Notes:
1.Both parts operate over -40°C to +85°C (industrial wide temperature), share an identical pinout, footprint and circuit topology (1CT:1CT × 4 channels) in a low-profile 24-pin package, enabling true pin-for-pin replacement.
2.Both rate 1500 V isolation but with different test durations (GBE 5 s Min, VOOHU 60 s).
3.Storage temperature: GBE -55~+125°C is wider than VOOHU -40~+85°C; operating temperatures are identical.
4.Package dimensions are close (1.27 mm pin pitch, 13.97 mm pin span, pad-compatible), both low-profile; VOOHU height 2.85 mm is slightly taller than GBE 2.24 mm — verify clearance.
5.GBE's datasheet does not list leakage inductance or DCR; the VOOHU datasheet does not state RoHS/MSL/certification — confirm with VOOHU.
4. Application Scenarios
1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) single-port quad-channel low-profile SMD transformer modules are widely used in:
- Gigabit Ethernet Switches and Routers
Suitable for enterprise and industrial-grade Gigabit switches and routers. Single-port quad-channel integration reduces PCB footprint; the low-profile package (height < 3 mm) meets thin-device space requirements.
- Server Motherboards and Network Interface Cards (NIC)
Ideal for server motherboards and Gigabit NICs. The -40°C to +85°C wide-temperature range accommodates data center and industrial server environments; pin and package compatibility allows direct substitution of the iNRCORE design.
- Industrial Ethernet and Edge Computing Gateways
Suitable for industrial switches, edge gateways and SCADA systems. The -40°C to +85°C range covers harsh factory environments; 1500 V isolation ensures safety.
- Networking and Access Equipment
Suitable for routers, fiber/DSL access devices and small-cell backhaul modules; supports 100/1000 BASE-T dual-speed auto-negotiation, with low-profile packaging for high-density integration.
- Consumer Electronics and Surveillance Equipment
Suitable for set-top boxes, IP network cameras, NVR/DVR and height-constrained consumer/security electronics with a Gigabit Ethernet port.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is VOOHU WHSG24301TG fully pin-compatible with iNRCORE GBE-5032NL? Can it be replaced without a PCB change?
A: Yes. Both use a 24-pin low-profile SMD package with 1.27 mm pin pitch and 13.97 mm pin span, with an identical 4-channel pinout (matching TD±/TDCT and TX±/TXCT positions) and the same per-channel 1CT:1CT topology. WHSG24301TG is a direct drop-in with no PCB redesign; only verify enclosure height clearance (GBE 2.24 mm vs VOOHU 2.85 mm).
Q2: Do both parts share the same temperature grade?
A: The operating temperature is identical — both -40°C to +85°C (industrial wide temperature), suitable for industrial Ethernet, data centers and temperature-variable environments. GBE's storage range (-55~+125°C) is slightly wider than VOOHU's (-40~+85°C), but this does not affect normal use or substitution.
Q3: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time for WHSG24301TG?
A: WHSG24301TG is packaged in Tape & Reel at 1,100 pcs per reel (2,200 pcs per inner carton, 4,400 pcs per export carton). VOOHU supports sample orders shipped within 48 hours and delivered within 7 days. For bulk pricing, contact: TEL: +86 400 1048 018, WEB: www.voohuele.com.
