Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RM024-P10-M-30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• RF Family/Standard: General ISM > 1GHz
• Protocol: RAMP
• Modulation: FHSS
• Frequency: 2.4GHz
• Data Rate: 500kbps
• Power Output: 18dBm
• Sensitivity: -95dBm
• Serial Interface: UART
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.3V ~ 3.6V
• Current Consumption (Rx/Tx): 36mA / 166mA
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Module
• RoHS Compliance: Required

Antenna Configuration Difference: The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the antenna type. The RM024-P10-M-30 features an integrated chip antenna, while the RM024-P10-C-30 uses a U.FL connector with antenna not included. This difference affects physical integration but does not alter electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The RM024-P10-M-30 is classified as obsolete. The RM024-P10-C-30 is the active equivalent from Laird Connectivity Inc. and maintains identical electrical performance across all RF, protocol, modulation, frequency, data rate, power, sensitivity, and interface specifications.

Antenna Configuration Consideration:

Selection between these parts depends on antenna integration requirements:

• RM024-P10-M-30: Integrated chip antenna. Suitable for designs where antenna is embedded within the module footprint.
• RM024-P10-C-30: U.FL connector with antenna not included. Requires external antenna selection and integration. Provides flexibility for antenna optimization in specific applications.

Compliance and Availability:

Both parts are RoHS Compliant. The RM024-P10-C-30 holds Active product status with 2716 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity. The RM024-P10-M-30 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (940 units).

Moisture Sensitivity:

The RM024-P10-M-30 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the RM024-P10-C-30 carries MSL 3 (168 Hours). Storage and handling procedures must reflect the higher moisture sensitivity of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RM024-P10-C-30 directly replace RM024-P10-M-30 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is direct. All RF, protocol, modulation, frequency, data rate, power output, sensitivity, serial interface, supply voltage, current consumption, and operating temperature specifications are identical. Physical integration differs due to antenna configuration. The RM024-P10-M-30 uses an integrated chip antenna, while the RM024-P10-C-30 requires external antenna connection via U.FL connector.

Q: What is the impact of the antenna type difference?

A: The integrated chip antenna in RM024-P10-M-30 is factory-tuned and occupies module space. The U.FL connector in RM024-P10-C-30 allows selection of external antennas optimized for specific application environments. PCB layout and antenna placement strategies will differ between designs.

Q: Are there supply chain advantages to using RM024-P10-C-30?

A: Yes. The RM024-P10-C-30 is Active with 2716 units in current inventory. The RM024-P10-M-30 is Obsolete with 940 units remaining. For new production and long-term availability, RM024-P10-C-30 is the supported choice.

Q: What are the moisture sensitivity implications?

A: RM024-P10-M-30 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture exposure allowed). RM024-P10-C-30 carries MSL 3 (168-hour floor life after moisture exposure). Storage in dry conditions and adherence to MSL 3 handling procedures are required for the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both RM024-P10-M-30 and RM024-P10-C-30 are RoHS Compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the base product number relationship?

A: Both parts share the base product number RM024-P10. The suffix designates specific configurations: -M-30 for integrated chip antenna, -C-30 for U.FL connector configuration.
