Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the POM-2240P-C33-R is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Microphone type: Electret Condenser
• Output type: Analog
• Directional pattern: Omnidirectional
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Physical dimensions: 0.236" Dia (6.00mm) with 0.094" (2.40mm) maximum height
• Port location: Top
• Shape: Circular
• Voltage range compatibility: 2V ~ 10V operation
• Impedance: 2.2 kOhms
• Current supply: 500 µA

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Sensitivity: ±3dB tolerance band allows for minor deviations within specification limits
• S/N Ratio: Equivalent or superior performance acceptable
• Frequency range: Additional specification acceptable if not conflicting with application requirements
• Product status: Active status preferred for long-term availability
• Compliance certifications: Enhanced compliance (RoHS3, REACH) acceptable

The POM-2242P-C33-R meets all mandatory matching criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The POM-2242P-C33-R is a qualified substitute for the POM-2240P-C33-R based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both components operate identically across voltage range (2V ~ 10V), impedance (2.2 kOhms), and current supply (500 µA). The sensitivity differential of 2dB falls within the ±3dB tolerance specification of both units, resulting in functionally equivalent audio capture performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical physical dimensions (0.236" diameter, 0.094" maximum height), circular form factor, top-mounted port location, and PC pin termination ensure direct mechanical interchangeability without PCB redesign.

Product Status Advantage: The POM-2242P-C33-R holds active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete POM-2240P-C33-R.

Compliance Enhancement: The POM-2242P-C33-R carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Frequency Range Addition: The POM-2242P-C33-R specifies a 50 Hz to 16 kHz frequency range, providing documented performance parameters not listed for the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the POM-2242P-C33-R replace the POM-2240P-C33-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (voltage range, impedance, current supply), mechanical dimensions, and termination style. The 2dB sensitivity difference is within specification tolerance and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two models?

A: The POM-2242P-C33-R has a sensitivity rating of -42dB compared to -40dB for the POM-2240P-C33-R. Both ratings include ±3dB tolerance, making them functionally equivalent. The substitute part also includes ROHS3 compliance certification and an active product status.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The POM-2240P-C33-R is listed with standard packaging, while the POM-2242P-C33-R is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical PC pin termination and form factors.

Q: Does the frequency range specification affect substitution?

A: The POM-2242P-C33-R specifies a 50 Hz to 16 kHz frequency range. This documented specification does not conflict with the main part and provides additional performance clarity for system design purposes.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory considerations?

A: The POM-2242P-C33-R carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status.
