Molex ISM Standalone Antennas

Molex ISM Standalone Antennas are built on proprietary MobliquA™ technology, which provides a significant antenna volume reduction of up to 75% compared with conventional designs. Molex ISM Standalone Antennas feature dual-band operation at 868MHz and 915MHz, and balanced, ground-plane independence. The minimum total radiation efficiency is 50% and 67% (respectively) for the 868MHz and 915MHz bands. Poly-flexible, double-sided adhesive tape makes for easy peel-and-stick mounting. Several miniature coax cable length options (100mm, 150mm, and 200mm) are available. Ideal applications include industrial, medical, automotive, and building automation.

Molex 204287 ISM Antenna combines high RF performance with ease of integration over 433MHz, 868MHz, and 915MHz bands for advanced industrial, scientific, and medical devices. This antenna features double-sided adhesive for instant application anywhere within the device casing. Six micro-coaxial cable length options (50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm) extend connectivity for maximum design flexibility. A UFL-type connector secures the antenna to the application's device radio.
