ANT-2.4-CW-HW-T

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-HW-T is a connectorized dipole antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for operation within the 2.3 GHz to 2.6 GHz frequency range. It features a linear polarization and provides a gain of 3.2 dBi with a 50-ohm impedance. The antenna utilizes an SMA male connector for secure attachment and employs a straight whip mechanical form factor. This component supports multiple wireless protocols including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee, making it suitable for various industrial and consumer applications requiring reliable short-range communication.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip dipole design for omnidirectional radiation patterns
• SMA male connector interface for standardized cable attachment
• Optimized for 2.4 GHz ISM band wireless protocols

Antennas RF Applications

• Wi-Fi enabled devices
• Bluetooth low energy (BLE) modules
• Zigbee sensor networks
• Thread protocol implementations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and connector specifications. Ensure compatibility with host device RF connectors. Check for updated environmental compliance certifications such as RoHS status prior to final integration into production designs.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, external whip antenna is required for 2.4 GHz applications. The SMA connector offers durability compared to surface-mount options. Consider the physical length of the whip element for enclosure clearance. Verify that the 3.2 dBi gain meets system link budget requirements for the intended application distance.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT-2.4-CW-HW series from TE Connectivity Linx, which focuses on high-performance 2.4 GHz antennas. The 'HW' designation typically indicates a heavy-duty or specific whip construction, while the '-T' suffix may denote a specific packaging or variant configuration. It complements other Linx solutions for IoT and wireless connectivity.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

ANT-2.4-CW-HW-SMA is listed as a related product with similar specifications. Verify if the base model ANT-2.4-CW-HW is functionally equivalent without the specific 'T' variant characteristics. Cross-reference mechanical drawings to ensure fitment before substitution.
