Product Overview
The TX2400-PCB-5010 is a 2.4 GHz omnidirectional PCB built-in antenna engineered for ultra-thin internal integration. At just 50 × 10 × 0.5 mm, it is one of the slimmest PCB antennas in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, delivering a 2.0 dBi peak gain and a measured VSWR consistently ≤ 1.5 across the 2400–2500 MHz range. The IPEX-1 (IPX-I, U.FL compatible) connector with 150 mm feeder cable ensures broad compatibility with WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and 2.4 GHz proprietary wireless modules. Suited for terminal devices, industrial IoT nodes, and smart home products where board thickness is a critical constraint. Updated March 2026.

Product Details
Ultra-Thin 50 × 10 × 0.5 mm PCB for Thickness-Critical Designs
At 0.5 mm thick, the TX2400-PCB-5010 is designed for devices where vertical clearance inside the enclosure is severely limited — such as card-form-factor IoT modules, slim handheld terminals, and wearable-adjacent devices. The straight-line PCB geometry maintains a consistent 50 Ω impedance profile across the 2.4 GHz band, achieving 2.0 dBi gain without requiring additional matching components.

IPEX-1 (U.FL) Connector with 150 mm Low-Loss Feeder Cable
The standard IPEX-1 / IPX-I connector is directly compatible with U.FL sockets on ESP32, ESP8266, nRF52840, CC2652, MT7628, and similar 2.4 GHz SoCs. The 150 mm feeder cable provides sufficient routing length to position the antenna away from RF-noisy components such as switching regulators, USB controllers, or dense digital circuitry, helping preserve the specified VSWR ≤ 1.5 in real-world installations.
Professional Test Report
Measured VSWR: consistently ≤ 1.5 across the full 2400–2500 MHz band, verified with professional RF test equipment prior to shipment. All units undergo individual testing to ensure compliance with published specifications.

Q: Is the TX2400-PCB-5010 compatible with ESP32, nRF52, and other 2.4 GHz modules?
A: Yes. The TX2400-PCB-5010 uses a standard IPEX-1 / IPX-I (U.FL) connector with 50 Ω impedance, directly compatible with the antenna ports on ESP32, ESP8266, nRF52840, CC2652, MT7628, and most other 2.4 GHz SoCs. No external matching network is required. Confirm your module's RF port supports the 2400–2500 MHz band before connecting.
Q: Does installation position affect antenna performance?
A: Yes, significantly. Metal objects within 5 mm of the PCB radiator will detune the antenna and increase VSWR beyond the specified ≤ 1.5, reducing effective radiated power. Mount the TX2400-PCB-5010 inside a plastic (ABS, PC, or similar non-metallic) enclosure, away from ground planes, battery packs, and switching power supplies. Maintain at least 5 mm clearance on all sides of the radiating element.
Q: What is the operating temperature range and environmental durability?
A: The TX2400-PCB-5010 PCB substrate supports an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, suitable for both indoor consumer electronics and outdoor industrial enclosures. The antenna is not independently IP-rated; environmental sealing must be provided by the host device enclosure. For outdoor or harsh-environment deployments, ensure the enclosure meets at least IP54 or higher.
Q: How does the TX2400-PCB-5010 (2.0 dBi, 0.5 mm thick) compare to the TX2400-PCB-4811 (3.0 dBi, standard PCB)?
A: The TX2400-PCB-5010 trades 1.0 dBi of gain for a significantly thinner 0.5 mm PCB profile, making it the preferred choice when enclosure height is the primary constraint. The TX2400-PCB-4811's "7" shape geometry achieves higher gain within a slightly larger 48 × 11 mm footprint. Choose the 5010 for ultra-slim designs; choose the 4811 when gain performance takes priority over thickness.
