RI-ANT-S02C-30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RI-ANT-S02C-30 is an RFID stick antenna operating at 134.2kHz frequency, manufactured by Texas Instruments. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing system support and new designs. The antenna features a 0.1m cable configuration and is ROHS3 compliant. Due to its discontinued status, substitute parts from active manufacturers are required to maintain supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RI-ANT-S02C-30 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Operating frequency of 134.2kHz (mandatory match)
• RFID antenna functional category
• RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 or equivalent RoHS Compliant)
• ECCN classification EAR99
• HTSUS code 8529.10.9100

The identified substitutes, V680-HS52-R 2M and V680-HS52-W 2M, both manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, meet these core electrical and regulatory requirements. Both parts are active products with current inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply chain viability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both V680-HS52-R 2M and V680-HS52-W 2M are suitable substitutes for the obsolete RI-ANT-S02C-30. Selection between these two Omron alternatives depends on application-specific environmental requirements:

The V680-HS52-R 2M is designated as a robotic HF M22 diameter antenna, suitable for standard industrial robotic applications.

The V680-HS52-W 2M is designated as an IP67 HF M22 diameter antenna, providing enhanced environmental protection for applications requiring ingress protection against dust and water immersion.

Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications at 134.2kHz frequency and equivalent regulatory compliance (RoHS, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8529.10.9100). Both are active products with established supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the RI-ANT-S02C-30 being replaced? A: The RI-ANT-S02C-30 is classified as obsolete by Texas Instruments. Active substitute parts ensure continued availability and supply chain reliability for new designs and system maintenance.

Q: What is the primary substitution criterion for these parts? A: The 134.2kHz operating frequency is the primary electrical parameter determining substitution eligibility. All qualified substitutes operate at this identical frequency.

Q: Are the Omron substitutes electrically equivalent? A: Yes. Both V680-HS52-R 2M and V680-HS52-W 2M operate at 134.2kHz and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications with the original part, confirming electrical and regulatory equivalence.

Q: What is the difference between V680-HS52-R 2M and V680-HS52-W 2M? A: The V680-HS52-W 2M includes IP67 environmental protection, suitable for applications requiring protection against dust and water. The V680-HS52-R 2M is specified for standard robotic applications without this enhanced protection rating.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both V680-HS52-R 2M and V680-HS52-W 2M are RoHS compliant, meeting the same regulatory requirements as the original ROHS3 compliant RI-ANT-S02C-30.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts? A: Both Omron substitutes are supplied in bulk packaging.
