Whip Antennas
Whip Antennas for 433 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4G & 5G
Flexible rubber whip antennas for 433 MHz ISM, 2.4 GHz, 4G and 5G devices. Straight, hinged and custom form factors for IoT terminals and M2M equipment.
Application Overview
Why Whip Antennas
Whip antennas are the workhorse external antenna for compact IoT terminals, gateways, handhelds and industrial M2M devices. Their flexible rubber construction absorbs knocks and stays mounted in tight, moving installations, while the SMA or IPEX termination drops straight into most radio modules and PCB designs.
This category covers 433 MHz ISM and telemetry, 2.4 GHz short-range, and 4G/5G cellular bands. Straight, flexible and hinged variants let you match the mechanical envelope of your device, and custom lengths, colors and connectors are available for volume programs.
Key Specifications to Consider

FAQ
Whip Antenna FAQs
Common questions about form factor, connectors and integration.
Which connector should I choose for my device?
Choose SMA for screw-on radio modules and standard external ports, or IPEX for direct PCB and embedded connections. Match the connector to your radio's RF interface.
What is the difference between straight and hinged whip antennas?
Hinged whips fold to fit tight enclosures and reduce snagging in mobile applications; straight whips are simpler and lower cost. Flexible whips add impact resistance for handheld devices.
Can whip antennas be customized?
Yes. Length, color, connector and cable can be customized for volume programs. Contact us with your target quantity and mechanical constraints for a specific recommendation.
