ANT-2.4-ID-2000-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-ID-2000-SMA is a straight whip RF antenna from the Industrial Dipole (ID) series by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for 2.4GHz wireless protocols including Bluetooth, Thread, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee. It operates within a frequency range of 2.35GHz to 2.6GHz with a center frequency of 2.4GHz. The unit features a 3dBi gain, an impedance of 50 Ohms, and a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.9. It utilizes an SMA male connector and includes a 2-meter cable length. The antenna is rated IP67 for environmental protection and is intended for bracket mounting.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• IP67 rated environmental sealing for durable outdoor or industrial deployment
• Straight whip design optimized for 2.4GHz ISM band applications
• Integrated 2-meter coaxial cable for flexible installation positioning

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor networks
• Thread mesh networking devices
• Zigbee home automation controllers
• Wi-Fi IoT gateways

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SMA' confirms the standard male connector type required for your host device interface. Confirm the 2-meter cable length meets spatial requirements compared to the 1-meter variant. Ensure bracket mounting hardware is compatible with the antenna base. Cross-reference the IP67 rating against actual exposure conditions to validate long-term reliability in the target environment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-length 2-meter cable is necessary to bridge distance between the radio module and the antenna location. The 3dBi gain provides a balance between compact size and signal reach suitable for general indoor and outdoor coverage. The bracket mount style allows for rigid attachment to enclosures or poles, differing from adhesive or PCB-mounted alternatives.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-2.4-ID series, which focuses on industrial-grade dipole antennas. The ID series distinguishes itself through robust construction and high ingress protection ratings compared to standard commercial variants. This specific part number represents the 2.4GHz configuration within that lineup, sharing mechanical and environmental traits with other frequencies in the family while differing in electrical tuning.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-ID-1000-SMA serves as a direct substitute if a shorter 1-meter cable is acceptable. For different connector types, consider the RPSMA variant within the same series. Verify that any replacement maintains the 50-ohm impedance and SMA male interface to ensure compatibility with existing RF transceivers.
