ANT-868-CW-HW

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-868-CW-HW is a vertical whip RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for operation within the 855 MHz to 880 MHz frequency range with a center frequency of 868 MHz. It provides 0 dBi gain and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.9. The component features an RP-SMA male connector and utilizes a straight whip design. It is rated for panel or connector mounting and operates reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip antenna structure optimized for ISM band applications
• RP-SMA male connector interface for secure attachment
• Designed for low power wide area network protocols

Antennas RF Applications

• ISM band wireless communication systems
• LoRa sensor networks
• Sigfox IoT devices

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific RP-SMA connector gender and pin configuration against the target equipment interface before integration. Confirm that the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the intended deployment site. Ensure mechanical dimensions fit within the designated enclosure space.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard straight whip form factor is required for 868 MHz operations. The 0 dBi gain suits general coverage needs without directional focus. The RP-SMA interface dictates compatibility with mating connectors on the host device.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-868 series of RF antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series encompasses various mounting styles and connector types tailored for sub-GHz wireless applications. This specific variant focuses on the European ISM band frequencies.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the ANT-868 family such as ANT-868-CW-RH or ANT-868-ID-1000-SMA, provided the connector type and physical dimensions are compatible with the existing assembly.
