WiFi-Ready MID Chip & Ceramic SMT Antennas

Molex WiFi®-Ready MID Chip and Ceramic SMT Antennas are small, on-ground MID (Molded Interconnect Device) antennas with the power and precision of Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology. Measuring as small as 3mm x 3mm x 4mm and mated on one side of the PCB, the antennas enable designers to realize significant PCB real estate savings by leaving the ground layers in the PCB intact while freeing up space on the reverse side for other component assemblies. Featuring an omni-directional radiation pattern, these monopole antennas require simple stripline matching on the PCB without the need for discrete components.

2.4GHz / 5GHz MID Chip Antenna

Molex 146175 series Molded Interconnect Device (MID) Chip Antenna requires no ground-place clearance and features a frequency of 2.4GHz / 5GHz. This Wi-Fi®-ready Molex MID chip antenna enables wireless device makers to achieve cost-effective designs with higher levels of product integration and fewer components. The gold over nickel traces on the Molex 146175 MID antenna act as transducers that convert unguided electromagnetic waves to guided electromagnetic waves and vice versa. The Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) formed circuitry yields high, consistent RF performance. And the MID housing withstands high reflow temperatures during assembly processing.

Connected Home Solutions

Molex Connected Home Solutions help users design intelligent and integrated smart home systems. Smart appliances and thermostats, networked security and lighting, and wireless media devices feature prominently in connected homes.
