RC1760HP-RC232

Overview

The RC1760HP-RC232 is a compact surface-mounted RF transceiver module from Radiocrafts AS, designed for ultra-narrowband applications. It operates at frequencies including 458MHz, 463MHz, and 467MHz. The module integrates high-power transmission capabilities with GFSK modulation, supporting the RC232 embedded protocol. It features a castellation surface-mount package measuring 12.7 x 25.4 x 3.7 mm. The device provides robust performance for industrial ISM band communications without requiring an external antenna.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-narrowband high-power RF transmission capability
• Embedded RC232 communication protocol support
• Compact castellation surface-mount form factor

Applications

• Industrial telemetry systems
• Remote monitoring sensors
• SCADA network nodes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency variant required (458/463/467 MHz) as the part number designation covers multiple regional ISM bands. Confirm that the castellation package style matches the target PCB footprint design. Ensure the application does not require an integrated antenna, as this module is supplied without one. Check local regulatory compliance for the selected operating frequency in the deployment region.

Selection Notes

Select this module when high output power and narrow bandwidth are critical for range and interference rejection. The RC232 protocol simplifies integration by handling link-layer tasks internally. Consider the physical dimensions of 12.7 x 25.4 mm for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to high-power transmission characteristics during continuous operation cycles.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RC17xxHP family of high-power RF modules from Radiocrafts AS. The series offers various frequency options tailored for global ISM bands. The RC232 suffix indicates the inclusion of the proprietary embedded protocol stack. These modules are positioned as drop-in replacements for discrete RF solutions, offering reduced board space and simplified development timelines for wireless IoT applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include RC1760HP variants with different firmware or frequency configurations. Cross-family comparisons may involve other Radiocrafts HP series modules if pin compatibility differs. Verify that alternative parts support the same RC232 protocol to maintain software compatibility.
