PCS.07.A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PCS.07.A is an RF chip antenna manufactured by Taoglas Limited, designed for multi-band cellular applications. This component operates across five frequency bands (850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz, 2.1GHz) with a frequency range of 824MHz ~ 960MHz and 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz. The antenna supports CDMA, DCS, EDGE, GPRS, GSM, HSDPA, PCS, UMTS, and WCDMA standards. With an active product status and ROHS3 compliance, the PCS.07.A remains in current production. Substitute parts are identified when frequency coverage, antenna type, mounting method, and termination specifications align with the main component's electrical and mechanical requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PCS.07.A are qualified based on the following criteria:

Frequency Coverage: The substitute must operate within or encompass the frequency range 824MHz ~ 960MHz and 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz to maintain compatibility with the same cellular bands.

Antenna Type: Only chip antenna types are considered as substitutes to ensure form factor and integration compatibility.

Mounting and Termination: Surface mount with solder termination is required to match the original component's assembly method.

Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging ensures compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Compliance: RoHS3 compliance is mandatory for regulatory alignment.

The ANT4010F000RWPENA from Pulse Electronics meets these substitution criteria through matching frequency range coverage (824MHz ~ 960MHz, 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz), chip antenna type, surface mount configuration, solder termination, and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PCS.07.A and ANT4010F000RWPENA maintain active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. The ANT4010F000RWPENA is electrically qualified as a substitute based on identical frequency range coverage and matching mechanical/electrical interface specifications. The height difference of 0.40mm (3.40mm vs 3.00mm) must be evaluated within the specific PCB layout constraints of the target application. Component selection should be based on availability, lead time, and design margin requirements for the intended cellular application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ANT4010F000RWPENA replace the PCS.07.A in all applications?

A: The ANT4010F000RWPENA qualifies as a substitute based on matching frequency range, antenna type, mounting method, and termination. However, the 0.40mm height difference requires verification against PCB layout and enclosure clearance specifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Frequency range (824MHz ~ 960MHz, 1.71GHz ~ 2.17GHz), chip antenna type, surface mount configuration, solder termination, and ROHS3 compliance are the determining factors for substitution eligibility.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, both the PCS.07.A and ANT4010F000RWPENA are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, ensuring compatibility with standard automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference in number of bands between these parts?

A: The PCS.07.A supports five bands (850MHz, 900MHz, 1.8GHz, 1.9GHz, 2.1GHz), while the ANT4010F000RWPENA operates on two center frequencies (892MHz, 1.94GHz). Both cover the same overall frequency range required for cellular standards.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.
