Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PIS-0392 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Frequency Range: 860MHz ~ 930MHz
• Antenna Type: Whip, Straight
• Gain: 5.8dBi
• Termination: N Type Male
• Mounting Type: Bracket Mount
• Power Rating: 20 W
• Frequency Group: UHF (300MHz ~ 1GHz)
• RF Family/Standard: General ISM
• Applications: LoRa
• Height (Max): 31.496" (800.00mm)

Substitute Parts Identified:

The following Pi Supply manufactured components meet all primary equivalence criteria:

• PIS-0394 (LoRa Ant Peak 5.8dBi 915MHz IPEX)
• PIS-0386 (LoRa Ant Peak 5.8dBi 433MHz SMA)
• PIS-0391 (LoRa Ant Peak 5.8dBi 433MHz IPEX)
• PIS-0390 (LoRa Ant Peak 5.8dBi 923MHz SMA)
• PIS-0387 (LoRa Ant Peak 5.8dBi 470MHz SMA)

Secondary Equivalent:

The NBR-0043 (Nebra 5.8dBi Glass Fiber LoRa Antenna) operates in a different frequency band (420MHz ~ 470MHz, center 445MHz) and features different mounting options (Bracket, Connector Mount). This part shares antenna type, gain, termination, and power rating specifications but operates outside the primary frequency range of PIS-0392.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Full Parametric Equivalence):

Parts PIS-0394, PIS-0391, PIS-0390, PIS-0387, and PIS-0386 are direct parametric equivalents to PIS-0392. All five parts share identical electrical specifications including frequency range (860MHz ~ 930MHz), antenna type (Whip, Straight), gain (5.8dBi), termination (N Type Male), mounting configuration (Bracket Mount), physical height (31.496" / 800mm), and power rating (20 W). All are classified as obsolete with identical compliance certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8517.71.0000) and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Secondary Equivalent (Frequency Band Variation):

The NBR-0043 from Nebra represents an alternative with active product status. This component maintains electrical equivalence in antenna type, gain, termination, and power rating but operates in the 420MHz ~ 470MHz frequency band (center 445MHz) rather than the 860MHz ~ 930MHz band of PIS-0392. The NBR-0043 features different mounting options (Bracket, Connector Mount) and reduced physical height (19.685" / 500mm). Selection of NBR-0043 requires confirmation that the 420MHz ~ 470MHz frequency band aligns with system requirements. The active product status of NBR-0043 provides ongoing availability advantage compared to obsolete alternatives.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations:

All identified substitutes carry identical export control classifications (ECCN: EAR99) and harmonized tariff codes (HTSUS: 8517.71.0000). The NBR-0043 includes RoHS3 compliance certification, which is not specified for other alternatives. Selection should account for regulatory requirements specific to the target application and geographic deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes PIS-0394, PIS-0391, PIS-0390, PIS-0387, and PIS-0386 suitable substitutes for PIS-0392?

A: These five parts are direct parametric equivalents. They share identical frequency range (860MHz ~ 930MHz), antenna type (Whip, Straight), gain (5.8dBi), termination (N Type Male), mounting type (Bracket Mount), physical dimensions (31.496" / 800mm height), power rating (20 W), and RF family classification (General ISM). All are designed for LoRa applications within the UHF frequency group.

Q: Can NBR-0043 replace PIS-0392 in all applications?

A: NBR-0043 is not a direct replacement for all applications. While it maintains antenna type, gain, termination, and power specifications, it operates in the 420MHz ~ 470MHz frequency band instead of 860MHz ~ 930MHz. Selection of NBR-0043 requires confirmation that the lower frequency band is compatible with system requirements. Additionally, NBR-0043 features different mounting options (Bracket, Connector Mount) and reduced physical height (19.685" / 500mm).

Q: What is the significance of product status (Obsolete vs. Active) in component selection?

A: Product status indicates manufacturing and supply availability. PIS-0392 and its five direct parametric equivalents (PIS-0394, PIS-0391, PIS-0390, PIS-0387, PIS-0386) are all classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. NBR-0043 maintains active product status, providing ongoing manufacturing and supply chain availability. For new designs or long-term procurement, active status components offer supply continuity advantages.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility considerations between PIS-0392 and its substitutes?

A: All six Pi Supply parts (PIS-0392, PIS-0394, PIS-0391, PIS-0390, PIS-0387, PIS-0386) share identical mounting type (Bracket Mount) and physical height (31.496" / 800mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing installations. NBR-0043 differs in mounting configuration (Bracket, Connector Mount) and reduced height (19.685" / 500mm), requiring mechanical re-evaluation for physical installation.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these antenna components?

A: All identified parts carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8517.71.0000. All maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. NBR-0043 includes additional RoHS3 compliance certification. Regulatory requirements specific to target markets should be confirmed during component selection.

Q: How do the electrical parameters ensure functional equivalence?

A: Functional equivalence is established through matching of critical electrical parameters: frequency range (860MHz ~ 930MHz for primary substitutes), antenna type (Whip, Straight), gain (5.8dBi), termination type (N Type Male), and power rating (20 W). These parameters determine RF performance characteristics and system integration compatibility. Frequency band alignment is essential for LoRa application compatibility.
