Overview

The W3315B0100 is a dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth flexible flat patch antenna designed for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless applications. It features a compact 45mm x 6mm footprint with an integrated 100mm coaxial cable and I-PEX MHF-A13 connector for easy integration into internal device housings. The adhesive mounting system allows for secure placement on non-metallic surfaces within IoT and M2M enclosures.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna provides high gain performance of up to 5dBi in the 5GHz band while maintaining a low VSWR of 2. Its flexible FPC construction and adhesive backing simplify installation in curved or space-constrained enclosures. The pre-terminated 100mm cable with an I-PEX MHF-A13 connector eliminates the need for complex RF board layouts or manual soldering.

Applications

IoT and M2M Terminals
Provides reliable wireless connectivity for smart meters, industrial sensors, and telemetry systems.
Dual-Band WLAN Routers
Enables 802.11a/b/g/n/ac connectivity in compact consumer or industrial networking equipment.

Getting Started

When integrating this antenna, ensure it is mounted on a non-conductive surface away from metallic components that could cause detuning. Connect the I-PEX MHF-A13 plug to a compatible U.FL or MHF receptacle on your PCB. Use a network analyzer to verify the VSWR and return loss once the antenna is fixed in its final enclosure position to account for any dielectric loading.
