Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WAN02RSP are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Frequency center band: 2.4GHz
• Antenna gain: 2.2dBi
• Termination type: RP-SMA Male connector
• Number of bands: 1 band operation

Mechanical Parameters:

• Antenna type: Whip, Tilt configuration
• Mounting method: Connector Mount
• Physical height: Maximum 4.440" (112.78mm) with allowable tolerance

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP from TE Connectivity Linx meets all critical substitution criteria. This part maintains identical electrical performance characteristics, mechanical form factor compatibility, and regulatory compliance requirements necessary for direct substitution in the WAN02RSP application space.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP is the qualified substitute for the WAN02RSP based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts operate at 2.4GHz center frequency with identical 2.2dBi gain specification. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP provides a defined frequency range of 2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz and VSWR of 1.9, offering additional performance documentation compared to the WAN02RSP.

Mechanical Compatibility: Physical dimensions are equivalent within engineering tolerance. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP height of 4.449" (113.00mm) is 0.009" (0.22mm) greater than the WAN02RSP specification of 4.440" (112.78mm), representing negligible variance in connector mount applications.

Connector Compatibility: Both parts feature RP-SMA Male termination, ensuring direct interface compatibility with existing RF circuit designs.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant status, MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), and EAR99 ECCN classification, satisfying identical regulatory requirements.

Supply Status: The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP maintains Active product status with 5263 units in stock, providing supply continuity for the obsolete WAN02RSP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP directly replace the WAN02RSP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.4GHz center frequency, 2.2dBi gain), mechanical form factor (whip tilt antenna, connector mount), and termination type (RP-SMA Male). Physical height variance of 0.009" is within standard engineering tolerance for connector mount applications.

Q: What is the significance of the WAN02RSP being classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the WAN02RSP is no longer manufactured or supported by Honeywell. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP from TE Connectivity Linx is an Active product with ongoing manufacturing and supply availability, making it the appropriate substitute for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are there differences in frequency range specifications between these parts?

A: The WAN02RSP does not specify a frequency range parameter. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP specifies 2.4GHz ~ 2.5GHz operation. Both parts are centered at 2.4GHz and operate within the UHF (2GHz ~ 3GHz) frequency group. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP provides additional performance documentation through its defined frequency range and VSWR specification of 1.9.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the WAN02RSP and ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP are RoHS Compliant, classified as MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), and carry EAR99 ECCN designation. Compliance requirements are identical.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The WAN02RSP is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP is supplied in Bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects only the distribution format from the respective manufacturers.

Q: Is the VSWR specification of 1.9 for the ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP a critical parameter for substitution?

A: The VSWR specification is not provided for the WAN02RSP. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP VSWR of 1.9 represents documented performance. Both parts maintain identical gain (2.2dBi) and frequency specifications. The ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP VSWR value indicates good impedance matching and does not preclude substitution.
