Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTQ-LVW3-B02-SP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Protocol Compatibility: The substitute must support 4G LTE CAT-1 standard for AT&T and T-Mobile networks.

Frequency Band Coverage: The substitute must operate across all four frequency bands: 700MHz, 850MHz, 1.7GHz, and 1.9GHz.

Serial Interface Support: The substitute must provide I2C, SPI, UART, and USB interfaces.

Antenna Connectivity: The substitute must feature U.FL connector type with chassis mount configuration.

Power Supply Voltage: The substitute must operate at 5V supply voltage.

Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must maintain functionality across -40°C to 85°C.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute must maintain ROHS3 compliance status.

The MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer within the MultiConnect Dragonfly series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTQ-LVW3-B02-SP and MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these components should be based on current inventory availability and packaging requirements.

The MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP offers reduced current consumption during receiving and transmitting operations (37mA versus 58mA), which may provide thermal and power efficiency benefits in applications with constrained power budgets. Both components maintain identical protocol support, frequency band coverage, serial interface configuration, and regulatory compliance status.

Packaging differs between the two parts: MTQ-LVW3-B02-SP is supplied in bulk packaging, while MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP is supplied in tray packaging. This distinction may affect handling, storage, and integration workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP directly replace MTQ-LVW3-B02-SP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical protocol support (4G LTE CAT-1), frequency band coverage (700MHz, 850MHz, 1.7GHz, 1.9GHz), serial interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, USB), antenna connectivity (U.FL chassis mount), supply voltage (5V), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP exhibits lower current consumption, which is compatible with existing power delivery designs.

Q: What is the difference in current consumption between these parts?

A: The MTQ-LVW3-B02-SP draws 58mA during both receiving and transmitting operations. The MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP draws 37mA during both receiving and transmitting operations. This 21mA reduction per operation may reduce thermal dissipation and extend battery life in portable applications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching between these parts?

A: Yes. The MTQ-LVW3-B02-SP is supplied in bulk packaging, while the MTQ-LVW3-B02.R2-SP is supplied in tray packaging. Verify that your assembly and handling processes accommodate the packaging format of your selected component.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level classification.

Q: Why are both parts classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that these components are no longer in active production. Existing inventory may be available through authorized distributors. For new designs requiring 4G LTE CAT-1 cellular connectivity, evaluate current-generation alternatives from Multi-Tech Systems Inc. or other manufacturers.
