RC-TASK2-868

RF Transmitter Overview

The RC-TASK2-868 is an ASK radio transmitter module manufactured by RadioControlli. It operates at a frequency of 868.30 MHz with an output power of 10 dBm. The module utilizes a crystal oscillator for frequency stability and features a dual in-line package (DIP) design. It functions within a voltage range of 2.2 to 3.6 Volts, consuming 21 mA during operation and 15 mA in standby. A dedicated power-down mode is included to minimize energy usage when the device is inactive.

RF Transmitter Feature Summary

• Integrated crystal oscillator ensures stable transmission frequency
• Dual in-line package facilitates through-hole mounting
• Operates on standard 3.3V logic levels
• Includes power-down mode for reduced current consumption

RF Transmitter Applications

• Wireless sensor networks
• IoT applications
• Home and building automation systems

RF Transmitter Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from RadioControlli before integration. Confirm that the 868.30 MHz frequency complies with local regulatory requirements for your target region. Ensure the host system provides a stable 3.3V supply capable of delivering peak currents without voltage droop. Check pinout compatibility with the intended PCB layout.

RF Transmitter Selection Notes

Select this module for simple, low-cost ASK transmission needs where complex modulation is unnecessary. It is suitable for applications requiring moderate range and low power consumption. Consider the DIP package size for mechanical constraints. Evaluate if the fixed frequency meets regional spectrum allocations.

RF Transmitter Part Context

This component belongs to the RadioControlli RF Transmitter series, specifically designed for sub-GHz wireless communication. It complements other modules like the RC-S2LP and RC-SPIRIT families, offering a simpler alternative for basic data transmission tasks without the complexity of full transceiver capabilities.

RF Transmitter Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Review the RC-S2LP-868 or RC-SPIRIT1-868 if transceiver functionality is required instead of transmitter-only operation.
