B4063

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity B4063 is a UHF mobile whip antenna designed for the 406MHz to 430MHz frequency range, with a center frequency of 418MHz. It features a base-loaded 5/8 wave design providing 3dBi gain and an NMO mount interface. The antenna supports a maximum power rating of 200W and operates within a temperature range of -45°C to +85°C. Physical dimensions include a whip length of 34 inches (863.6mm) and a maximum height of 15.000 inches (381.00mm). The unit exhibits a VSWR of 2 and utilizes a low-visibility plated finish.

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized TE Connectivity channels or certified distributors. Confirm that the specific order matches the discontinued status notice dated November 18, 2024. Ensure compatibility with existing NMO base mounts on target vehicles. Request original manufacturer documentation to validate RoHS compliance and ECCN classification prior to final acquisition decisions.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-gain UHF antenna is required for mobile platforms operating between 406MHz and 430MHz. The NMO mount interface dictates compatibility with standard magnetic or permanent roof bases. Consider the 200W power rating against transmitter output specifications. Evaluate the 34-inch whip length against vehicle clearance constraints and aesthetic requirements for low-profile installations.
