Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAF95107 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Frequency Compatibility: The MAF95107 operates in the 802.11BG band (2.4GHz WLAN). Substitute parts must support the 2.4GHz frequency range to maintain RF performance in equivalent applications.

Connector Type: SMA male termination is the specified interface. Substitute parts must feature identical SMA male connectors to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing RF circuits.

Mounting Configuration: The original part is specified as right angle (RA) embedded antenna. Substitute parts must accommodate equivalent mounting configurations.

Regulatory Compliance: The original part carries ECCN 5A991G classification. Substitute parts must maintain compliance with applicable export control and trade regulations.

The W24-RSMA-M from Inventek Systems qualifies as a functional substitute based on these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MAF95107 is classified as obsolete. The W24-RSMA-M maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability.

Regulatory Compliance: The W24-RSMA-M carries EAR99 classification, which represents a less restrictive export control designation compared to the original part's 5A991G classification. The substitute part is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequency and Connector Alignment: Both parts operate within the 2.4GHz WLAN frequency band and feature SMA male connectors, establishing electrical compatibility for RF circuit integration.

Availability: The W24-RSMA-M is available in active inventory (1022 units), whereas the MAF95107 is obsolete. Selection of the substitute part ensures supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the W24-RSMA-M directly replace the MAF95107 in existing designs?

A: Both parts share SMA male termination and operate within the 2.4GHz WLAN frequency band. Physical form factor differences exist: the MAF95107 is an embedded nano antenna while the W24-RSMA-M is a whip antenna with connector mount. Circuit-level compatibility depends on available mounting space and antenna placement requirements in the target application.

Q: What are the key differences between these two antenna types?

A: The MAF95107 is specified as an embedded nano antenna, typically designed for compact internal mounting. The W24-RSMA-M is a whip antenna with right-angle connector mount, providing external mounting capability. The W24-RSMA-M provides documented RF performance parameters (VSWR 1.5, Return Loss -17dBi, Gain 2.15dBi) which are not specified for the original part.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The MAF95107 is obsolete with no current inventory. The W24-RSMA-M is actively manufactured and available in bulk packaging with 1022 units in stock, supporting both prototype and production volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The W24-RSMA-M is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute part's EAR99 classification may simplify export documentation compared to the original part's 5A991G designation.

Q: What is the height difference between these antennas?

A: The W24-RSMA-M specifies a maximum height of 1.829 inches (46.46mm). The MAF95107 height is not documented. Physical space constraints in the target application must be evaluated against the W24-RSMA-M's documented dimensions.
