B4302NS

Antennas RF Overview

The B4302NS is a UHF whip antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity, designed for operation within the 430MHz to 450MHz frequency range. It features a straight whip design with an omnidirectional radiation pattern and provides a gain of 2.4dBi. The unit utilizes an NMO base mount type and exhibits a VSWR of 2. The maximum height is specified as 12.500 inches (317.50mm).

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Omnidirectional radiation pattern suitable for broad coverage applications.
• Straight whip design optimized for UHF band transmission.
• NMO base mount configuration for secure vehicle installation.

Antennas RF Applications

• Marine communication systems
• Land mobile radio networks
• Public safety communications

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' against official TE Connectivity documentation to confirm if it denotes a distinct variant or packaging difference compared to the standard B4302N model. Ensure compatibility with existing NMO mounting hardware before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-gain omnidirectional solution is required for the 430-450MHz band. The NMO base mount is standard for many vehicular platforms. Evaluate spatial constraints against the 12.500-inch maximum height specification during mechanical integration planning.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the TE Connectivity RF antenna portfolio, specifically targeting UHF frequencies. It serves as a replacement or upgrade for legacy whip antennas in mobile radio environments requiring reliable signal propagation without directional alignment.
