Overview

The ANT-868-JJB-RA is a compact, right-angle whip antenna designed for 868 MHz band applications including LoRa, Sigfox, and ISM networks. It features a space-saving through-hole solder mount design, making it ideal for permanent integration into small wireless sensor nodes. With a 14.50mm maximum height, it provides a low-profile solution for UHF frequency communication.

Why Choose This Part

The through-hole solder termination eliminates the cost and failure points of RF connectors like SMA or U.FL. Its right-angle orientation and small 14.50mm height allow for flexible placement within tight enclosures while maintaining a VSWR of 2.0 or better.

Applications

LoRaWAN End-Nodes
Provides a rugged, fixed antenna solution for long-range wide area network sensors in the 868 MHz band.
Sigfox IoT Devices
Enables reliable low-power wide-area connectivity for European and international Sigfox deployments.
Industrial ISM Sensors
Suited for non-critical industrial monitoring hardware operating in the 855MHz to 880MHz range.
Smart Metering
Integration into utility meters where a low-profile, right-angle internal antenna is required for space efficiency.
