Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MTSMC-MNA1-U is determined by the following critical parameters:

• RF Family/Standard: Cellular
• Protocol: 4G LTE CAT-1
• Frequency Bands: 700MHz, 1.7GHz, 1.9GHz
• Serial Interfaces: USB
• Antenna Connector: U.FL
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Voltage Supply Range: 3.3V ~ 5V
• Package Type: Module
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching RF family, protocol generation, frequency band coverage, serial interface type, antenna connector specification, mounting configuration, voltage supply compatibility, and regulatory compliance status. Variations in supported carrier networks (AT&T/T-Mobile vs. AT&T/Verizon), data rate specifications, current consumption ratings, and operating temperature ranges do not preclude substitution when network compatibility requirements are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MTSMC-MNA1-U. Both modules maintain identical RF specifications, frequency band coverage, serial interface protocols, antenna connector types, and mounting configurations. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating equivalent moisture sensitivity handling. The MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 provides an extended operating temperature minimum of -40°C compared to -35°C on the original part, offering improved performance in cold environment applications.

Selection between these parts depends on carrier network requirements. The MTSMC-MNA1-U supports AT&T/Verizon networks, while the MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 supports AT&T/T-Mobile networks. Confirm network compatibility with your system deployment before component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 replace MTSMC-MNA1-U in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided your system operates on AT&T or T-Mobile networks. Both modules share identical RF family classification, 4G LTE CAT-1 protocol support, frequency band coverage (700MHz, 1.7GHz, 1.9GHz), USB serial interface, U.FL antenna connector, Through Hole mounting, and 3.3V ~ 5V supply voltage compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are carrier network support (Verizon vs. T-Mobile), data rate specification (300kbps vs. 375kbps), documented current consumption (not specified vs. 28mA receive/transmit), operating temperature minimum (-35°C vs. -40°C), and product status (Obsolete vs. Active).

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The MTSMC-MNA1-U ships in standard packaging, while the MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 is packaged in Box format. Both modules use identical Through Hole mounting configuration and Module package type.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MTSMC-MNA1-U and MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited). The substitute part includes documented REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Select MTSMC-MNA1-U.R1 for new designs. It carries Active product status, ensuring manufacturer support and continued availability. Confirm AT&T or T-Mobile network compatibility with your application requirements.
