Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the XB24-AWI-I052 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must belong to the XBee® 802.15.4 series to ensure protocol and functional compatibility.
• Mounting Type: The through-hole mounting requirement must be maintained to ensure PCB integration compatibility.
• Package Classification: Module-level packaging must be preserved for form factor consistency.
• Environmental Compliance: REACH status and MSL rating must be equivalent or superior to support regulatory and manufacturing requirements.

The XB24CAWIT-001 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching series designation, through-hole mounting, module packaging, and equivalent environmental compliance ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The XB24CAWIT-001 serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete XB24-AWI-I052. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status, ensuring no additional regulatory burden during substitution.
• Environmental Specifications: Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) confirms equivalent moisture handling and storage requirements.
• Form Factor Preservation: Matching through-hole mounting and module packaging ensure direct PCB integration without redesign.
• Series Continuity: Both components operate within the XBee® 802.15.4 ecosystem, maintaining protocol compatibility.
• Manufacturer Verification: The XB24CAWIT-001 is verified as DiGi-Electronics Programmable, confirming production readiness and quality assurance.

The XB24CAWIT-001 is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it remains available for legacy system support and maintenance applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XB24CAWIT-001 directly replace the XB24-AWI-I052 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (through hole) and package classification (module), enabling direct PCB integration without layout modifications.

Q: What is the difference in product status between these parts?

A: The XB24-AWI-I052 is classified as Obsolete and no longer manufactured. The XB24CAWIT-001 is classified as Not For New Designs, meaning it remains available for legacy system support but is not recommended for new product development.

Q: Are there any environmental or compliance differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What packaging format is the XB24CAWIT-001 supplied in?

A: The XB24CAWIT-001 is supplied in Tray packaging, whereas the original part number does not specify a packaging format. Verify tray packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Is the XB24CAWIT-001 verified for programmability?

A: Yes. The XB24CAWIT-001 is verified as DiGi-Electronics Programmable, confirming it supports the same firmware and configuration protocols as the original part.
