Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official TE Connectivity documentation to confirm exact electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with target RF circuit impedance and mounting constraints before procurement. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance certifications.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring integrated wideband cellular connectivity in compact form factors. Evaluate spatial constraints on the PCB layout to ensure adequate clearance for the omnidirectional radiation pattern. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns with regional network requirements for 5G and LTE bands.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to the Splatch series of antennas from Linx Technologies, now part of TE Connectivity. The series specializes in low-profile, surface-mount solutions for IoT and mobile communications. The L000657-80 variant specifically targets wideband cellular performance, differing from GNSS-specific models in the same family.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Consult official TE Connectivity substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic wideband cellular antennas may not match the specific gain or VSWR characteristics required for certified device implementations.
