Key Advantages
Symmetrical radiator design offers
significant design flexibility by allowing
reversed lateral placement on the PCB
without affecting radiation pattern or
performance
Small clearance zone; high RF performance;
dual-band; halogen-free
Laser Direct Structuring (LDS)-formed
circuitry yields high, consistent RF
performance, leveraging the excellent laser
structuring precision, speed, accuracy and
repeatability of LDS technology
Miniature in size but big in RF
performance
Environmentally sustainable halogen-
free LDS-MID housing withstands high
reflow temperatures during assembly
processing
Miniature and identical in size with
series 47948
Cost-economical
