ANT-2.4-FPC-LH50M4

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-FPC-LH50M4 is a PCB trace RF antenna designed for the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz frequency band, supporting Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and ISM applications. It features a dipole configuration with a gain of 4.3 dBi and an impedance of 50 Ohms. The unit includes a 50mm cable terminating in an MHF4 connector. Key electrical specifications include a VSWR of 1.7 and a maximum power rating of 2 W. The antenna measures 45x7 mm with a height of 0.10 mm and utilizes adhesive mounting.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Supports multiple wireless protocols including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee within the 2.4GHz ISM band
• Utilizes a low-profile T-Bar flex PCB trace design for compact integration
• Features orthogonal cable egress to facilitate flexible routing within device enclosures

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripherals
• Wi-Fi enabled IoT devices
• Zigbee sensor networks
• General ISM band communication modules

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LH' indicates the 50mm cable length and MHF4 connector type, as variations exist within the series. Confirm adhesive backing compatibility with target enclosure materials. Check current lead times as availability may vary. Ensure the MHF4 mating connector on the host PCB matches the antenna's termination standard for proper signal integrity.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a short 50mm cable run is required between the PCB and the antenna element. The MHF4 connector is suitable for dense board layouts where U.FL connectors might be less robust. Consider the 4.3 dBi gain for standard range requirements. Verify that the 2W power rating aligns with the transmitter output to prevent damage.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-2.4-FPC-LH family of low-profile FPC antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. These antennas are engineered for space-constrained portable electronics requiring reliable 2.4GHz connectivity. The LH series specifically denotes models with orthogonal cable exit points, distinguishing them from straight-exit variants like the LV series.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

ANT-2.4-FPC-SH50M4 offers similar electrical performance but differs in cable orientation or connector style; verify mechanical fit before substitution.
