Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required connector types and cable lengths. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration into regulated assemblies. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and supply chain integrity.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile active antenna solution is required for L1 band signals. Ensure the host system supports the necessary DC bias voltage for the active amplifier stage. Verify that the mechanical footprint accommodates the 13x13 mm base and that the 26mm cable routing does not interfere with adjacent components or enclosure constraints.

Antennas RF Part Context

This model belongs to Abracon's series of compact RF antennas designed for global navigation satellite systems. It represents a surface-mount solution intended for integration into portable electronics and embedded tracking hardware where size and profile are critical design factors.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Abracon substitution guide for verified equivalent part numbers. Do not assume functional interchangeability with other manufacturers' models without validating electrical parameters and mechanical footprints.
