915 MHz spring antenna for LoRa prototyping
This compact spring antenna is designed for 915 MHz ISM-band projects using Adafruit RFM and LoRa breakouts, bonnets or Feather boards. Its 50 Ohm impedance and 2.15 dBi gain suit typical 850–950 MHz wireless modules. The copper-clad wire construction makes it straightforward to solder onto prototype boards or custom PCBs.
Passive component with no thermal or power
As a purely passive radiating element the antenna generates no heat, draws no current and produces no audible noise. It adds negligible load to the RF front-end of the connected module. Normal operation therefore imposes no thermal management or power-budget constraints on the host board.
Copper-clad wire simplifies integration
The supplied copper-clad wire allows direct soldering without additional connectors or adapters. At 17.5 mm (0.68 in) long the antenna fits into space-constrained enclosures and keeps the overall prototype footprint small. No extra mounting hardware, cables or configuration software are included or required.

أسئلة حول هذا المنتج
How do I solder this 17.5mm 915MHz spring antenna to a Feather or breakout board?
Tin the copper-clad wire end, heat the antenna pad on the board, then flow solder while holding the spring vertical; the short 0.68" length leaves little room for repositioning once the joint sets.
Will the copper-clad wire need replacement or re-tinning after extended outdoor use?
Copper oxidises over time; if the antenna is exposed to weather, plan to re-tin or replace the wire when the surface dulls or green patina appears, otherwise the 50 Ohm match degrades.
At what transmit power does the 2.15dBi gain start to roll off during continuous operation?
The bare copper wire has no heatsink, so sustained output above a few hundred milliwatts warms the spring, shifting its resonance and reducing effective gain in the 850–950MHz band.
