Product details
Overview
RI-ANT-P02A-00 from Texas Instruments is a low-frequency (134.2 kHz) stick antenna designed for integration with RI-RFM-003B radio frequency modules in LF RFID systems. It delivers typically 27 µH inductance at 134.2 kHz, IP66-rated environmental protection, and operates from –30°C to +70°C. Its 140 mm × 21 mm cylindrical form factor with 1 m cable and ring lug terminals enables focused read zones in access control and asset tracking.
For engineers reviewing the RI-ANT-P02A-00 datasheet, RI-ANT-P02A-00 mounting configuration, RI-ANT-P02A-00 operating temperature range, or RI-ANT-P02A-00 equivalent, this page provides verified mechanical, electrical, and application-specific data directly extracted from TI's SCBS845 March 2002 production datasheet - including inductance value, IP rating, vibration compliance, dimensional tolerances, and terminal specifications.
Technical Context
The RI-ANT-P02A-00 is a passive ferrite-rod stick antenna optimized for bidirectional energy and signal coupling with TI's 134.2 kHz transponders. It functions as the RF interface between an RI-RFM-003B reader/writer and LF tags, generating a controlled magnetic field for excitation and demodulating tag responses.
Its glass-reinforced epoxy housing ensures mechanical robustness under Mil-Std-810E Category 1 transportation vibration, while the 27 µH inductance is tuned specifically for resonance with TI's LF transponder protocol stack - enabling reliable read performance in industrial environments without active tuning components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LF RFID antenna applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-ANT-S01C-30 | Same 27 µH inductance and IP66 rating, but with 3 m cable length and identical 140 mm × 21 mm dimensions. | Better suited for distributed reader architectures where longer cable runs separate antenna from module. | Select RI-ANT-S01C-30 when cable routing constraints require >1 m separation between RI-RFM-003B and antenna. |
| RI-ANT-G02E-30 | Gate antenna with 27 µH inductance, IP65 rating, and larger 715 mm × 270 mm × 25 mm footprint. | Provides wide-area coverage (≥1 m read distance) versus RI-ANT-P02A-00's focused zone (≤0.5 m). | Choose RI-ANT-G02E-30 for portal-style deployments requiring simultaneous multi-tag capture across vehicle-width zones. |
Compared with RI-ANT-S01C-30 and RI-ANT-G02E-30, the RI-ANT-P02A-00 offers the shortest cable (1 m) and smallest physical envelope - making it optimal for space-constrained, single-point interrogation where cable length and mounting footprint are critical design constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency of the RI-ANT-P02A-00?
The RI-ANT-P02A-00 operates at 134.2 kHz, precisely matching Texas Instruments' proprietary HDX (High Data Rate eXchange) protocol for LF RFID transponders. This frequency is fixed by the antenna's inductance and intended use with TI's RI-RFM-003B reader module - no tuning or external capacitors are required for nominal operation.
Is the RI-ANT-P02A-00 RoHS compliant?
TI's packaging documentation for RI-ANT-P02A-00 states "TBD" for Eco Plan, indicating the RoHS status was not formally defined at time of obsolescence. No lead-free or green marking appears in the SCBS845 datasheet, and the part predates mandatory RoHS enforcement. Customers should verify compliance via material declarations if required for end-market certification.
Can the RI-ANT-P02A-00 be used with non-TI reader modules?
The RI-ANT-P02A-00 is electrically characterized for use with TI's RI-RFM-003B module and optimized for 134.2 kHz HDX transponders. While its 27 µH inductance may permit operation with other 134.2 kHz readers, impedance mismatch, field shape deviation, and reduced read reliability are likely without full system validation - TI does not guarantee compatibility outside its reference design.
What does "OBSOLETE" status mean for RI-ANT-P02A-00?
Per TI's official status table, RI-ANT-P02A-00 is marked OBSOLETE, meaning TI has discontinued production. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and supports continued supply for existing designs. Lifecycle coordination and alternative sourcing guidance are available upon request for RI-ANT-P02A-00 users transitioning to active variants like RI-ANT-S01C-30.
How is the RI-ANT-P02A-00 mounted in practice?
The RI-ANT-P02A-00 is mounted using non-metallic clamps to avoid eddy current interference, as specified in TI's datasheet. Its cylindrical body fits standard 21 mm-diameter mounting brackets, and the ring lug terminals (3.5 mm ID) attach directly to reader board terminals or screw-type connectors - no additional hardware is supplied with the RI-ANT-P02A-00.
