ANT-2.4-CW-HW-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-HW-SMA is a linearly polarized dipole antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz ISM band, supporting protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Zigbee. It features an SMA male connector for PCB mounting and operates within a frequency range of 2.3 to 2.6 GHz. The component provides a gain of 3.2 dBi with a 50 Ohm impedance. Physical dimensions are 120.00 mm in height, 20.1 mm in width, and 10 mm in depth.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Supports multiple wireless standards including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Zigbee
• Utilizes a straight whip design with an SMA male connector interface
• Engineered for linear polarization and 50 Ohm system impedance

Antennas RF Applications

• Wireless sensor networks utilizing Zigbee or Thread protocols
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device connectivity
• Industrial IoT gateways operating in the 2.4 GHz spectrum

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm mechanical tolerances and connector pinout details before integration. Ensure the host PCB layout accommodates the required ground plane specifications for optimal radiation pattern performance. Cross-reference the SMA connector gender with mating cables to prevent interface mismatch during assembly.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a dedicated 2.4 GHz external antenna is required for compact IoT devices. The straight whip form factor suits applications needing vertical polarization. Consider the physical height constraint of 120 mm against available enclosure space. This part is suitable for designs prioritizing multi-protocol support over single-band optimization.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the CW Series of low-power wide-area and general-purpose antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series offers various connector options and form factors tailored for different mounting requirements. The ANT-2.4 base number indicates its primary operation in the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-CW-HW variant serves as a direct substitute if RP-SMA connectors are acceptable instead of standard SMA. Verify that the replacement maintains identical gain and frequency coverage to ensure consistent RF performance in the final assembly.
