Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete S8064B is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts are sourced from TE Connectivity Laird, ensuring design compatibility and quality standards equivalent to the original component.

Regulatory Compliance: Both substitute parts (FG8063 and FG8066) maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, matching the environmental and regulatory requirements of the S8064B.

Frequency Band Alignment: Substitute parts operate within the UHF frequency group (300MHz to 1GHz), consistent with the original part's frequency classification.

Antenna Type and Mounting: Substitute parts are configured as whip, straight RF antennas with N Type Female termination and bracket mount configuration, providing mechanical and electrical compatibility with S8064B installation points.

Export Classification: All parts share identical ECCN classification (5A991G), confirming regulatory equivalence for international deployment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FG8063 Selection Criteria: The FG8063 is an active product with 3dBd gain, 200W maximum power handling, and physical dimensions (23.375 inches) closely aligned with the S8064B 23-inch pole mount specification. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring moderate gain performance and higher power dissipation capacity. RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating ensure environmental durability equivalent to the original part.

FG8066 Selection Criteria: The FG8066 is an active product with 6dBd gain and 100W maximum power handling. The increased physical height (65 inches) represents a significant dimensional departure from the S8064B specification. This substitute is applicable only when system design accommodates the extended antenna length and when higher directional gain is operationally required. RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating maintain environmental specifications.

Compliance Basis: Both substitute parts maintain identical ECCN classification (5A991G) and RoHS compliance status, confirming regulatory equivalence for procurement and deployment in existing systems. The active product status of both substitutes ensures ongoing manufacturer support and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the S8064B classified as obsolete? A: The S8064B is no longer in active production by TE Connectivity Laird. However, 745 units remain available in current inventory as new original stock. Substitute parts FG8063 and FG8066 are active products offering equivalent electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the primary differences between FG8063 and FG8066? A: The FG8063 and FG8066 differ in three key parameters: gain (3dBd versus 6dBd), maximum power handling (200W versus 100W), and physical height (23.375 inches versus 65 inches). Both operate within the 806MHz to 866MHz frequency range with identical VSWR (2) and N Type Female termination.

Q: Is the FG8066's 65-inch height compatible with S8064B 23-inch pole mount installations? A: The FG8066 physical height (65 inches) exceeds the S8064B specification (23 inches). Mechanical compatibility requires verification that the installation structure accommodates the extended antenna length. Electrical compatibility is maintained through identical frequency range, termination type, and mounting configuration.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both FG8063 and FG8066 are RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, matching the environmental compliance profile of the S8064B.

Q: What is the ECCN classification significance? A: All three parts share ECCN classification 5A991G, confirming identical export control status. This alignment ensures regulatory equivalence for international procurement and deployment without additional compliance documentation.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for direct replacement? A: The FG8063 is the preferred direct replacement based on physical dimensions (23.375 inches) closely matching the S8064B 23-inch specification, combined with higher power handling capacity (200W) and active product status ensuring supply continuity.
