS Disciplined Oscillator in a 16-DIP Module package, manufactured by Kaga Electronics USA as part of the GF-78 series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The GF-8702 serves as a precision frequency reference for GNSS-disciplined applications requiring through-hole mounting in legacy or specialized equipment configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The GF-8802 is identified as a direct substitute for the GF-8702 based on the following alignment criteria:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Kaga Electronics USA (same manufacturer)
• Functional Category: GNSS Disciplined Oscillator / RF Oscillator
• RoHS Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Export Classification: Both assigned ECCN 7A994
• Package Type: Both supplied as Module format

The GF-8802 represents an active product status alternative, providing continued availability for the GNSS disciplined oscillator function previously served by the obsolete GF-8702.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the GF-8702 and GF-8802 should be based on the following engineering criteria:

GF-8702 Selection:

• Existing inventory of 972 pieces supports continued use in legacy system maintenance and repair operations
• Obsolete status indicates no further manufacturing; use existing stock for near-term requirements only
• RoHS Compliant certification and MSL 1 rating maintain compliance with current environmental and reliability standards

GF-8802 Selection:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements
• Equivalent RoHS Compliance and MSL 1 rating provide identical environmental and reliability characteristics
• Higher inventory level (1054 pieces) supports sustained procurement for production volumes
• Recommended for all new design implementations and systems requiring extended component lifecycle support

Both parts share identical export classification (ECCN 7A994) and regulatory compliance status, eliminating additional qualification requirements for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GF-8802 directly replace the GF-8702 in existing designs?

A: The GF-8802 serves as the designated substitute for the obsolete GF-8702. Both components are manufactured by Kaga Electronics USA, maintain identical RoHS Compliance and MSL 1 ratings, and share the same export classification. Physical mounting and electrical interface compatibility must be verified against specific application requirements and PCB layout specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the mounting types listed for each part?

A: The GF-8702 specifies Through Hole mounting, while the GF-8802 lists User Defined mounting. This distinction reflects the original design specification versus the active product's flexible implementation options. Application-specific mounting requirements should be confirmed with the manufacturer's current technical documentation.

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

A: Both the GF-8702 and GF-8802 maintain identical RoHS Compliance status, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), and ECCN 7A994 export classification. No additional compliance qualification is required for substitution between these parts.

Q: Why is the GF-8702 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the GF-8702 is no longer in active production. The GF-8802 represents the active product continuation for GNSS disciplined oscillator applications. Existing GF-8702 inventory remains available for legacy system support.

Q: What packaging options are available for the GF-8802?

A: The GF-8802 is supplied in Bulk packaging format. Specific packaging quantities and configurations should be confirmed with the supplier for procurement planning.
