Antennas RF Procurement Notes

This component is officially marked as obsolete and no longer manufactured by TE Connectivity. Procurement should focus on verifying availability through authorized distributors or secondary market channels. Buyers must confirm the part status and potential tariff implications when shipping to the United States. Due to its discontinued status, lead times and stock levels are variable and subject to supplier inventory rather than standard production schedules.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part must account for its obsolete status in new designs. The fixed 460MHz center frequency and MX connector type limit compatibility with other interfaces. Designers requiring active components should consider alternative antennas from the same manufacturer that support current production lines while meeting similar UHF performance criteria.

Antennas RF Part Context

The EXC450MX is part of the broader EXC series of RF antennas produced by TE Connectivity. This series focuses on reliable connectivity solutions for wireless communications. The specific model targets niche UHF applications, distinguishing itself through its dedicated frequency band and specialized connector style compared to general-purpose antennas.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

As an obsolete part, direct substitutes are not officially listed. Engineers should evaluate other TE Connectivity UHF whip antennas with compatible MX connectors or adapt existing designs to accept different termination types using appropriate adapters.
