ANT-2.4-FPC-SH200M4

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity Linx ANT-2.4-FPC-SH200M4 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. It operates within a frequency range of 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz with a center frequency of 2.45 GHz. The component features a gain of 4.3 dBi and a maximum power rating of 2 W. It utilizes an MHF4 connector for termination and employs adhesive mounting. The antenna includes a 200 mm cable and has physical dimensions of 25 mm by 20 mm.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Flexible PCB trace design optimized for embedded integration
• Adhesive mounting method for secure attachment
• Integrated 200 mm coaxial cable with MHF4 connector

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth wireless communication systems
• Wi-Fi network devices
• Zigbee IoT sensor nodes
• General ISM band applications

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SH' confirms the horizontal cable egress orientation and 200 mm length against your schematic requirements. Ensure the MHF4 connector interface matches the host board footprint. Confirm that the adhesive mounting style aligns with the enclosure design constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical tolerances before finalizing the bill of materials.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, flexible antenna solution is required for space-constrained 2.4 GHz designs. The integrated cable simplifies routing between the main PCB and the antenna location. Consider the 4.3 dBi gain performance relative to other FPC options in the series. Verify compatibility with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee protocols as specified in the application guidelines.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT-2.4-FPC-LV/SH series of flexible antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. These components are engineered for compact wireless modules requiring reliable RF performance in portable or embedded devices. The series offers various cable lengths and connector types to accommodate different system architectures.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-FPC-LV200M4 is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product family. Verify that the LV variant's vertical cable orientation does not conflict with the mechanical assembly constraints where the SH variant was originally intended.
