MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED is a cellular GPRS/GSM transceiver module manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc. as part of the SocketModem® GPRS series. This RF transceiver module operates across 850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, and 1.9GHz frequency bands and provides UART serial interface connectivity for cellular communication applications. The module features MMCX through-hole antenna connector and requires 5V supply voltage.

The MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support legacy system maintenance where this module is currently deployed.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• RF Family/Standard: Cellular
• Protocol Support: GPRS and GSM
• Frequency Bands: 850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz
• Serial Interface: UART
• Antenna Connector: MMCX Through Hole
• Voltage Supply: 5V
• Current Requirements: 400mA receive, 400mA transmit
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C to 70°C
• Package Classification: Module
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED.R1 maintains identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications across all parameters listed above, establishing it as a direct equivalent within the SocketModem® GPRS product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED and MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED.R1 are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations.

The MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED.R1 is listed with 886 pieces in new original stock, compared to 753 pieces for the MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications requiring environmental and hazardous substance compliance.

For new designs or system replacements, alternative cellular transceiver modules from current product lines should be evaluated. For legacy system support and maintenance applications where the SocketModem® GPRS platform is already deployed, either part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED and MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED.R1 pin-for-pin compatible?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc. within the same SocketModem® GPRS series with identical mounting type (through hole), antenna connector (MMCX), and serial interface (UART). They share the same base product number (MTSMC-G) and maintain identical electrical specifications across all operating parameters.

Q: Can I substitute MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED.R1 in existing designs using MTSMC-G-F4-IP-ED?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters: frequency bands, data rate, voltage supply, current requirements, operating temperature range, and package type. No design modifications are required.

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

A: The ".R1" suffix indicates a revision level within the same product line. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications and are classified as direct substitutes within the SocketModem® GPRS series.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. MSL rating is 1 (unlimited) for both parts.

Q: Why are both parts listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Multi-Tech Systems Inc.'s product lifecycle management. Both parts remain available in inventory and are suitable for legacy system support and maintenance applications.
