AC10256-300

Antennas RF Overview

The AC10256-300 is a tri-band flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna manufactured by The Antenna Company. It supports Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 6 standards across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Key parameters include center frequencies of 2.45GHz, 5.522GHz, and 6.537GHz with ranges of 2.4–2.5GHz, 5.15–5.85GHz, and 5.9–7.15GHz. Gain values are 2.6dBi, 6.1dBi, and 6.7dBi respectively. VSWR limits are 2, 1.8, and 2.1, with return losses of -9.5dB, -10.9dB, and -9dB. It features an MHF1/U.FL connector, a 300mm cable, adhesive mounting, and a maximum height of 0.27mm.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Tri-band operation supporting 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands for comprehensive wireless coverage.
• Flexible printed circuit design with adhesive mounting for embedded integration in compact devices.
• Supports latest Wi-Fi standards including Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 6 alongside Bluetooth.

Antennas RF Applications

• Wi-Fi 7 access points and routers
• Wi-Fi 6E client devices and IoT modules
• Bluetooth-enabled wireless communication hardware

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-300' to confirm the 300mm cable length variant, as other lengths like '-100' exist. Ensure compatibility with MHF1 or U.FL connectors on the host PCB. Confirm adhesive mounting requirements and spatial constraints due to the 0.27mm height limit. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by project specifications.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when high gain across three distinct bands is required for modern Wi-Fi standards. The 300mm cable offers flexibility for routing away from interference sources compared to shorter variants. Consider the adhesive installation method for permanent embedding. Verify that the host device space accommodates the FPC footprint and cable length.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the AC10256 series of tri-band FPC antennas designed for embedded applications. It is part of The Antenna Company's portfolio targeting next-generation wireless connectivity. The series includes variants with different cable lengths, such as the AC10256-100, allowing designers to choose based on routing needs while maintaining consistent electrical performance.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

AC10256-100 is a confirmed substitute with identical electrical characteristics but a 100mm cable length instead of 300mm. Ensure the reduced cable length meets the system's routing requirements before substitution.
