Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration against system requirements, as similar part numbers may utilize standard SMA or reverse polarity variants. Confirm that the tilt/swivel mechanism aligns with enclosure constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions to guarantee fitment within the target application housing.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a directional whip antenna with adjustable orientation is required for 2.4 GHz indoor devices. It is suitable for applications needing support for multiple 2.4 GHz standards such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and Zigbee simultaneously. Consider the RP-SMA interface compatibility with the host RF module. Evaluate the physical space requirements for the 113 mm whip length and the 28 mm base footprint during the mechanical design phase.
