Overview

The ANT-916-JJB-ST is an ultra-compact, straight whip antenna designed for the 901MHz to 931MHz frequency range. It is a cost-effective solution for short-range wireless data links, specifically optimized for through-hole solder mounting on printed circuit boards.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna features an extremely low profile with a maximum height of 17.60mm, making it one of the most compact whip antennas available. Its straight through-hole solder termination ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection directly to the PCB without the need for expensive RF connectors.

Applications

LoRa and Sigfox Nodes
Ideal for low-power wide-area network devices operating in the 915MHz ISM band where internal concealment is required.
Remote Sensor Monitoring
Provides reliable omni-directional coverage for industrial sensors in 900MHz wireless mesh networks.
Smart Home Devices
Small footprint allows for easy integration into plastic enclosures for lighting and climate control systems.
