The part number **OA2AE2718-R100** typically refers to a specialized high-performance **Antenna Component** or an **Optical/Acoustical component** depending on the specific manufacturer (commonly associated with high-frequency RF applications or precision sensors). Below is a breakdown of the typical electronic characteristics and technical specifications associated with this type of part. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications While exact specifications can vary by manufacturer, parts in this series generally follow these parameters: | Property | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | RF Antenna / Surface Mount Device (SMD) | | **Frequency Range** | Typically tuned for Sub-GHz or GHz bands (e.g., 2.4GHz / 5GHz) | | **Impedance** | 50 Ohms (Standard) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) | | **Packaging** | Tape & Reel (indicated by the "R100" suffix) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C | ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric code often provides clues about the part's physical and electrical properties: * **OA:** Often designates the product category (e.g., Omni-directional Antenna or Optical Array). * **2AE:** Likely refers to the series generation or the specific material composition. * **2718:** Typically represents the **physical dimensions**. In electronics, this usually means the part is **2.7mm x 1.8mm**. * **R100:** Indicates the packaging quantity or resistance value. In most logistics contexts, this means a reel of **1,000 pieces** or a resistance of **100 Ohms** if it were a resistor (though the 2718 size strongly suggests an antenna or filter). ### 3. Common Applications These parts are designed for compact electronic devices where space is a premium. 1. **IoT Devices:** Used in smart home sensors and wearables for wireless connectivity. 2. **Mobile Communication:** Integrated into PCB designs for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee signal transmission. 3. **Consumer Electronics:** Found in tablets and laptops as part of the internal wireless module. --- ### 4.
