Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and polarity against the target PCB footprint before integration. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns with the intended wireless protocol requirements. Ensure compliance with regional radio regulations for the target deployment market. Check current manufacturing status and availability through authorized TE Connectivity distributors.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile external antenna is required for 2.4GHz ISM band applications. The U.FL connector choice suits space-constrained designs needing direct board attachment. Consider the 3.5dBi gain level for standard range requirements. Evaluate the dome form factor against aesthetic or spatial constraints in the final product enclosure.
