Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WASP-S3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Modulation Protocol: KEELOQ (mandatory match)
• Operating Frequency: 433.92MHz (mandatory match)
• Voltage Supply Range: 12VDC to 24VDC compatibility (mandatory match)
• Export Classification: ECCN 5A991G (regulatory alignment)
• Tariff Classification: HTSUS 8525.60.2000 (trade compliance)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Function Type: Transmitter and Receiver configuration
• Interface: Handheld control with switch-based operation
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 or equivalent environmental rating

The substitute part FOBLOQF-4S3 meets all primary substitution criteria. It operates on identical KEELOQ protocol at 433.92MHz frequency with compatible voltage supply range (12V ~ 24VDC). Both parts share identical export and tariff classifications, confirming regulatory alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Feasibility:

The FOBLOQF-4S3 is a direct protocol and frequency equivalent to the WASP-S3. Both components operate on KEELOQ modulation at 433.92MHz and accept the same voltage supply range (12V to 24VDC). Regulatory classifications (ECCN 5A991G, HTSUS 8525.60.2000) are identical, confirming compliance alignment.

Product Status Consideration:

The WASP-S3 is classified as Obsolete, while the FOBLOQF-4S3 maintains Active product status with current manufacturing support. The substitute part is available in production quantities (660 Pcs in stock) compared to legacy inventory of the main part (952 Pcs).

Compliance Advantage:

The FOBLOQF-4S3 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. This provides enhanced compliance for new system designs and long-term supply chain sustainability.

Functional Scope:

The WASP-S3 is specified as a Transmitter and Receiver set, while the FOBLOQF-4S3 is specified as a Transmitter only. System designers must verify receiver functionality requirements independently when considering this substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FOBLOQF-4S3 directly replace WASP-S3 in existing installations?

A: The FOBLOQF-4S3 matches the WASP-S3 on all critical electrical parameters: KEELOQ protocol, 433.92MHz frequency, and 12V to 24VDC supply voltage. However, the WASP-S3 is specified as a combined Transmitter and Receiver set, while FOBLOQF-4S3 is specified as Transmitter only. Verify receiver requirements in your application before substitution.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The WASP-S3 packaging is listed as standard (-), while FOBLOQF-4S3 is supplied in Box packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the identical ECCN and HTSUS codes?

A: Both parts share ECCN 5A991G and HTSUS 8525.60.2000 classifications. This confirms they are treated identically for export control and tariff purposes, simplifying regulatory compliance and international logistics.

Q: Why is FOBLOQF-4S3 listed as Active while WASP-S3 is Obsolete?

A: The WASP-S3 has reached end-of-life status. The FOBLOQF-4S3 represents current RF Solutions manufacturing for equivalent KEELOQ 433.92MHz remote control applications. Active status ensures ongoing availability and technical support.

Q: Does ROHS3 compliance on FOBLOQF-4S3 affect compatibility?

A: ROHS3 compliance on the substitute part indicates adherence to current environmental standards for hazardous substance restrictions. This does not affect electrical or functional compatibility but provides enhanced compliance for systems subject to environmental regulations.

Q: What are the interface differences between these parts?

A: The WASP-S3 specifies Handheld, 3 Switches interface. The FOBLOQF-4S3 does not specify interface details in available documentation. Confirm switch count and control interface requirements for your application.
