Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTSMC-L4G1.R1A is a direct substitute for the MTSMC-L4G1. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, frequency band support, data rate capability, power requirements, and thermal operating range. The primary distinction is product status: the MTSMC-L4G1 is Obsolete, while the MTSMC-L4G1.R1A is Active.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring cellular 4G LTE CAT-4 transceiver functionality, the MTSMC-L4G1.R1A is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The packaging difference (the substitute is supplied in Box packaging versus the original's unspecified packaging) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both modules feature identical through-hole mounting, U.FL antenna connectors, and serial interface specifications.
