C30

Antennas RF Overview

The C30 is a straight whip RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity, designed for mobile radio applications. It features an NMO base mount configuration, facilitating secure attachment to vehicle surfaces. The component operates within the VHF frequency range of 136-174 MHz and UHF range of 400-520 MHz, supporting dual-band communication requirements. Constructed with a black finish, it provides durable environmental protection. The antenna utilizes a standard 50 Ohm impedance to ensure efficient signal transmission and reception across specified bands.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for omnidirectional radiation patterns
• NMO base mount ensures robust mechanical stability on vehicles
• Dual-band capability supports both VHF and UHF frequency ranges

Antennas RF Applications

• Mobile two-way radio installations in vehicles
• Emergency service vehicle communications
• Commercial fleet tracking and dispatch systems

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the C30 part number to confirm the NMO base mount style and dual-band frequency coverage. Confirm the physical dimensions and mounting hardware compatibility with the intended vehicle surface prior to installation. Ensure the application environment aligns with the antenna's operational specifications for reliable performance.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-mount, dual-band solution is required for VHF and UHF operations. The NMO base offers a standardized interface for common vehicle mounting scenarios. Consider the straight whip form factor for applications where low profile is not a primary constraint but durability and broad band coverage are essential.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to TE Connectivity's portfolio of RF antennas and connectivity solutions. It serves as a passive radiating element within larger communication systems, distinct from active modules or connectors. The product supports industrial and commercial mobility needs by providing reliable signal propagation interfaces.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the NMO base mount interface and cover the same VHF/UHF frequency bands. Verify impedance matching at 50 Ohms and similar physical mounting constraints to ensure direct interchangeability without modifying the vehicle structure.
