Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify component status prior to procurement as the YFCA002AA is designated as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Confirm that existing inventory meets project requirements before initiating orders. Ensure compatibility with the specified RF1.13 connector interface and adhesive mounting method during system integration planning.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna for applications requiring a low-profile embedded solution with integrated cabling. The 30x20 mm footprint suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 4.47 dBi gain and VSWR of 4 meet link budget requirements. Consider the NRND status when planning long-term production lifecycles.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the Quectel cellular antenna family, specifically engineered for embedded wireless modules. It complements other embedded solutions like the YF0022AA but differs in physical form factor and band configuration. The YFCA002AA utilizes a T-Bar Flex PCB trace architecture optimized for surface mounting.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the NRND status, alternative antennas such as the YF0022AA may be considered if mechanical and electrical specifications align with the new design requirements.
