PAL86518H-FNF

Rfid Antennas Overview

The TE Connectivity PAL86518H-FNF is a fixed panel-mount RFID antenna designed for the 865–956 MHz frequency range. It features left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) with a gain of 8.5 dBiC. The unit utilizes an N-type connector and is rated for 3W power handling. This component supports UHF RFID applications requiring stable directional transmission.

Rfid Antennas Feature Summary

• Left-hand circular polarization for improved tag readability
• Fixed panel-mount design for permanent installation
• N-type connector interface for secure cable attachment

Rfid Antennas Applications

• UHF RFID reader systems
• Supply chain logistics tracking
• Retail inventory management portals

Rfid Antennas Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required connector type and polarization. Confirm that the operating frequency aligns with regional RFID regulations. Ensure the mounting surface is suitable for the panel-mount form factor to maintain structural integrity during operation.

Rfid Antennas Selection Notes

Select this model when left-hand circular polarization is required for specific tag orientations. The fixed panel format suits stationary reader setups rather than mobile or handheld configurations. Consider the N-type connector compatibility with existing coaxial cabling infrastructure before procurement.

Rfid Antennas Part Context

This antenna belongs to TE Connectivity’s Laird product line, specifically engineered for UHF RFID infrastructure. It complements other fixed-panel solutions in the portfolio by offering defined circular polarization characteristics essential for reliable long-range identification in controlled environments.

Rfid Antennas Replacement Considerations

The PAR86518H-FNF is a related variant within the same series. Verify if the alternative part number differs in connector style or polarization direction before substitution.
