Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify availability through authorized distributors as this part is listed as End of Life. Confirm compatibility with existing KR connectors. Check for valid substitute models from the same manufacturer if original stock is unavailable. Ensure RoHS compliance requirements are met for your specific application environment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a straight whip configuration is required for VHF bands between 150MHz and 160MHz. Ensure the installation site supports a maximum height of 10.500 inches. Verify that the connected radio equipment can handle the 50W power rating and matches the KR connector interface type for proper integration.

Antennas RF Part Context

This antenna belongs to the EXH series by TE Connectivity, specifically engineered for robust VHF performance. It serves as a replacement or upgrade component for legacy two-way radio setups requiring reliable signal coverage in the 150-160MHz range. The KR connector ensures secure attachment to compatible radio housings.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Consider the EXH155KR as a potential alternative if operating frequencies near 155MHz are acceptable. Verify mechanical fit and connector compatibility before substitution. Consult official TE Connectivity documentation for cross-reference details regarding discontinued parts.
