Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm cable length and connector type variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and mechanical clearance requirements. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through the manufacturer's latest certification documents before finalizing procurement orders.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile dome antenna is required for sub-GHz ISM bands. The integrated cable reduces assembly complexity compared to bare antennas. Consider the negative gain value relative to other options in the series to ensure adequate link budget for the intended application range.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the WRT series by TE Connectivity Linx, targeting compact wireless modules. It complements other variants like the ANT-868-CW-RH which offers different form factors.
