Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SC012-010 qualifies as a direct substitute for the SC012-030 based on the following critical parameters:

• Frequency Band: Both operate at 2.4GHz
• Protocol Support: Both implement 802.15.4 and SNAP protocols
• Gateway Function: Both serve identical gateway roles in wireless mesh networks
• Interface Configuration: Both provide Ethernet, MicroUSB, and USB connectivity
• Power Output: Both deliver 20dBm RF output
• Data Rate: Both support 100Mbps maximum data rate
• Supply Voltage Range: Both operate across 7V to 36V
• Base Product Number: Both share SC012 base designation
• Compliance: Both meet RoHS requirements and carry MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging and product status: SC012-030 is supplied without housing (Obsolete), while SC012-010 includes housing (Active status).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC012-010 is the appropriate substitute for the SC012-030 in all 802.15.4 wireless mesh network gateway applications. The SC012-010 maintains full electrical and functional equivalence while offering Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support.

The SC012-010 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing a more current regulatory standard than the SC012-030's RoHS Compliant designation. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory and trade alignment.

Selection between these parts should be based on mechanical requirements: the SC012-030 (without housing) suits applications requiring integration into custom enclosures, while the SC012-010 (with housing) provides a complete, ready-to-deploy gateway module.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC012-010 replace SC012-030 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SC012-010 provides complete electrical and functional equivalence. The primary difference is packaging: SC012-010 includes housing while SC012-030 does not. Mechanical integration requirements should be evaluated based on your application's enclosure design.

Q: Are there any protocol or frequency differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically at 2.4GHz using 802.15.4 and SNAP protocols. They deliver identical RF output power (20dBm), data rates (100Mbps), and supply voltage ranges (7V to 36V).

Q: Why is SC012-030 marked Obsolete?

A: SC012-030 has reached end-of-life status. The SC012-010 represents the current active product offering from Synapse Wireless for this gateway function and should be specified for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. SC012-010 carries the more current ROHS3 designation. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings and share identical ECCN and HTSUS trade classifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: SC012-030 inventory is limited (847 pcs available). SC012-010 is actively stocked with 1,064 pcs available. For new projects, SC012-010 is the recommended selection due to Active status and superior availability.
