Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution Basis:

The RM024-S125-C-30 is a direct functional equivalent to the RM024-S125-C-01. All RF performance parameters, electrical specifications, and physical interface requirements are identical. The substitute part operates within the same frequency band (2.4GHz), maintains equivalent output power (21dBm), sensitivity (-95dBm), and supply voltage range (2.3V ~ 3.6V).

Compliance and Status Advantages:

The RM024-S125-C-30 holds Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. The substitute part carries RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in regulated markets. The original RM024-S125-C-01, classified as Obsolete, no longer receives manufacturer support or guaranteed supply.

Current Consumption Consideration:

Receiving current specifications show the substitute part operates at a fixed 36mA, which falls within the upper range of the original part's 9.5mA ~ 36mA specification. Transmitting current for the substitute (40mA ~ 136mA) is contained within the original part's range (40mA ~ 166mA). Both configurations remain compatible with power supply designs based on the original specification.

Packaging and Handling:

The RM024-S125-C-30 is supplied in Tray packaging format. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3, 168 Hours) and surface mount mounting type, requiring equivalent handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RM024-S125-C-30 be used as a direct replacement for the RM024-S125-C-01 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RM024-S125-C-30 is functionally equivalent across all RF performance parameters, electrical specifications, and physical interfaces. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (RM024-S125-C-01 is Obsolete; RM024-S125-C-30 is Active), packaging format (Tray for the substitute), and regulatory certifications (RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected for the substitute). All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any current consumption differences I should account for?

A: The receiving current specification differs slightly. The RM024-S125-C-30 operates at a fixed 36mA, while the original part specified a range of 9.5mA ~ 36mA. The substitute's transmitting current range (40mA ~ 136mA) is contained within the original specification (40mA ~ 166mA). Both parts are compatible with power supply designs based on the original specifications.

Q: Does the Tray packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. Tray packaging is a supply format consideration only. Both parts use identical surface mount mounting type, MSL rating, and physical module package. Tray packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What regulatory advantages does the RM024-S125-C-30 provide?

A: The RM024-S125-C-30 carries RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. These certifications ensure compliance with current environmental and hazardous substance regulations in regulated markets. The original RM024-S125-C-01 does not specify these certifications.

Q: Is the RM024-S125-C-30 available in sufficient quantities?

A: Yes. The RM024-S125-C-30 is classified as Active product status with 1900 pieces in new original stock, ensuring reliable supply availability compared to the Obsolete RM024-S125-C-01.

Q: Are the antenna connector specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature U.FL antenna connectors with antenna not included. No antenna modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the RM024-S125-C-01 and RM024-S125-C-30 operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
