Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify component obsolescence status prior to procurement planning. The BB1323R is officially marked as obsolete and no longer manufactured. Confirm availability of replacement parts such as the B1323S through authorized distributors. Ensure compatibility with existing NMO mounting infrastructure before transitioning to alternative models.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy system integration requires specific VHF performance characteristics. Evaluate mechanical fitment for the 980mm length constraint. Consider the transition to active substitutes like the B1323S for new deployments. Verify impedance matching requirements against connected radio equipment specifications.

Antennas RF Part Context

This model belongs to the TE Connectivity mobile coil antenna series, specifically engineered for elastomer spring package applications. It serves as a specialized RF solution for vehicle-mounted communication systems requiring robust outdoor performance and reliable signal transmission across designated public safety bands.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The B1323S is documented as a similar substitute part number from TE Connectivity. Verify electrical parameter alignment and physical mounting compatibility when replacing the obsolete BB1323R with available alternatives.
