S161AH-868R

Antennas RF Overview

The Nearson Inc. S161AH-868R is a right-angle whip RF antenna designed for the UHF frequency band, specifically centered at 868MHz. It features an RP-SMA connector interface and is categorized under the General ISM RF family. The component has a maximum height of 160.00mm (6.299 inches) and is supplied in bulk packaging. This antenna is intended for use in wireless communication systems operating within the 300MHz to 1GHz range.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Right-angle whip design with RP-SMA connector
• Optimized for 868MHz UHF ISM band operation
• Connector mount installation method

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF wireless communication systems
• ISM band data transmission devices
• Industrial telemetry equipment

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Nearson Inc. or authorized distributors to confirm current RoHS compliance status and exact lead times. Ensure the RP-SMA connector polarity matches the receiving device interface requirements. Confirm that the 160mm height dimension fits within the mechanical enclosure constraints of the target application without interference.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a right-angle form factor is required for space-constrained UHF applications. The RP-SMA interface necessitates compatibility with corresponding female connectors on the host PCB or cable assembly. Consider the 160mm physical length for mounting clearance. Verify that the 868MHz center frequency aligns with regional regulatory allocations for ISM bands in the deployment area.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to Nearson Inc.'s S161XX series of RF antennas. The '868' designation indicates the specific frequency tuning for the European ISM band. Similar models in the lineup include variants tuned for other frequencies such as 915MHz, maintaining consistent mechanical and connector specifications across the product family.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include the S161AH-915R for 902-928MHz operations if frequency flexibility allows. Ensure any replacement maintains the RP-SMA reverse polarity connector type and right-angle whip configuration to preserve mechanical fit and electrical interface compatibility.
