• Right-angle RP-SMA connector for space-constrained mounting
• Whip-style design optimized for external signal transmission

Antennas RF Applications

• IoT device connectivity modules
• Wi-Fi 6 enabled routers and access points
• Wireless sensor network hardware

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires an RP-SMA male connector interface, as this antenna terminates in an RP-SMA plug. Confirm physical clearance for the right-angle orientation during installation. Ensure the host device supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands to utilize the full dual-band capability of the component.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, right-angle external antenna is required for dual-band wireless communication. It is suitable for designs where standard SMA connectors are incompatible due to gender requirements, necessitating the reverse-polarity variant. Consider the 2.5 dBi gain profile for short-range IoT or indoor Wi-Fi deployments.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol RF ST0226 series of passive external antennas. It is part of the MCP IoT product line, which focuses on high-performance wireless solutions. The series includes single-band variants like the ST0128-30-501-A, but this specific model is engineered for dual-band Wi-Fi and IoT interoperability.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

The ST0226-30-002-A and ST0226-30-502-A are related models within the same series. Verify if single-band alternatives meet the frequency requirements. Ensure any substitute maintains the RP-SMA connector type and right-angle form factor for mechanical compatibility.
