ANT-2.4-LCW-RPS

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-LCW-RPS is a dipole antenna designed for the 2.4GHz ISM band, specifically covering 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz with a center frequency of 2.45GHz. It features an RP-SMA male connector and utilizes a whip, tilt mounting type. The antenna provides a gain of 2.8dBi and maintains a VSWR of 1.9. Its maximum height is 3.272 inches (83.10mm). This component supports communication protocols including Bluetooth, Zigbee, and general ISM applications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Features a tilt and swivel whip design for flexible orientation
• Utilizes RP-SMA male connector for secure mounting
• Optimized for 2.4GHz ISM band operations

Antennas RF Applications

• Bluetooth wireless communication systems
• Zigbee mesh network devices
• WiFi and WLAN indoor installations
• General ISM band equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type matches the system requirement, as this model uses an RP-SMA male interface distinct from standard SMA variants. Confirm that the tilt and swivel mechanical properties align with the installation space constraints. Ensure the operating frequency range of 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz covers the intended protocol requirements. Cross-reference the datasheet for environmental ratings if outdoor use is considered.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a flexible, adjustable antenna orientation is required for 2.4GHz applications. The tilt and swivel mechanism allows for optimal signal alignment in constrained spaces. Consider the RP-SMA connector compatibility with the host device. The 2.8dBi gain offers balanced performance for indoor wireless networking and IoT sensor nodes requiring reliable short-range connectivity.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT-2.4 series of low-cost ISM and Wi-Fi antennas manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx. It is functionally similar to the ANT-2.4-LCW-SMA but differs in the connector interface, utilizing RP-SMA instead of standard SMA. The series targets compact wireless modules and consumer electronics requiring reliable 2.4GHz connectivity.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-2.4-LCW-SMA serves as a direct substitute if the system accommodates standard SMA connectors instead of RP-SMA. Verify connector gender and threading compatibility before substitution. Other models in the ANT-2.4 family may offer different gain or form factors but require electrical verification.
