Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify component status prior to ordering as this part is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Confirm availability through authorized distributors only, noting that supply may be limited to existing stock. Ensure compatibility with N-type connectors and validate environmental compliance requirements such as RoHS standards against current project specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model specifically for projects requiring fixed-frequency operation between 136 MHz and 140 MHz. The N-type female interface dictates cable selection and mating hardware choices. Consider the 150 W power rating when designing transmitter chains to ensure safe operational margins. Bracket mounting constraints must be evaluated during the mechanical integration phase to ensure proper physical alignment and structural stability.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the TE Connectivity RF Antenna portfolio, categorized under VHF whip antennas. It serves as a specialized solution for narrowband communication needs within the 136-140 MHz spectrum.
