Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection is strictly based on the following key parameters as provided:

• Manufacturer
• Frequency Range: 617MHz ~ 2.2GHz
• Serial Interfaces: GPIO, JTAG, UART, USB
• Antenna Type: Integrated, Chip
• Voltage Supply Range: 2.2V ~ 5.5V
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package / Case: Module
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• ECCN: 5A992C
• HTSUS: 8517.62.0090

Substitute candidates must match all these parameters to ensure immediate and direct compatibility within this category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Since MONARCH-GO is classified as Obsolete, selection must prioritize alternatives with matching compliance, certification, and mechanical settings. The MONARCH-GO-GPS remains Active, matches all required compliance parameters including ROHS3, ECCN, HTSUS, and shares equivalent mechanical dimensions (module, chassis mount). Both are tray-packaged and maintain manufacturer reliability within the specified supply voltage and supported interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the mandatory criteria for substituting MONARCH-GO?
A1: Criteria include manufacturer, frequency range (617MHz ~ 2.2GHz), serial interfaces (GPIO, JTAG, UART, USB), integrated chip antenna, supply voltage (2.2V ~ 5.5V), chassis mount, module package, and required compliance (ROHS3, ECCN 5A992C, HTSUS 8517.62.0090).

Q2: Are there any compatibility concerns between MONARCH-GO and MONARCH-GO-GPS?
A2: No, all common key parameters align exactly between MONARCH-GO and MONARCH-GO-GPS as outlined in the comparison table.

Q3: Does packaging or mounting differ between substitute candidates?
A3: Both MONARCH-GO and MONARCH-GO-GPS utilize tray packaging, are supplied as module package/case, and are designed for chassis mount applications.

Q4: Is ROHS3 compliance and certification status maintained in the substitute part?
A4: Yes, MONARCH-GO-GPS retains ROHS3 compliance, ECCN 5A992C, and HTSUS 8517.62.0090, matching the original part.

Q5: Should substitutions be considered if the original part is still in stock?
A5: Substitution consideration is based solely on product status (Obsolete) and the need for lifecycle continuity within designs; the substitute part remains active and available.
