Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M830510 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Antenna type: Chip configuration
• Frequency coverage: Dual-band operation supporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
• Frequency range overlap: Minimum coverage of 2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz and 4.9GHz ~ 5.8GHz
• Mounting type: Surface mount with solder termination
• Physical dimensions: Height compatibility at or below 0.052" (1.33mm)
• Gain characteristics: Comparable performance in both frequency bands
• VSWR performance: Impedance matching within acceptable limits

Direct Substitute (M830520): Manufactured by the same supplier (Ethertronics/AVX) within the Savvi™ series, this part maintains identical electrical performance specifications and physical dimensions while offering active product status and improved frequency range definition.

Similar Substitute (2450AD46A5400001E): Manufactured by Johanson Technology Inc., this part covers the required frequency bands with comparable antenna type and mounting configuration, though with variations in gain characteristics and physical height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

M830520 (Direct Substitute): This part is the primary equivalent for M830510 replacement. Both components share identical electrical performance specifications (gain, VSWR) and physical dimensions. M830520 maintains active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and production continuity. The frequency range definition is more granular but covers all required operating bands.

2450AD46A5400001E (Similar Substitute): This part provides functional equivalence for applications where gain variation is acceptable. The component covers the full required frequency range (2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz and 4.9GHz ~ 5.9GHz) with a lower physical profile (0.047" vs 0.052"). Gain characteristics differ significantly in the 5GHz band (-1.5dBi vs 3.2dBi), requiring circuit-level evaluation. ROHS3 compliance and active status support modern supply chain requirements.

Selection between M830520 and 2450AD46A5400001E depends on gain performance requirements in the 5GHz band and PCB layout constraints related to component height.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M830520 be used as a direct replacement for M830510? A: Yes. M830520 is electrically and mechanically equivalent, with identical gain (1.1dBi, 3.2dBi), VSWR (2.6, 3), and physical dimensions (0.052" height). Both use solder surface mount termination and support the same applications.

Q: What are the key differences between M830520 and 2450AD46A5400001E? A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Ethertronics/AVX vs Johanson Technology), gain in the 5GHz band (3.2dBi vs -1.5dBi), physical height (0.052" vs 0.047"), and VSWR specification availability. Both cover required frequency ranges and support surface mount solder termination.

Q: Is the gain difference between M830510 and 2450AD46A5400001E significant? A: Yes. The 5GHz band gain differs by 4.7dBi (3.2dBi vs -1.5dBi). This variation requires circuit-level analysis to determine system impact. Applications with strict gain requirements should prioritize M830520.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: M830520 is RoHS Compliant. 2450AD46A5400001E is ROHS3 Compliant. The main part M830510 does not specify RoHS status due to obsolete status.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components? A: All three parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these antennas be used interchangeably in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee™ applications? A: M830510 and M830520 are interchangeable across all specified applications. 2450AD46A5400001E is specified for Wi-Fi applications; use in Bluetooth and Zigbee™ systems requires gain performance validation.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: M830510 is available in standard packaging. M830520 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. 2450AD46A5400001E is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format.
