ANT-868-NUB-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-868-NUB-SMA is a straight whip RF antenna designed for the 868MHz ISM band, supporting LoRaWAN, LPWA, and Sigfox protocols. It operates within a frequency range of 848MHz to 898MHz with a center frequency of 868MHz. The component features an SMA male connector and bracket mounting style. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 0.6dBi, a VSWR of 1.9, and an impedance of 50 Ohms. It is rated for IP67 ingress protection and complies with RoHS standards.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for compact industrial installations
• IP67 rated enclosure for enhanced environmental durability
• SMA male connector interface for standard RF integration

Antennas RF Applications

• ISM Band Industrial Applications
• LoRaWAN Network Devices
• Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) Systems
• Sigfox Sensor Networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for mechanical tolerances and connector pinout details before finalizing the PCB layout or enclosure design. Confirm that the SMA male connector type matches the receiving equipment interface requirements. Ensure the mounting bracket dimensions align with the target chassis specifications to maintain proper grounding and structural integrity during operation.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, vertically polarized antenna is required for 868MHz operations in harsh environments. The IP67 rating makes it suitable for outdoor or washdown applications where moisture resistance is critical. Compare the 0.6dBi gain against other dome or helical variants if space constraints or radiation pattern requirements differ significantly from the straight whip configuration.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-868 series by TE Connectivity Linx, which provides a range of antennas for sub-GHz ISM bands. The NUB suffix typically denotes a specific whip style within this family. It complements other models like the WRT dome series and CW stubby variants, offering a distinct form factor for different mounting needs while maintaining consistent electrical performance across the 868MHz band.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the ANT-868-ID-1000-SMA, which shares similar electrical characteristics but differs in cable length and physical height. When replacing, verify that the connector gender and mounting hardware are compatible with the existing system infrastructure to ensure seamless integration without requiring additional adapters.
