Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSMC-G2-GP-ED is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Frequency band support: 850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz
• Protocol support: GPRS and GPS
• Data rate: 921.6kbps
• Power output: 33dBm
• Sensitivity: -108dBm
• Serial interface: UART
• Antenna connector: U.FL Through Hole
• Supply voltage: 5V
• Current consumption: 280mA (receive and transmit)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The MTSMC-G2-GP-ED.R1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Both parts share identical base product designation (MTSMC-G2) and maintain full compatibility with existing circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSMC-G2-GP-ED and MTSMC-G2-GP-ED.R1 are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and compliance requirements. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring cellular GPRS/GPS transceiver functionality with 5V operation and UART serial communication.

The MTSMC-G2-GP-ED.R1 represents a revision designation of the base MTSMC-G2 platform and maintains full parameter alignment with the original MTSMC-G2-GP-ED, supporting direct substitution in existing designs without circuit modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTSMC-G2-GP-ED.R1 be used as a direct replacement for MTSMC-G2-GP-ED?

A: Yes. The MTSMC-G2-GP-ED.R1 is a direct substitute. All electrical parameters, frequency bands, data rates, power specifications, serial interfaces, antenna connectors, supply voltage, current consumption, operating temperature range, and mounting type are identical. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: frequency band support (850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz), protocol support (GPRS/GPS), data rate (921.6kbps), power output (33dBm), sensitivity (-108dBm), UART serial interface, U.FL through-hole antenna connector, 5V supply voltage, 280mA current consumption, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, through-hole mounting, and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole mounting and module packaging. The U.FL antenna connector interface is identical on both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the .R1 designation?

A: The .R1 suffix indicates a revision level of the base MTSMC-G2 product. This revision maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original MTSMC-G2-GP-ED, allowing direct substitution without design changes.

Q: Are both parts still in production?

A: No. Both the MTSMC-G2-GP-ED and MTSMC-G2-GP-ED.R1 are classified as obsolete products. Component sourcing should prioritize available inventory from authorized distributors.
