ANT-868-HETH

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-868-HETH is a helical RF antenna designed for the 868 MHz ISM and LPWA bands. It operates within a frequency range of 862 MHz to 876 MHz, featuring a center frequency of 868 MHz. The component provides a gain of 5.6 dBi with a maximum power handling capacity of 15 W. Electrical specifications include a VSWR of 2.2 and an echo loss of -8.5 dB. It utilizes a through-hole mounting style with solder termination. The physical height is limited to a maximum of 0.350 inches (8.90 mm).

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Helical coil structure optimized for compact embedded applications.
• High gain performance suitable for low-power wide-area networks.
• Through-hole solder termination for reliable PCB integration.

Antennas RF Applications

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as distribution channels may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance and REACH SVHC declarations against specific project requirements. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB design before finalizing orders. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to mechanical dimensions or electrical tolerances.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when high gain is required in a low-profile form factor. The helical design supports vertical polarization. Ensure the operating environment stays within standard industrial temperature ranges. Verify that the 15 W power rating exceeds the transmitter output to prevent damage.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the HE series of antennas from TE Connectivity Linx Technologies. It is categorized under UHF frequency group antennas. The product is classified as a general ISM antenna type, distinct from chip or whip variants within the same brand portfolio.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacements require matching the 868 MHz frequency, helical structure, and through-hole termination method.
