ANT-2.4-WRT-SMA-150

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-2.4-WRT-SMA-150 is a TE Connectivity Linx RF antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz ISM band, supporting Bluetooth, WiFi, WLAN, and Zigbee protocols. It features a dome physical form with an SMA male connector and panel mount style. The unit includes a 150 mm cable length. Key electrical parameters include a peak gain of 9.1 dBi and an efficiency of 66 percent. The bandwidth covers up to 2.5 GHz, ensuring compatibility with standard 2.4 GHz wireless applications requiring robust signal transmission.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Dome-shaped design suitable for unobtrusive installation in various enclosures
• Supports multiple wireless protocols including Bluetooth, WiFi, and Zigbee
• Integrated SMA male connector for direct interface with host devices

Antennas RF Applications

• Wireless vending machines
• Security systems
• Traffic control equipment
• Power monitoring devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-150' confirms the 150 mm cable length variant when ordering. Ensure the SMA male connector type matches the receiving port on the target device. Confirm that the panel mount requirement aligns with the mechanical installation constraints of the final product enclosure. Cross-reference the datasheet for any recent updates to the RoHS compliance status or manufacturing lead times.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, tamper-resistant dome antenna is required for indoor or protected outdoor use. The high gain of 9.1 dBi makes it suitable for applications needing extended range within the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Consider the 150 mm cable length for routing flexibility between the mounting point and the RF module. Ensure the application environment does not require hermetic sealing beyond the provided adhesive foam compression ring.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the WRT Series from Linx Technologies, specialized for wireless infrastructure where reliability and low profile are critical. The series is engineered for industrial and commercial IoT deployments. The ANT-2.4-WRT-SMA-150 specifically addresses the need for a durable, high-performance solution that integrates seamlessly into non-conductive or open metal enclosures without requiring a separate ground plane.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

For direct replacement, verify the cable length and connector polarity. Generic 2.4 GHz dome antennas may lack the specific 9.1 dBi gain or integrated counterpoise design. Ensure any substitute supports the same protocol suite (Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee) and maintains the SMA male termination for mechanical compatibility.
