ANT-418-USP-T

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-418-USP-T is a microSplatch™ chip RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for surface-mount assembly. It operates at a center frequency of 418MHz within the UHF band (300MHz ~ 1GHz), covering a specific range of 413MHz to 423MHz. The component provides a gain of -8.9dBi and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 2. It features solder termination and has a maximum height of 0.103 inches (2.62mm). This antenna supports general ISM standards and is intended for use in alarm, remote control, and security systems.

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the specified variant matches the required surface-mount process and soldering parameters. Check for any recent product change notices or cosmetic updates that may affect mechanical fit without altering electrical function. Ensure compliance with RoHS specifications as documented in the official environmental certification.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile surface-mount antenna is required for UHF ISM applications. The -8.9dBi gain and 2 VSWR are suitable for short-range communication needs. Consider the 0.103-inch maximum height constraint for enclosure design. Verify compatibility with the target PCB layout and impedance matching network for optimal performance in alarm or security system implementations.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT-418 basic product family from TE Connectivity Linx, utilizing the microSplatch™ series technology. It is distinct from other variants like the helical ANT-418-HESM or whip antennas such as the ANT-418-PW-QW. The USP designation indicates a specific chip antenna form factor designed for direct soldering onto printed circuit boards rather than connector-based installations.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consult the manufacturer's official cross-reference guides for potential alternatives if this specific SMD variant is unavailable.
