ANT-916-JJB-RA

Antennas RF Overview

The ANT-916-JJB-RA is a compact, right-angle monopole RF antenna designed for the UHF band. It operates within a frequency range of 901MHz to 931MHz, centered at 915MHz. The component provides a gain of -0.5dBi with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 2. It features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes through-hole solder termination for PCB mounting. The physical height is maximized at 14.50mm.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Compact right-angle whip design suitable for space-constrained OEM applications
• Integrated into the JJB series for low-cost, cosmetically attractive solutions
• Through-hole solder termination ensures secure PCB integration

Antennas RF Applications

• LoRaWAN networks
• SigFox sensor networks
• General ISM band applications
• Remote monitoring systems

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version ENG_DS_ANT-916-JJB-ccc_A.pdf or equivalent official documentation before finalizing designs. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the manufacturer's recommended land pattern. Ensure environmental ratings align with operational requirements. Cross-reference the base product number ANT-916 to confirm family compatibility. Validate RoHS compliance status via current certification documents.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, right-angle orientation is required for embedded IoT devices. The -0.5dBi gain is suitable for short-range communication where board space is limited. Consider the 901MHz to 931MHz bandwidth for regional ISM compliance. This part is distinct from the straight JJB-ST variant due to its angular form factor.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the JJB Series by TE Connectivity Linx, targeting IoT and LPWAN markets. It complements other variants like the ANT-916-JJB-ST (straight) and ANT-916-JJB-HT-T (high temperature). The series emphasizes cost-effective, reliable performance for consumer and industrial wireless modules operating in the sub-GHz spectrum.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-916-JJB-ST serves as a direct mechanical alternative if a straight configuration is acceptable. Both share the same electrical specifications and series characteristics. Verify mounting hole alignment and PCB clearance differences between the right-angle and straight versions.
