AEACBA045015-S2332

Antennas RF Overview

The Abracon AEACBA045015-S2332 is an external SDARS satellite antenna designed for vehicular applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2.32 GHz to 2.345 GHz, providing a typical gain of 3 dBi with left-hand circular polarization (LHCP). The unit features a magnetic puck mount style and includes a 3-meter RG174 cable terminating in an SMA male connector. It is rated IP67 for environmental protection and functions between 0°C and +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Magnetic puck mounting design for secure attachment to vehicle surfaces
• IP67 rated enclosure ensuring resistance to dust and water ingress
• Integrated 3-meter RG174 coaxial cable with SMA male connector
• Optimized for left-hand circular polarization reception

Antennas RF Applications

• Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) reception
• Automotive roof-mounted signal acquisition
• Mobile communication systems requiring external RF input

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to ensure compatibility with required cable lengths and connector types. Confirm that the IP67 rating meets the environmental exposure requirements of the intended installation site. Cross-reference the SMA male interface with the receiving equipment port to guarantee physical connectivity without adapters.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated external solution is required for SDARS bands due to internal shielding limitations. The magnetic base allows for non-permanent installation on metal surfaces. Ensure the host system supports the 50-ohm impedance characteristic of the integrated RG174 transmission line. Consider the 3-meter lead length for routing flexibility within the vehicle chassis.

Antennas RF Part Context

This model belongs to Abracon’s outdoor antenna portfolio, which targets harsh operating environments. It complements internal antennas by offering higher gain and isolation for weak satellite signals. The product line emphasizes reliability through advanced manufacturing processes suitable for automotive vibration and thermal cycling.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify mechanical dimensions and connector polarity before considering alternative vendors. Consult the manufacturer for direct equivalents if the specific magnetic puck form factor is mandatory.
