Antennas RF Procurement Notes

This component is officially marked as obsolete and no longer in production. Verification of availability should focus on surplus or secondary market sources rather than direct manufacturer supply. Confirm part authenticity and physical condition when sourcing from non-primary distributors due to discontinued status.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model only if legacy compatibility with existing NMO mounts and 450-470MHz systems is required. Note that the current gain specification is 2dBi; verify if higher gain alternatives like the B4502N are suitable for updated designs. Ensure mechanical fitment matches the 381mm length constraint.

Antennas RF Part Context

The BB4502NR belongs to TE Connectivity's mobile coil antenna family, specifically engineered for vehicular RF communication. It serves as a specialized variant within the broader BB4502 product line, tailored for specific frequency bands used in public safety and industrial transport sectors.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The B4502N is a confirmed substitute offering similar specifications with a 2.4dBi gain. Verify mechanical compatibility and frequency alignment before substitution.
