Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the target device interface matches the RP-SMA male connector specification. Confirm that the mounting location accommodates the antenna's height and allows for the required tilt swivel movement. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. Check for compliance requirements such as RoHS status if applicable to the final product assembly.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when high directional gain is required for 2.4GHz ISM band operations. The tilt swivel feature is critical for optimizing signal strength in constrained enclosures. Compare against standard whip antennas if space permits, as this unit offers superior performance due to its loaded coil design. Ensure the host system can handle the mechanical forces associated with the swivel mount during operation.
