Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SC012-040 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer & Series: Must be Synapse Wireless SNAP® Network series
• Function: Must be Gateway
• Frequency & Protocol: Must support 2.4GHz 802.15.4 and SNAP
• Interface: Must provide Ethernet, MicroUSB, and USB connectivity
• Electrical Specifications: Must match 20dBm power output, 100Mbps data rate, and 7V ~ 36V supply voltage
• Base Product Number: Must share SC012 designation

The SC012-010 meets all substitution criteria as an active product variant within the same SNAP® Network series, maintaining identical electrical and functional specifications while differing only in packaging configuration and regional housing designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SC012-010 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete SC012-040. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, protocol support, and interface specifications. The SC012-010 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an updated regulatory status compared to the SC012-040's RoHS Compliant designation. The primary distinction is packaging configuration: SC012-040 is supplied without housing (EUR variant), while SC012-010 includes housing for North American applications. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or functional compatibility. For new designs and system replacements, the SC012-010 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and current compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC012-010 directly replace SC012-040 in existing systems?
