B1322N

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity B1322N is a VHF mobile whip antenna designed for the 132-174 MHz frequency band. It features a base-loaded half-wave configuration that eliminates the need for a ground plane, making it suitable for vehicular applications. The unit provides a peak gain of approximately 2 dBi and operates with a 50 Ohm impedance. Constructed with a high-temperature ABS housing, triple-plated brass fittings, and a machined Delrin coil, it ensures durability in harsh environments. The antenna supports a power rating of 200 W and functions within a temperature range of -45°C to +85°C.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Base-loaded half-wave design requiring no ground plane
• High-temperature ABS housing with triple-plated brass fittings
• Machined Delrin coil with gold-plated contacts
• Omnidirectional radiation pattern for single-band VHF operation

Antennas RF Applications

• Vehicular communications systems
• Mobile radio installations
• External mount communication setups
• Stud, screw, or lug mount configurations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix if required, as standard listings may indicate special order status. Confirm that the item cannot be cancelled or returned once ordered. Ensure compatibility with NMO-style mounts if specified by the application requirements. Check RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations. Validate the operating temperature range against the intended deployment environment to ensure reliability under extreme conditions.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a robust, ground-plane-independent VHF antenna. The base-loaded design simplifies installation on vehicles lacking traditional grounding structures. Consider the 200 W power rating for high-output transceivers. The omnidirectional pattern suits general coverage needs. Evaluate the mechanical mounting options to match existing vehicle hardware constraints.

Antennas RF Part Context

The B1322N belongs to the TE Connectivity mobile coil antenna series, specifically targeting VHF frequencies. It is distinct from surface-mount resistors like the CPF0805B205RE1, which are unrelated passive components. This antenna is part of a catalog organized by frequency and application, emphasizing its role in external mobile communication infrastructure rather than internal circuitry.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing mounts before considering alternatives.
