ANT-2.4-FPC-SF100M4

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity Linx ANT-2.4-FPC-SF100M4 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz ISM band, supporting Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee protocols. It features a compact 25 mm x 20 mm footprint with an orthogonal cable egress configuration. The unit includes a 100 mm coaxial cable terminated with an MHF4 connector for secure interface. Rated for a maximum power of 2 W, it offers a gain of 3.8 dBi and maintains a VSWR of 1.7. The antenna utilizes adhesive mounting and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Orthogonal cable egress configuration for optimized routing
• Adhesive backing for secure attachment to device enclosures

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules
• Wi-Fi enabled IoT devices
• Zigbee sensor networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SF100M4' to confirm the 100 mm cable length and MHF4 connector type, as series variations exist with different lengths or connectors. Ensure the host PCB ground plane requirements align with the datasheet specifications for optimal performance. Confirm availability through authorized distributors due to potential supply chain fluctuations.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, flexible solution is required for space-constrained 2.4 GHz applications. The orthogonal cable exit simplifies assembly in tight enclosures compared to straight-exit variants. Consider the 3.8 dBi gain and 1.7 VSWR for standard range communication needs. Validate mechanical fit against the 25 mm x 20 mm dimensions before finalizing the design.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-2.4-FPC-SF series, which provides flexible embedded antenna solutions for the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The series is characterized by its ground plane independence and adhesive mounting capabilities, making it suitable for various consumer and industrial wireless devices requiring reliable RF connectivity without rigid structural constraints.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-FPC-SH100M4 is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same series. Verify that the cable egress orientation and connector type match the system requirements before substitution.
