Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the 870-960 MHz band coverage provided by this model. Confirm compatibility with the U.FL connector interface on the host PCB. Ensure the system can accommodate the 216 mm cable length and the physical dimensions of the whip element. Check environmental ratings if deployment involves extreme temperatures or moisture.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when cellular operation is required within the 870-960 MHz spectrum. It is suitable for devices needing robust physical protection due to its over-molded design. Consider the 1.6 dBi gain for standard range requirements. Ensure the host device supports the necessary cellular protocols compatible with this frequency band.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the PW series of antennas from TE Connectivity Linx. The series includes variants for different frequency bands such as 450 MHz and 868 MHz. All models share similar construction features like flexible shafts and over-molded jackets for durability.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ANT-868-PW-QW-UFL is a related model but operates at 750-950 MHz. Verify frequency overlap before substitution. Other PW series antennas may offer different gains or connectors.
