Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ANT-2.4-PW-LP is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• Frequency coverage: Must support 2.4GHz band operation (2.35GHz ~ 2.6GHz minimum)
• Antenna type: Whip or straight configuration
• RF standards compatibility: Support for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee™
• Product status: Active status required
• Compliance: RoHS and REACH status alignment

Secondary Considerations:

• Termination type: Screw-mount preferred; connector-mount alternatives acceptable with mechanical adapter compatibility
• Mounting interface: Panel mount or connector mount configurations
• Gain and VSWR: Performance parameters within acceptable operating range for 2.4GHz ISM band applications
• Physical dimensions: Height and form factor suitable for end-application space constraints

The substitute parts listed below meet the primary substitution parameters for 2.4GHz operation and maintain Active product status with equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GW.11.A153W (Taoglas Limited) is the primary substitute for ANT-2.4-PW-LP applications requiring 2.4GHz operation. This part maintains Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The GW.11.A153W supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee™ standards with improved VSWR (1.0 vs. 1.9) and higher gain (2.3dBi vs. -1.9dBi). The primary design difference is termination type: RP-SMA Male connector mount versus screw-mount panel mount. Mechanical adapter solutions are available for integration into existing screw-mount installations.

TG.22.0151 (Taoglas Limited) is a secondary substitute suitable only for applications where multi-band cellular coverage is required alongside 2.4GHz operation. This part is optimized for CDMA, DCS, EDGE, GSM, GPRS, HSPA, PCS, UMTS, and WCDMA standards. The TG.22.0151 does not provide primary optimization for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi applications and exhibits higher VSWR (4.6) compared to the ANT-2.4-PW-LP. Selection of this part requires confirmation that multi-band cellular functionality is necessary for the end application.

Both substitute parts maintain Active product status and REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance equivalent to the ANT-2.4-PW-LP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GW.11.A153W directly replace ANT-2.4-PW-LP in existing designs?

A: GW.11.A153W provides electrical substitution for 2.4GHz Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee™ applications. However, the termination interface differs: ANT-2.4-PW-LP uses screw-mount panel attachment, while GW.11.A153W uses RP-SMA Male connector mount. Mechanical adapter solutions or PCB redesign may be required for direct physical replacement.

Q: What is the primary difference in antenna performance between ANT-2.4-PW-LP and GW.11.A153W?

A: GW.11.A153W provides superior impedance matching (VSWR 1.0 vs. 1.9) and higher gain (2.3dBi vs. -1.9dBi) at 2.4GHz. Both antennas operate across the 2.4GHz band and support identical RF standards. The performance improvement in GW.11.A153W may reduce system noise figure and improve link budget in power-constrained applications.

Q: Is TG.22.0151 suitable for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth applications?

A: TG.22.0151 is optimized for cellular standards (GSM, CDMA, UMTS, WCDMA) and does not provide primary design optimization for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. While the antenna covers frequency bands that include 2.4GHz operation, its multi-band cellular design results in higher VSWR (4.6) and is not recommended as a primary substitute for dedicated 2.4GHz ISM band applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to substitute parts?

A: Both GW.11.A153W and TG.22.0151 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the ANT-2.4-PW-LP (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected). All three parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8517.71.0000 HTSUS code.

Q: How do packaging differences affect part selection?

A: ANT-2.4-PW-LP is supplied in Tray packaging, while both substitute parts (GW.11.A153W and TG.22.0151) are supplied in Bag packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is determined by supplier inventory and procurement requirements.

Q: What is the height difference between ANT-2.4-PW-LP and substitute parts?

A: ANT-2.4-PW-LP height is 1.988" (50.50mm). GW.11.A153W is taller at 3.323" (84.40mm), while TG.22.0151 is comparable at 1.929" (49.00mm). Physical height constraints in end-application enclosures may limit substitute part selection.
