GF-8705 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GF-8705 is a GNSS disciplined oscillator with RF IC functionality, operating at GPS frequencies of 1.575GHz and 1.602GHz. Manufactured by Kaga Electronics USA, this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for system redesign, maintenance, and component sourcing in applications requiring GNSS-disciplined oscillator functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GF-8705 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Function: RF Oscillator capability
• Package / Case: Module form factor
• Mounting Type: User Defined compatibility
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant certification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• HTSUS Classification: 8542.39.0001 (RF IC components)

The GF-8805 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching function, package type, mounting configuration, RoHS compliance, MSL rating, and tariff classification. While the GF-8805 operates as a general-purpose RF oscillator rather than GPS-specific, it maintains the same module packaging and environmental specifications required for equivalent electrical and mechanical integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GF-8805 is available as an active product with current inventory (832 Pcs), whereas the GF-8705 is obsolete. Both components share identical RoHS compliance, MSL rating, HTSUS classification, and module packaging specifications. The GF-8805 maintains the same mechanical and environmental compatibility required for direct substitution in module-based RF oscillator applications. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific frequency requirements and RF type compatibility with system design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GF-8805 directly replace the GF-8705 in existing designs?

A: The GF-8805 matches the GF-8705 in package type (Module), mounting configuration (User Defined), RoHS compliance, and MSL rating. Substitution is mechanically and environmentally compatible. Application-specific frequency and RF type requirements must be evaluated against system specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between GF-8705 and GF-8805?

A: The GF-8705 is GPS-specific (1.575GHz, 1.602GHz) and obsolete. The GF-8805 is general-purpose and active. Both are module-packaged RF oscillators with identical environmental and compliance ratings.

Q: Why is the GF-8705 listed as obsolete?

A: The GF-8705 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The GF-8805 is the active equivalent offering from Kaga Electronics USA for RF oscillator module applications.

Q: Are there any packaging or mounting differences?

A: No. Both components use Module packaging with User Defined mounting type, ensuring identical form factor and integration requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the GF-8705 and GF-8805 are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for unlimited shelf life storage.
