ANT-868-OC-LG-RPS

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-868-OC-LG-RPS is a straight whip RF antenna designed for the UHF band, specifically tuned to 868MHz. It operates within a frequency range of 855MHz to 880MHz and features an RP-SMA male connector for installation. The antenna provides a gain of -1.5dBi with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.9. Its maximum height is 51.00mm, making it suitable for compact external mounting applications in ISM, LoRa, sensor network, and SigFox systems.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design with swivel capability for flexible orientation
• RP-SMA male connector for secure interface connection
• Optimized performance for 868MHz ISM and LPWAN protocols

Antennas RF Applications

• ISM band communication systems
• LoRa wireless sensor networks
• SigFox low-power wide-area networks

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and mechanical dimensions against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the RP-SMA interface matches the host device requirements. Check current availability as supply constraints may affect lead times.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, externally mounted antenna is required for 868MHz operations. The -1.5dBi gain and small form factor suit space-constrained designs. Ensure the application environment supports the specified VSWR and frequency range for optimal signal integrity.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-868 series by TE Connectivity Linx, focusing on UHF band antennas. It complements other variants like the ANT-868-CW-HW and ANT-868-OC-LG-SMA, offering different connector options and heights while maintaining similar operational frequencies for industrial IoT and wireless sensor applications.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-868-OC-LG-SMA serves as a direct substitute with identical electrical characteristics but utilizes an SMA male connector instead of RP-SMA. Verify connector compatibility and mounting requirements when considering alternative models from the same series.
