Phoenix Contact 2867199 RF Antenna 900MHz Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2867199 is a 900MHz whip straight RF antenna with N-type female termination, designed for bracket mount applications in the UHF frequency band (902MHz–928MHz). This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system redesign, maintenance, and procurement planning. The antenna delivers 7dBi gain with 1.5 VSWR and supports up to 150W power handling, suitable for industrial ISM band applications requiring directional RF coverage.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 2867199 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Frequency alignment: Center frequency of 900MHz within the ISM band
• Termination type: N-type female connector for direct RF path compatibility
• Antenna topology: Whip, straight configuration for form factor compatibility
• Connector gender and type: Female termination to match existing RF infrastructure

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Mounting interface: Bracket or base mount configurations acceptable for system integration
• Power handling: Minimum 150W capability to support existing transmit specifications
• Environmental rating: IP65 or equivalent ingress protection for outdoor/industrial deployment

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1361276 meets these criteria as a 900MHz whip antenna with N-type female termination, though with modified gain (5dB vs. 7dBi) and mounting approach (base mount vs. bracket mount).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1361276 as Primary Substitute:

The 1361276 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2867199. Both components share identical center frequency (900MHz), connector type (N-type female), and antenna topology (whip, straight). The 1361276 maintains active product status with current RoHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Key Differences Requiring System Evaluation:

Gain differential: The 1361276 provides 5dB gain versus 7dBi on the original part. This 2dBi reduction represents approximately 37% lower effective radiated power in the same direction and requires link budget recalculation for range-dependent applications.

Mounting interface: The 1361276 uses base mount configuration instead of bracket mount. Mechanical integration requires adapter evaluation or enclosure redesign to accommodate the different mounting footprint.

Compliance Status:

Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and share identical HTSUS commodity code (8517.71.0000). The 1361276 adds REACH Affected designation, indicating compliance with EU chemical substance regulations for new procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1361276 directly replace the 2867199 without modification?

A: Direct connector-level replacement is possible due to identical N-type female termination. However, mechanical mounting requires evaluation due to bracket mount (2867199) versus base mount (1361276) difference. Gain reduction (2dBi) necessitates RF link budget verification.

Q: What is the impact of the 2dBi gain difference on system performance?

A: The gain reduction represents approximately 37% lower directional power concentration. Systems operating at link margin limits require recalculation of coverage range and transmit power requirements. Applications with adequate link budget margin may not require adjustment.

Q: Are there frequency range limitations for the 1361276?

A: The 1361276 is specified for 900MHz center frequency without explicit frequency range documentation. The original 2867199 covers 902MHz–928MHz (ISM band). Confirm frequency range compatibility with your specific application before deployment.

Q: What are the packaging and inventory considerations?

A: The 2867199 (obsolete) has 844 units in stock. The 1361276 (active) has 949 units available. For new designs, source the 1361276 to ensure long-term supply continuity and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 2867199 is RoHS Compliant. The 1361276 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory standards. Both meet environmental restriction requirements for EU and similar markets.
