Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC7620_1104625 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• RF Family/Standard: Cellular, Navigation
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package/Case: 239-BFLGA Module
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours)
• Serial Interfaces: ADC, GPIO, I2C, UART, USB
• Frequency Bands: 900MHz, 1.8GHz
• Data Rate: 150Mbps
• ECCN Classification: 5A992C
• HTSUS Code: 8517.62.0090

The RC7620_1105026 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all mandatory parameter specifications. While the substitute part supports an extended protocol set (BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS, LTE) compared to the original part (2G, 3G, 4G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM, LTE, UMTS), this represents functional enhancement rather than incompatibility. Both parts operate within identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental constraints.
