Overview

The ANT-433-PW-RA is a 433 MHz whip antenna designed for Sub-1GHz ISM band applications. It features a right-angle tilt mechanism and a screw-mount panel termination, making it suitable for external mounting on device enclosures. The antenna operates within a frequency range of 413MHz to 443MHz with a center frequency tuned for common remote control and security bands.

Why Choose This Part

The screw-mount design provides a permanent, secure attachment to panels compared to connectorized antennas that can vibrate loose. Its tilt capability allows for flexible positioning to optimize signal polarization and clear physical obstructions. With a VSWR of 2 and a compact 5.180 inch profile, it balances performance with a manageable physical footprint.

Applications

Wireless Security Systems
Ideal for mounting on alarm control panels and window/door sensors operating on 433 MHz frequencies.
Remote Keyless Entry
Used as a receiver antenna for gate and garage door openers requiring reliable Sub-GHz reception.
Industrial Telemetry
Provides a robust external connection for low-power sensors and remote monitoring units in industrial settings.
Smart Home Hubs
Acts as the primary communication link for smart switches and environmental sensors using the 433 MHz ISM band.

Getting Started

To integrate this antenna, ensure the ground plane of the host PCB is properly connected to the screw-mount hardware to maximize radiation efficiency. For best results, mount the antenna away from metal obstructions and keep the transmission line between the RF module and the mount as short as possible. No software configuration is required as it is a passive radiator.
