Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with TE Connectivity Linx before procurement. Confirm that the surface-mount footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your environmental specifications. Cross-reference the part number against official distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile surface-mount solution is required for sub-GHz applications. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing small form factors over high-gain performance. Consider the 1.1dBi gain relative to whip or panel alternatives if space is constrained. Validate compatibility with the target protocol stack during the initial design phase.
