SA0408 UHF RFID Antenna 868 MHz SMA

Dedicated UHF RFID antenna SA0408 868

The dedicated UHF RFID antenna SA0408 868 is an extremely compact antenna designed for RFID applications where limited space and reliable performance come together. Despite its small size, this antenna delivers stable UHF RFID reading performance and is suitable for fixed installations in industrial, logistics and engineering environments. Designed for use with fixed RFID readers such as the Brady FR22 and Nordic ID Sampo series, the SA0408 is an efficient solution for integrations where conventional antennas are too large.

Compact design with professional performance

The SA0408 is distinguished by its very compact dimensions, allowing the antenna to be easily integrated into machines, housings, frames and mobile installations. This makes the antenna particularly suitable for applications where space is at a premium but reliable RFID detection is required. The compact design does not compromise performance and provides a good balance between size and read reliability.

Reliable performance on all surfaces

A key advantage of the SA0408 is that this antenna can be directly mounted on virtually any surface, including metal. Thanks to its unique antenna design, UHF RFID reading performance remains stable even when the antenna is placed on metal structures. This makes the SA0408 well suited for industrial environments where metal machinery, racks and enclosures are the standard.

Wide beam angle for flexible detection

The SA0408 features a wide beam angle of 120 degrees in the horizontal direction and 150 degrees in the vertical direction. This creates a flexible read field suitable for reliable detection of RFID tags within short to medium distances. This feature makes the antenna ideal for applications where tags are close to the antenna or need to be read from multiple directions.

Easy integration with fixed RFID readers.

The antenna features an SMA female connector and easily connects to a variety of fixed RFID readers, including the Brady FR22, FR22 Lite and Nordic ID Sampo S1 and Sampo S3. The SA0408 supports both the ETSI frequency range of 865-868 MHz and the FCC range of 902-928 MHz, making it globally deployable within various RFID projects.

Robust and suitable for professional applications

Designed for professional use, the SA0408 features an IP65 rating, which protects the antenna from dust and water. The antenna functions reliably within a wide temperature range and is suitable for long-term deployment in demanding environments. Typical applications include property tracking, integrated RFID solutions in machines and compact identification systems. With its combination of small size, mounting flexibility and reliable performance, the SA0408 is an excellent choice for space-critical RFID applications.
