XB24-API-080 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XB24-API-080 is an RF transceiver module manufactured by Digi, designed for 2.4GHz wireless communication applications. This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally compatible substitute components is essential for system redesign, maintenance, and long-term product support. The XB24-API-080 remains available in limited inventory (1126 pcs), but forward-looking designs require transition to active product alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The XB3-24Z8PT-J qualifies as a direct substitute for the XB24-API-080 based on the following alignment criteria:

Frequency Compatibility: Both components operate in the 2.4GHz band, ensuring RF compatibility within the same frequency domain.

Antenna Configuration: Both modules feature integrated antenna designs, maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing PCB layouts.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts are manufactured by Digi, ensuring design philosophy and support ecosystem consistency.

Product Category: Both are RF transceiver modules designed for wireless communication applications.

Compliance Status: The XB3-24Z8PT-J is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements that supersede the obsolete XB24-API-080.

Active Production Status: The XB3-24Z8PT-J is in active production with substantial inventory availability (18223 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs: The XB3-24Z8PT-J is the recommended selection. It is in active production status, carries RoHS compliance certification, and maintains REACH compliance. These certifications ensure compatibility with current regulatory frameworks and supply chain standards.

For Legacy System Maintenance: If XB24-API-080 inventory remains available and functional validation has been completed, continued use is permissible. However, transition planning to XB3-24Z8PT-J should be initiated to mitigate future supply chain risk.

For System Redesign: Transition to XB3-24Z8PT-J is mandatory. The active product status, verified programmability, and defined electrical specifications provide superior design certainty compared to the obsolete XB24-API-080.

Compliance Consideration: The XB3-24Z8PT-J explicitly declares RoHS compliance and MSL rating, whereas the XB24-API-080 contains undefined compliance parameters. This difference is significant for products subject to regulatory audit or environmental compliance verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XB3-24Z8PT-J directly replace the XB24-API-080 in existing designs?

A: Both components operate at 2.4GHz with integrated antenna configurations and are manufactured by Digi. However, the XB3-24Z8PT-J specifies Through Hole mounting, while the XB24-API-080 mounting type is not defined. PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The XB24-API-080 is obsolete and no longer in active production. The XB3-24Z8PT-J is the current-generation equivalent, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there electrical parameter differences between these components?

A: The input data does not provide detailed electrical specifications (voltage, current, data rate, modulation) for the XB24-API-080. The XB3-24Z8PT-J specifies 802.15.4 Zigbee protocol, DSSS modulation, 250kbps data rate, and defined power consumption parameters. Functional validation against original design requirements is necessary.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The XB3-24Z8PT-J is supplied in Tray packaging. The XB24-API-080 packaging specification is not provided in the available data.

Q: Is the XB3-24Z8PT-J RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the XB3-24Z8PT-J is RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture handling and regulatory alignment compared to the XB24-API-080.
