WAN04RSP RF Antenna 2.4GHz Whip Tilt RP-SMA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WAN04RSP is a 2.4GHz whip tilt RF antenna manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions with RP-SMA male connector termination and 5.5dBi gain. This component is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing system maintenance, design updates, and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across frequency band, connector type, gain specification, and mounting configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IN24-5RD-RSMA is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent for the obsolete WAN04RSP. Selection of this substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant status and identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent handling and environmental compliance requirements.

Product Status: The WAN04RSP is obsolete, while the IN24-5RD-RSMA maintains active product status with current manufacturing and supply chain availability. This transition ensures long-term component sourcing and support.

Electrical Equivalence: Identical center frequency (2.4GHz), gain (5.5dBi), and connector type (RP-SMA Male) ensure direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs without modification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Matching antenna type (Whip, Tilt) and mounting method (Connector Mount) provide identical physical integration into existing mechanical assemblies.

Additional Performance Data: The IN24-5RD-RSMA provides specified VSWR (1.5) and maximum power rating (10 W), offering additional performance documentation compared to the WAN04RSP specification sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IN24-5RD-RSMA directly replace the WAN04RSP without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical center frequency (2.4GHz), gain (5.5dBi), connector type (RP-SMA Male), and antenna configuration (Whip, Tilt). No circuit or mechanical redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the WAN04RSP?
