IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 Wi-Fi Networking SoC MRQFN251

IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 Overview

The IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 is a specific part designation that identifies a device in the IPQ-5300 family supplied in a 251-pin MRQFN package and packed on tape-and-reel. This ordering code communicates the series number, a single-variant suffix, the MRQFN251 package type, and a tape-and-reel shipment format with a revision marker 03-0. Sourcing teams and production engineers use this exact ordering string to match footprints, assembly processes, and supply-chain packaging. See IC Manufacturer for additional procurement references and authorized distribution channels.

IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 Technical Specifications

IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 Key Features

• High I/O density: the 251-pin MRQFN package enables more signal pins than many smaller QFN variants, aiding complex board routing and multi-interface designs.
• Low-profile surface-mount form factor: MRQFN packaging supports compact mechanical stacks and reduced overall product height compared with through-hole alternatives.
• Tape-and-reel packaging: the TR suffix ensures compatibility with automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume SMT production lines.
• Clear revision tracking: the 03-0 revision code in the part number supports revision control and component traceability across production lots.

Typical Applications

• High-density networking equipment where a 251-pin QFN footprint provides the necessary I/O for switch fabrics, peripheral interfaces, and complex board routing requirements during product development and production.
• Carrier-grade or enterprise gateway platforms that require precise BOM matching and tape-and-reel procurement to support automated assembly and consistent revision control throughout manufacturing cycles.
• Embedded systems and appliances that prioritize low-profile surface-mount components for slimmer mechanical designs while maintaining a large set of external interfaces and signal pins.
• Contract manufacturing environments where part-number exactness, package type (MRQFN251), and tape-and-reel packing are needed to streamline pick-and-place programming, tape orientation, and feeder setup.

IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The MRQFN251-trimmed part offers a balance of pin count and low profile that is often superior to smaller QFN variants and simpler packages when many I/Os are required. The 251-pin count gives more routing options and interface choices versus common 64?C176 pin devices. Tape-and-reel packing reduces handling time on SMT lines compared with loose or tube-supplied components. Revision coding inside the part string improves traceability versus generic part numbers, helping procurement and manufacturing reduce assembly errors and rework.

IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 Brand Info

The IPQ-5300 naming convention is associated with the IPQ family of networking system-on-chip products originally introduced by Qualcomm Atheros, now part of Qualcomm’s networking portfolio. This part number follows that brand’s typical nomenclature and packaging conventions, helping engineers quickly map device variants to family-level documentation and vendor support channels.

FAQ

What does MRQFN251 mean?

MRQFN251 designates a molded, rectangular quad-flat no-lead package with a 251-pin count. This indicates a surface-mount QFN-style package optimized for higher pin densities and compact board-level profiles.

Does TR indicate tape-and-reel?

Yes. The TR token in the part number denotes that the device is supplied on tape-and-reel. That packaging supports automated pick-and-place and high-volume SMT assembly processes for streamlined production.

How is the revision code used?

The trailing revision code 03-0 in the part number provides explicit revision control for procurement and inventory. Use it to match BOM entries and to ensure consistent part revision across production lots.

Is the pin count fixed at 251?

Yes. The part string includes the numeric token 251 tied to the MRQFN package; this indicates a 251-pin configuration for board layout and connector planning.

How should sourcing teams reference this part?

Sourcing specialists should order using the full part number IPQ-5300-1-MRQFN251-TR-03-0 to ensure correct package, revision, and tape-and-reel supply. Exact string matching helps prevent substitution and assembly mismatch risks.
