ANT-916-ID-1000-SMA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-916-ID-1000-SMA is a passive RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Linx, designed for the 916MHz ISM band. It features a straight whip style with a center frequency of 916MHz and an operational range of 881MHz to 951MHz. The antenna provides a gain of 1.6 dBi and maintains a VSWR of 1.9. It utilizes a 50 Ohm impedance and terminates in an SMA male connector attached to a 1-meter cable. Designed for bracket mounting, it offers IP67 ingress protection and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for sub-GHz ISM applications
• IP67 rated environmental sealing for durability
• Integrated 1-meter cable with SMA male termination

Antennas RF Applications

• LoRaWAN sensor networks
• Sigfox communication systems
• General ISM band remote monitoring

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized TE Connectivity channels due to discontinued status. Confirm mechanical fitment for bracket installation and ensure SMA connector compatibility with host equipment. Review datasheet specifications for environmental ratings and electrical performance prior to integration.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring robust outdoor or industrial deployment where IP67 sealing is critical. The 1.6 dBi gain suits moderate range requirements in LoRa and Sigfox networks. Ensure the straight whip form factor aligns with spatial constraints and that the SMA interface matches the system architecture.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-916 ID Series, which includes various configurations for the 916MHz frequency band. It shares the series' focus on ISM band reliability but differs from other variants in its specific whip geometry, cable length, and connector type, distinguishing it from angled or shorter-cable alternatives.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available as this component is marked as discontinued. Engineers should evaluate current TE Connectivity offerings within the ANT-916 family or consult manufacturer support for direct obsolescence management guidance.
