ANT-W63-FPC-UFL-100

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity Linx ANT-W63-FPC-UFL-100 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna designed for WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E applications. It operates across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency bands, supporting 802.11ax, Bluetooth, and Zigbee protocols. The component features an orthogonal cable egress with a 100 mm coaxial cable terminating in a U.FL connector. It utilizes adhesive mounting on a PCB trace dipole structure, offering high gain performance suitable for compact wireless devices requiring multi-band connectivity.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Supports WiFi 6/6E, Bluetooth, and Zigbee protocols
• Multi-band operation covering 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz
• Orthogonal cable egress design for flexible routing
• Adhesive mount installation on PCB

Antennas RF Applications

• WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E access points
• IoT gateways and routers
• Bluetooth-enabled smart home devices
• Zigbee mesh network nodes

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm impedance, VSWR, and gain values for each band. Ensure the U.FL connector mating compatibility with the host board. Confirm adhesive type suitability for the target enclosure material and operating temperature range before finalizing procurement.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when multi-band support for WiFi 6/6E, Bluetooth, and Zigbee is required in a low-profile form factor. The orthogonal cable exit simplifies internal routing compared to co-linear designs. Verify that the U.FL connector interface matches the system's RF port and that the adhesive backing meets mechanical stability requirements.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the W63 series of FPC antennas from TE Connectivity Linx, specialized for next-generation wireless standards. It complements other W63 variants like the ANT-W63WS2-SMA by providing a flexible, surface-mount alternative for space-constrained embedded systems rather than external SMA-mounted solutions.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include models with different connectors or cable lengths, such as ANT-W63-FPC-SMA-100. Cross-model replacement requires verifying identical frequency coverage, gain specifications, and connector type to ensure RF performance continuity.
