B132S-L

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity B132S-L is a tunable quarter-wave whip antenna designed for mobile applications. It operates within the frequency range of 132 MHz to 525 MHz. The component features a spring base for tuning and adjustment. It has a power rating of 200 W and an impedance of 50 Ohms. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is specified at 2:1. The antenna utilizes a Motorola-style mount interface, which must be ordered separately. It is constructed for durability in mobile environments.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the required mounting hardware is included or purchased separately, as the antenna typically requires a distinct Motorola-style mount not included in the package. Confirm the specific frequency tuning requirements align with the 132-525 MHz operational range. Ensure compatibility with existing coaxial cabling and connector types used in the target installation environment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a tunable solution is required across a wide VHF/UHF spectrum. The spring-loaded design allows for precise frequency optimization during installation. Consider the 200 W power rating for high-output transmitter applications. Verify space constraints for the whip length and ensure the vehicle surface supports the necessary mounting configuration.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the family of mobile antennas manufactured by TE Connectivity. It is engineered for robust performance in vehicular environments. The design prioritizes adjustability and broad frequency coverage. It serves as a critical interface between the transceiver and the RF environment in mobile communication setups.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. When replacing, ensure the new part matches the 132-525 MHz frequency range and 50 Ohm impedance. Verify that the mounting interface remains compatible with existing vehicle brackets.
