Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official TE Connectivity Linx documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer certificates. Check for product change notifications or obsolescence notices prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile surface mount solution is required for sub-GHz wireless protocols. Ensure the host PCB layout supports solder mounting rather than connector-based interfaces. Validate that the 10W power rating aligns with the transmitter output specifications of the target application design.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the ANT-916 series of antennas engineered for global ISM frequencies. It complements other TE Connectivity Linx offerings like the JJB and CW series by providing a distinct helical form factor suitable for space-constrained embedded designs requiring surface mount technology.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Consult official TE Connectivity Linx substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic helical antennas may not match the specific impedance matching or radiation patterns documented for this model.
