Overview

The ANT-2.4-WRT-SMA is a low-profile, panel-mount dome antenna designed for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications including Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi 4. It features a compact 11mm height and includes 216mm of RG-174 coaxial cable terminated with an SMA male connector. This antenna is engineered for permanent attachment through a metal surface, providing a secure and aesthetically clean RF solution for external enclosures.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna provides a peak gain of 3.4dBi and a VSWR of 1.9, ensuring efficient signal transmission in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz range. Its panel-mount dome design allows for easy integration into enclosures while maintaining a small physical footprint with a maximum height of only 11.00mm. The wide operating temperature range of -40C to +90C makes it suitable for demanding environmental conditions.

Applications

Industrial IoT Gateways
Provides a robust, external 2.4 GHz connection for metal-enclosed industrial gateways and controllers.
Smart Home Hubs
Low-profile design allows for unobtrusive mounting on home automation control panels and security hubs.
Remote Monitoring Systems
Suitable for outdoor or industrial sensing equipment requiring a reliable Zigbee or Thread connection.
Vending and Kiosk Connectivity
The dome shape and panel-mount design offer basic tamper resistance for public-facing wireless equipment.

Getting Started

Installation requires a 19mm diameter footprint for panel mounting; ensure the mounting surface is grounded to act as a ground plane for optimal performance. Connect the SMA male plug directly to the bulk-head or PCB-mounted SMA female connector of your radio module.
