Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAF94080 is determined by the following criteria based on provided parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Antenna Type classification (Whip configuration)
• Manufacturer alignment (TE Connectivity Laird product family)
• Regulatory compliance (ECCN and HTSUS code alignment)
• Moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1 or equivalent)
• Physical form factor compatibility (right-angle or tilt mounting orientation)

The MAF94080 is listed with one substitute part: MAF94110. This substitute maintains the same manufacturer, regulatory classification codes, and moisture sensitivity level. Both components share the whip antenna configuration and are classified under identical ECCN (5A991G) and HTSUS (8529.10.9100) codes, indicating regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Component Replacement:

The MAF94080 carries Obsolete product status, which typically indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The MAF94110 is classified as Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and long-term supply chain reliability.

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment:

Both the MAF94080 and MAF94110 share identical ECCN (5A991G) and HTSUS (8529.10.9100) classifications. This regulatory equivalence ensures that substitution does not introduce compliance complications for export, import, or tariff documentation purposes.

Moisture Sensitivity Equivalence:

Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity characteristics and storage requirements.

Physical Configuration Consideration:

The MAF94080 features right-angle mounting, while the MAF94110 features tilt mounting. Selection between these configurations depends on the specific mechanical integration requirements of the target application. Both maintain whip antenna form factor classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAF94110 directly replace the MAF94080 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is possible based on regulatory and electrical parameter alignment. However, the physical mounting orientation differs: MAF94080 uses right-angle mounting while MAF94110 uses tilt mounting. Mechanical integration compatibility must be verified for the specific application.

Q: Why is the MAF94080 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity Laird has discontinued manufacturing of this component. For new designs or long-term production requirements, the Active-status MAF94110 provides regulatory and electrical equivalence with assured supply continuity.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity requirements identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the MAF94080 and MAF94110 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity characteristics and equivalent storage and handling requirements.

Q: What is the significance of matching ECCN and HTSUS codes?

A: ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) and HTSUS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States) code alignment ensures that substitution does not alter export control status or tariff classification. Both components fall under identical regulatory categories (5A991G and 8529.10.9100 respectively).

Q: Are there packaging differences between the MAF94080 and MAF94110?

A: The MAF94080 packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The MAF94110 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed based on specific procurement and assembly process needs.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these components?

A: The MAF94080 has 916 pieces in new original stock, while the MAF94110 has 671 pieces available. Given the Obsolete status of the MAF94080, current inventory may represent final available quantities. The MAF94110's Active status ensures replenishment capability.
