ANCF2-50HRA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ANCF2-50HRA is a dual-band RF antenna manufactured by Multi-Tech Systems Inc., designed for 850MHz and 1.9GHz applications. This component features a 4-inch whip tilt configuration with 3dBi gain and connector mount termination. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for system maintenance, repair, and legacy device support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ANCF2-50HRA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Frequency Coverage: The substitute must support both 850MHz and 1.9GHz bands
• Antenna Configuration: Whip and tilt antenna types are required
• Connector Type: The termination must be compatible with the original connector mount interface
• Mounting Method: Connector mount configuration must be maintained
• Physical Form Factor: Height and overall dimensions should remain within acceptable system integration limits
• Gain Characteristics: Antenna gain should be comparable to support equivalent RF performance

The DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains the essential frequency bands (850MHz, 1.9GHz), whip tilt antenna type, connector mount configuration, and comparable physical dimensions. While this substitute supports additional frequency bands (900MHz, 1.8GHz) and uses SMA Male termination, these characteristics do not prevent functional equivalence in applications designed for the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 is an active product with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring the ANCF2-50HRA. The substitute maintains the required dual-band frequency coverage at 850MHz and 1.9GHz with compatible whip tilt antenna configuration and connector mount interface.

Physical dimensions show a 0.331-inch height increase (110.00mm versus 101.60mm), which must be evaluated against specific system integration constraints. The SMA Male termination requires connector compatibility verification with the original application interface.

The gain differential (2dBi versus 3dBi) represents a 1dBi reduction in antenna performance. This parameter must be assessed against link budget requirements in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 directly replace the ANCF2-50HRA?

A: Functional replacement is possible when the SMA Male connector is compatible with the application interface and the 1dBi gain reduction does not exceed link budget margins. The additional frequency bands (900MHz, 1.8GHz) do not prevent operation in 850MHz/1.9GHz applications.

Q: What is the significance of the gain difference between these parts?

A: The ANCF2-50HRA provides 3dBi gain while the DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 provides 2dBi gain. This 1dBi difference affects RF link performance and must be evaluated within the specific application's power budget and coverage requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: The DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 is 0.331 inches taller (110.00mm versus 101.60mm). System integration must accommodate this height increase, particularly in space-constrained applications.

Q: What connector type does the substitute use?

A: The DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 uses SMA Male termination. The original ANCF2-50HRA uses a generic connector mount. Mechanical and electrical compatibility must be verified for the specific application interface.

Q: Is the substitute compliant with current regulations?

A: The DELTA7B/X/SMAM/S/S/11 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system support.
