CR450

Antennas RF Overview

The TE Connectivity CR450 is an obsolete UHF whip antenna designed for the 450MHz to 470MHz frequency range, with a center frequency of 460MHz. It features a straight whip configuration and provides a gain of 2dB. The antenna has a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5 and utilizes a UHF female connector for termination. It is intended for bracket mounting and has a maximum height of 17.008 inches (432.00mm).

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design optimized for UHF band transmission.
• Broadband operation covering 450MHz to 470MHz frequencies.
• UHF female connector interface for secure attachment.

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF radio communication systems
• Base station antenna setups
• Vehicle-mounted RF transmission

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify component obsolescence status prior to integration. Confirm mechanical fit for bracket mounting applications. Ensure connector compatibility with existing UHF female interfaces. Review datasheet specifications for environmental ratings and electrical performance limits. Validate supply chain availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets due to discontinued manufacturing status.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model only if the specific 450-470MHz UHF band requirement aligns with system architecture. Consider the 2dB gain and 1.5 VSWR metrics for link budget calculations. Evaluate the physical dimensions against available mounting space. Assess the UHF female connector type against existing cable assemblies. Note that the part is obsolete; alternative sourcing strategies must be established.

Antennas RF Part Context

The CR450 belongs to the Ringo Series of antennas manufactured by TE Connectivity. This series typically includes various models tailored for different frequency bands and gain requirements within the UHF spectrum. The CR450 specifically targets the lower end of the UHF band with moderate gain characteristics.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided documentation. The related CRX450 model exists but offers different specifications (5dBi gain, different dimensions) and is also obsolete. Verify functional equivalence carefully if considering other TE Connectivity UHF antennas.
