EXC450BN

Antennas RF Overview

The EXC450BN is a compact, low-profile PCB antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity Laird. It operates within the UHF and SHF frequency groups, specifically covering the 2.4 GHz ISM band (2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz) and the 5.3625 GHz band (4.9 GHz to 5.825 GHz). The component features a maximum height of 0.060 inches (1.52 mm) and utilizes an SMD mounting type with an integrated 370 mm cable terminating in a U.FL (U.MCC) or I.PEX MHF1 connector.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Dual-band operation supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5.3625 GHz frequency ranges
• Ultra-low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Integrated flexible cable termination for remote antenna placement

Antennas RF Applications

• Wireless local area network (WLAN) devices
• Bluetooth-enabled consumer electronics
• Industrial wireless sensor nodes

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector variant required during procurement, as the model supports both U.FL and I.PEX MHF1 interfaces. Confirm that the 370 mm cable length aligns with the mechanical layout constraints of the target assembly. Ensure compatibility with the host RF circuit's impedance matching requirements before finalizing the order.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-band solution is required for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations within a strict vertical height limitation. The integrated cable allows the antenna element to be positioned away from the main PCB, which can help mitigate interference from digital noise sources on the board while maintaining a small footprint.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the TE Connectivity Laird Nanoblade series, designed for high-volume embedded wireless applications. The series emphasizes miniaturization and ease of integration into portable devices. The manufacturer, formerly known as Laird Technologies, is now part of TE Connectivity's broader portfolio of connectivity and sensing solutions.
