ANT-2.4-CW-HWR-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-HWR-SMA is a 2.4 GHz whip-style RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx. It operates within the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range, supporting protocols including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Thread (802.15.4). The component features an SMA male connector for termination and utilizes a tilt whip mechanical form factor. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 2.2 dBi, a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.9, and a maximum power rating of 50 W. The antenna has a maximum height of 113.00 mm (4.449 inches) and is designed for connector mounting applications.

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the official TE Connectivity Linx datasheet to ensure compatibility with the required connector type and mechanical dimensions. Confirm that the SMA male termination matches the host device's mating interface. Check RoHS compliance status and lead times through authorized distributors prior to ordering.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, high-gain whip antenna is required for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. Ensure the host enclosure allows for adequate clearance around the 113 mm height. Verify that the 50 Ohm impedance aligns with the system's RF trace requirements. Consider the tilt feature if spatial constraints prevent vertical mounting.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT-2.4 series of RF antennas from TE Connectivity Linx, specifically designed for short-range wireless communication standards. It serves as a standalone radiating element for systems utilizing 2.4 GHz frequencies, complementing transceiver modules in various industrial and consumer wireless products.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other models within the ANT-2.4 family with compatible SMA connectors, such as ANT-2.4-LCW-SMA or ANT-2.4-CW-RCT-RP, provided the mechanical footprint and electrical parameters meet the design requirements.
