Molex unveils Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas for automotive, IoT, IIoT, wireless apps | IoT Now News & Reports

Mouser Electronics, Inc., has announced Molex’s Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas. Engineered for advanced commercial vehicles and wireless applications, the Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas combine LTE (long-term evolution)/5G full-band cellular, Wi-Fi and GNSS (global navigation satellite system) functionalities into a single compact solution while providing performance and design flexibility.

The Molex Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas, available from Mouser Electronics, are low-profile antennas with built-in cellular (LTE and 5G) MIMO 2, Wi-Fi (tri-band) 2, and GNSS features, making them a solutions for diverse and advanced applications. The cellular 5G frequency on these antennas ranges from 698 MHz to 960 MHz and 1,710 MHz to 5 GHz, while the Wi-Fi frequency comprises 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. The GNSS frequency range is 1,561 MHz to 1,602 MHz RF. Power for the antennas is specified at 2 W.

Constructed of high-quality plastic material and mated with SMA (SubMiniature version A) straight female cable plugs that facilitate adjustable cable lengths and are adaptable to FAKRA and HFM (high frequency modular) connectors, the enhanced design of the Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas is offered in two mounting styles for maximum flexibility. The 220573-1000 antenna has a bolt-nut for use on a vehicle top or roof cabinet, while the 219264-0001 has adhesive on the backside for mounting on any surface type. All Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas are ROHS (restriction of hazardous substances) compliant and have an IP67 protection rating, making them waterproof and protecting them against contact with objects greater than 1 mm in diameter.

The Molex Sunshade 5-in-1 antennas are available through Mouser Electronics and measure a compact 95 mm x 95 mm x 38 mm in size. The antennas offer performance on metal and non-metal surfaces and have an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Target applications include commercial vehicles (i.e., networking, smart vehicles, telematics boxes and skilled vehicles), wireless infrastructure (IoT, advanced IIoT and IT) and telecommunications.
