Mouser now stocks off-the-shelf LTE and 5G antennas from Molex. Created for fast and easy integration into 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G modules and devices, the hinged antennas deliver excellent coverage and reliability with high efficiency and peak gain.

The LTE and 5G antennas give a multiprotocol solution that supports GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, 5G NR, and other cellular bands. They provide design flexibility with 5G and LTE antennas offered with SMA-J or RP-SMA-J connectors, plug or receptacle termination, and black or white finish. The antennas measure 171.5mm x 19.4mm (straight) or 151mm x 19.4mm (when folded) and offer a maximum gain of 5.5dBi (5G) or 3.5dBi (LTE).

The antennas are excellent for connected home applications, including security and surveillance, home automation, entertainment devices, and utilities, as well as IoT, telecommunications, and networking designs.
