Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the WS.01.B.305151 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: Termination type (RP-SMA Male), mounting configuration (Panel Mount), and physical envelope (Height 1.142" / 29.00mm) must remain consistent to ensure direct replacement without mechanical redesign.

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute must operate within overlapping frequency ranges that encompass the original 2.4GHz to 5.2GHz band. The antenna type (Dome) and RF standards support (Bluetooth, WLAN, Zigbee™) define the functional category.

Regulatory Compliance: Both the main part and substitute must maintain equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance status to satisfy procurement and environmental requirements.

The identified substitute, WS.03.B.305151, shares the same manufacturer (Taoglas Limited), series (Hercules), antenna type (Dome), termination (RP-SMA Male), mounting type (Panel Mount), physical height (1.142" / 29.00mm), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). The substitute extends frequency coverage to 7.125GHz and provides measurable gain specifications, representing an active product alternative to the obsolete WS.01.B.305151.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WS.03.B.305151 is an active product substitute for the obsolete WS.01.B.305151. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces (RP-SMA Male termination, Panel Mount configuration, 29.00mm height) and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

The substitute provides extended frequency coverage to 7.125GHz and includes documented gain specifications across three frequency bands. The WS.03.B.305151 is suitable for applications requiring WiFi operation within the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, with additional coverage extending to 7.125GHz.

Selection should be based on application-specific frequency requirements and the need for active product support. The substitute's active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support, addressing the obsolescence of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WS.03.B.305151 directly replace the WS.01.B.305151 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. Both components feature RP-SMA Male termination, Panel Mount configuration, and identical physical height (29.00mm). Frequency range overlap exists within the 2.4GHz to 5.2GHz band. Verification of application-specific frequency requirements is necessary before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between these two antenna models?

A: The WS.01.B.305151 operates as a single-band antenna across 2.4GHz to 5.2GHz with a 3.8GHz center frequency. The WS.03.B.305151 is a multi-band antenna with three distinct frequency bands (2.45GHz, 5.5GHz, 6.525GHz) and provides measurable gain values (2.7dBi, 3.2dBi, 4.3dBi). The substitute extends coverage to 7.125GHz and is an active product.

Q: Are both components RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the WS.01.B.305151 and WS.03.B.305151 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The WS.01.B.305151 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The WS.03.B.305151 is Active, ensuring ongoing production, availability, and manufacturer technical support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The WS.01.B.305151 is supplied with standard packaging. The WS.03.B.305151 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both are suitable for component procurement workflows.
