Overview

The ANT-2.4-WRT-MON-UFL is a low-profile, panel-mount monopole antenna designed for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications including WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and IEEE 802.15.4. It features a compact dome design that mounts through a hole in the device enclosure and terminates in a 216mm coaxial cable with a U.FL (MHF1) compatible connector. This antenna is optimized for applications where a permanent, external antenna is required while maintaining a small footprint.

Why Choose This Part

The tamper-resistant panel mount design uses both a pressure-sensitive adhesive ring and a hex nut for secure mechanical attachment. With a VSWR of 1.9 and a gain of 0.8dBi, it offers reliable performance in a package only 27mm high, making it ideal for space-constrained industrial housings.

Applications

Industrial IoT Gateways
Provides a robust external connection point for Zigbee or WiFi mesh nodes in metal or plastic enclosures.
Smart Home Hubs
Low-profile dome design allows for inconspicuous mounting on the top or side of home automation controllers.
Vending and Telemetry
Secure panel mounting with a hex nut prevents tampering while providing reliable 2.4 GHz wireless data transmission.

Getting Started

Ensure the antenna is mounted on a ground plane for optimal monopole performance, as it requires a conductive surface to act as the second half of the antenna. During assembly, torque the provided hex nut to the manufacturer's specification and ensure the U.FL connector is fully seated on the radio module's receptacle.
