ORDERING INFORMATION: Method I- by 12NC Ordering Code
The antennas may be ordered by using the 12 NC ordering code. These code numbers can be
determined by the following rules:
4311 1 27 00 500
F C M S T A
F. Family Code
43 = Antenna
C. Packing Type Code
11 = 180 mm/ 7" blister (2000pcs) , 13 = Bulk
M. Materials Code
1 = High Frequency Material
S. Size Code
27 = 2.7 * 3.5 * 0.9 mm
T. Tolerance
00 = larger than 100 M Hz Band Width
A. Working Frequency (three types of antenna are available)
500 = 5 GHz
Example: 12NC 4311 127 00500
Product description: Antenna (43) by 180 mm blister (11) of High
