Amphenol RF
RF ANTENNA IoT, LoRa Helical Solder Through Hole
Active
Overview
The ST0686-10-N02-U is a helical LoRa antenna from Amphenol RF designed for the 902MHz to 928MHz UHF band. This compact through-hole antenna provides 2.1dBi of gain and is specifically optimized for low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) applications in the North American ISM band.
Why Choose This Part
This helical antenna offers a space-efficient vertical profile with a maximum height of 36.60mm, making it ideal for compact enclosures. It features a robust through-hole solder termination for secure mechanical mounting and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40C to +105C.
