Datasheet ANT-433-FPC-UFL-100 Flexible Embedded 433 MHz Antenna The Linx 433-FPC antenna is a flexible embedded 433 MHz antenna for Sub-1 GHz and low- power, wide-area (LPWA) applications including LoRaWAN and remote control applications. The 433-FPC also performs well in LTE cellular bands 87 and 88 at 410 MHz and 450 MHz, respectively. The 433-FPC provides a ground plane independent dipole embedded antenna solution comparable in performance to an external antenna. The flexibility and adhesive backing makes the 433-FPC antenna easy to mount in unique and custom enclosures, while enabling an environmentally sealed enclosure and protection from tampering or accidental antenna damage. Connection is made to the radio via a 100 mm (3.94 in) long, 1.13 mm coaxial cable terminated in a U.FL-type plug (female socket).

ANT-433-FPC-UFL-100 Dimensions Antenna Mounting The ANT-433-FPC-UFL-100 is a flexible, adhesive backed antenna that allows it to be permanently installed onto non-metallic surfaces. The adhesive backing is 3M 467MP/200MP, which provides outstanding adhesion to high surface energy plastics. The adhesive delivers excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting, but can be repositioned temporarily to allow for repositioning. This adhesive is highly resistant to solvents, humidity and moisture, as well as heat up to 204 C (400 F) for short periods. The antenna should never be bent to the point of creating a crease or allowing the angle of the bend to fall below 90 degrees (i.e. become acute) as this will impair function and may cause permanent damage.
