Mounting Guidelines Model M2450DLCB antennas can be easily mounted to the plastic base in a product enclosure. This simplifies ID design and shortens product cycle. 7.1. Mounting to Case Bottom with double sided tape Use a piece of 1.6 mm thick double sided tape placed underneath the lowest horizontal antenna feature, as shown in Figure 7a, 7b and 7c. A space of 10 mm is recommended between the PCB edge near the M2450DLCB and the mounting location to minimize bending stress on the RF cable (Figure 7a). Case Top Considerations for a Case bottom mounted Model M2450DLCB Figure 7a Figure 7b A side view illustration of bottom mounted Model M2450DLCB with double sided adhesive tape Proprietary and Confidential Patent Protected Airgain, Inc.

Mounting to Case Side Wall with double sided tape The model M2450DLCB-T is provided 1.6mm double sided tape with a protective covering, pre-applied to the element top surface; as shown in Figure 5b. It is intended for applications where mounting to the case side wall is preferred. The mounting constraints are the same as detailed in Section 7.1. Case side wall mounting illustrations are shown in Figure 7d and Figure 7e below.
