SU60-SIPT RF TXRX Module WiFi U.FL SMD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SU60-SIPT is an RF transceiver module manufactured by Laird Connectivity Inc., designed for dual-band Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11ac applications operating at 2.4GHz. This Surface Mount Device (SMD) integrates the 88W8997 IC and provides serial communication via UART and USB interfaces with U.FL antenna connector. The module operates at 3.3V supply voltage and is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued component availability for new designs, production continuity, and long-term system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SU60-SIPT must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional and mechanical compatibility:

RF Performance Criteria:

• RF Standard: Bluetooth v4.2 and WiFi 802.11ac support
• Frequency Band: 2.4GHz operation
• Data Rate: Minimum 54Mbps capability
• Power Output: 18dBm transmission power
• Sensitivity: -95dBm reception threshold

Physical & Electrical Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (SMD)
• Package: 84-LGA Module form factor
• Supply Voltage: 3.3V operation
• Serial Interfaces: UART and USB support
• Antenna Interface: U.FL connector type

Environmental & Compliance Criteria:

• Operating Temperature: -30°C to 85°C range
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 4 or better

Substitute parts must maintain equivalence across all these parameters. Parts that differ in RF protocol support, frequency band, package type, or electrical interface are not considered substitutes for this application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SU60-SIPT is designated Last Time Buy status, indicating end-of-life production. The substitute part 453-00202, also manufactured by Laird Connectivity Inc., carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier, which provides consistency in design philosophy and quality standards. The main part is RoHS Compliant; compliance status for the substitute part is not specified in the provided data.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Product Availability: The substitute part 453-00202 maintains Active status with 1023 pieces in stock, compared to the main part's Last Time Buy status with 868 pieces available.

2. Supply Chain Continuity: Active product status ensures long-term component availability for production and field replacements.

3. Compliance Verification: Confirm that substitute part 453-00202 maintains equivalent RoHS compliance and environmental certifications required for your application.

4. Technical Specification Alignment: Verify that all unspecified parameters for part 453-00202 match the SU60-SIPT requirements before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a part a valid substitute for the SU60-SIPT?

A: A valid substitute must maintain equivalence in RF protocol support (Bluetooth v4.2 and WiFi 802.11ac), 2.4GHz frequency band operation, Surface Mount package type (84-LGA Module), 3.3V supply voltage, UART and USB serial interfaces, U.FL antenna connector, and operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

Q: Why is the SU60-SIPT classified as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part. Existing inventory represents the final available stock. This classification necessitates identification of substitute parts to maintain design continuity and support future production requirements.

Q: Can I use part 453-00202 as a direct replacement for SU60-SIPT?

A: Part 453-00202 is manufactured by the same supplier (Laird Connectivity Inc.) and carries Active product status. However, complete technical specification alignment must be verified before implementation, as certain parameters are not specified in the available data.

Q: What is the significance of the 84-LGA Module package type?

A: The 84-LGA (Land Grid Array) Module package defines the physical footprint and pin configuration. Substitute parts must use identical package type to ensure PCB layout compatibility and mechanical fit without redesign.

Q: Does the U.FL antenna connector type affect substitution?

A: Yes. The U.FL connector is a specific antenna interface standard. Substitute parts must maintain this connector type to ensure compatibility with existing antenna designs and RF performance characteristics.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 4, and why does it matter?

A: MSL 4 indicates the component can be exposed to ambient conditions for up to 72 hours before soldering without risk of moisture-induced defects. This specification affects component storage, handling procedures, and production planning. Substitute parts should maintain equivalent or better MSL ratings.

Q: Are there any RoHS compliance considerations for substitution?

A: Yes. The SU60-SIPT is RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts must maintain equivalent RoHS compliance status to meet regulatory requirements and customer specifications. Verify compliance documentation for part 453-00202 before selection.

Q: What serial interfaces does the SU60-SIPT support?

A: The SU60-SIPT provides both UART and USB serial interfaces for host communication. Substitute parts must support both interfaces to maintain firmware compatibility and system integration without modification.
