MTQ-LNA7-B02 Cellular 4G LTE CAT-1 Transceiver Module

Part Overview

The MTQ-LNA7-B02 is a Cellular 4G LTE CAT-1 transceiver module designed for AT&T and Verizon networks with HSPA+ capability. This module features chassis mount packaging and operates without an integrated antenna. The product is currently obsolete, with an inventory of 1,065 pieces available. Substitute parts are necessary to maintain system compatibility with active product lines and ensure long-term component availability from current manufacturing sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTQ-LNA7-B02 is determined by the following key parameters:

• Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts must be manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc. to ensure design compatibility and certification alignment.
• Protocol Compatibility: Substitute parts must support identical 4G LTE CAT-1 (AT&T/Verizon) and HSPA+ protocols.
• Series Alignment: All substitutes belong to the MultiTech Dragonfly™ series, maintaining mechanical and electrical integration standards.
• Mounting Type: Chassis mount configuration must be preserved across all substitutions.
• Regulatory Compliance: All parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings.
• Product Status: Substitutes must be in Active production status to ensure availability and supply continuity.

The two substitute parts, MTQ-LNA7-B02.R1A and MTQ-LNA7-B02.R2, meet all substitution criteria and represent current production revisions of the base platform.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: MTQ-LNA7-B02.R1A or MTQ-LNA7-B02.R2 are functionally equivalent replacements for the obsolete MTQ-LNA7-B02. Both substitutes are currently in active production, ensuring long-term component availability.

Compliance Status: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1), supporting deployment in standard electronic assemblies without additional environmental controls.

Production Availability: The MTQ-LNA7-B02.R1A (1,082 units in stock) and MTQ-LNA7-B02.R2 (839 units in stock) are available as active products, whereas the original MTQ-LNA7-B02 is obsolete and remaining inventory is finite.

Interface Enhancement: The substitute parts provide expanded serial interface support (UART and USB) compared to the original part (USB only), offering increased design flexibility without compromising backward compatibility in USB-configured systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTQ-LNA7-B02.R1A and MTQ-LNA7-B02.R2 be directly swapped with the MTQ-LNA7-B02?

A: Both substitute parts maintain identical protocol support (4G LTE CAT-1 and HSPA+), mounting configuration (chassis mount), and compliance ratings. The substitutes are direct functional replacements for the obsolete original part.

Q: What is the difference between MTQ-LNA7-B02.R1A and MTQ-LNA7-B02.R2?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical specifications, protocol support, operating temperature range, and physical characteristics. The difference designation (.R1A vs .R2) indicates engineering revisions. Both are active products suitable for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Why do the substitute parts specify U.FL antenna connectivity while the original does not?

A: The original MTQ-LNA7-B02 documentation does not detail antenna connector specifications. The substitute parts explicitly specify U.FL connector type, providing clearer interface definition for antenna selection and integration.

Q: Are there voltage or current compatibility concerns when substituting MTQ-LNA7-B02 with the recommended replacements?

A: The substitute parts operate at 3.3V to 5V supply voltage with 28mA current draw during both receive and transmit modes. Verify that your power distribution design supports this voltage range and current requirement, as the original part specifications do not document these parameters.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different mounting hardware?

A: No. All parts maintain chassis mount configuration. Existing mechanical mounting designs for the MTQ-LNA7-B02 are compatible with MTQ-LNA7-B02.R1A and MTQ-LNA7-B02.R2.
