K2 U12 MC1350 or SMT1A

[John Shadle]

Hi,
I'm working on the assembly for S/N 5684. I don't appear to have the
SMT1A replacement board for U12, but I have the DIP MC1350.

Should I request a replacement part for this non-RoHS part, or just go
ahead and stuff this DIP?

I assume they perform the same function, but just wanted to make sure
there isn't some other reason to replace the part with the SMT1A board.

Thanks.

John,

Either will work just fine, so unless your are overly concerned about
the lead contribution to the environment when you finally send your K2
to the landfill (not many ham radio items go there), just install the
DIP MC1350.
The SMT1A is actually a surface mount MC1350 mounted on a carrier board
- that part has become difficult to procure in the DIP package.

The DIP will work identically.
