Overview

The ANT-2.4-CW-HWR-SMA is a center-fed 1/2-wave dipole antenna designed for 2.4GHz ISM band applications including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread. It features a pivoting whip design with a 90-degree tilt and 360-degree rotation mechanism, terminated with a standard SMA male connector. The antenna provides a peak gain of 3.2dBi and a VSWR of less than 2.0 across its 2.3GHz to 2.6GHz operating range.

Why Choose This Part

The 1/2-wave dipole design eliminates the need for a ground plane on the host PCB, simplifying mechanical integration. Its articulating hinge allows for optimal positioning to maximize signal strength, while the internal O-ring seal provides basic environmental protection for the connector interface.

Applications

IoT Gateway Connectivity
Ideal for industrial and smart home gateways requiring reliable Wi-Fi or Zigbee connectivity with adjustable antenna orientation.
WLAN Access Points
Provides high-gain coverage for 802.11b/g/n wireless networks in indoor environments.
Bluetooth Low Energy Peripherals
Enhances range for BLE devices in medical or industrial monitoring systems requiring an external antenna.
