Product details
Overview
TRPGR30TGC from Texas Instruments is a ruggedized low-frequency (134.2 kHz) RFID gate antenna designed for industrial LF transponder interrogation in harsh environments. It delivers 27 µH inductance, IP65 ingress protection, and operates from –25°C to +85°C with a 1-m coaxial cable and spade/tongue terminals. It enables reliable read zones in vehicle identification and container tracking systems.
For engineers reviewing the TRPGR30TGC datasheet, TRPGR30TGC pinout, TRPGR30TGC application, or TRPGR30TGC equivalent, key selection factors include its 134.2-kHz resonant frequency, IP65-rated polystyrol housing, 715 × 270 × 25 mm form factor, and compatibility with TI HDX transponder readers for high-reliability access control deployments.
Technical Context
The TRPGR30TGC is part of TI's Series 2000 antenna family optimized for HDX (High Data Rate eXchange) protocol communication with 134.2-kHz passive transponders. It functions as a tuned LC resonator-27 µH inductance matched to external capacitive tuning-to maximize magnetic field coupling efficiency at the designated LF frequency.
Its UV-stabilized high-impact polystyrol (UVSHIPS) enclosure and Mil-Std-810E vibration compliance support deployment in uncontrolled outdoor or industrial settings. Unlike stick antennas, the TRPGR30TGC generates a wide, uniform read zone suitable for portal-style scanning of moving assets without requiring precise tag orientation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 134.2 kHz - precisely tuned for TI HDX transponder communication and regulatory compliance in LF RFID systems. |
| Inductance (typ.) | 27 µH - defines resonant behavior with external capacitor; enables optimal magnetic field strength at target frequency. |

| Terminal Type | Spade and tongue, 3.5-mm stud hole - robust mechanical connection compatible with standard nonmetallic clamps and mounting hardware. |
Pinout & Package
TRPGR30TGC is a passive RF antenna module with no active IC pins. Its electrical interface consists of two insulated terminals: one spade lug and one tongue terminal, both rated for secure mechanical fastening via 3.5-mm-diameter stud. The housing is molded UVSHIPS (UV-Stabilized High Impact Polystyrol), measuring 715 × 270 × 25 mm and weighing 745 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Spade Lug | RF Return / Ground Reference | Provides low-inductance, mechanically stable connection point for RF return path; requires nonmetallic clamp to avoid eddy current losses. |
| Tongue Terminal | RF Feed / Signal Input | Primary connection point for coaxial cable center conductor; maintains controlled impedance feed into resonant loop structure. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented HDX Technology Integration | Optimized magnetic field profile for TI's HDX transponder protocol-enables >99% read reliability under motion and misalignment conditions. |
| IP65-Rated Enclosure | Sealed polystyrol housing prevents dust ingress and withstands directed water jets-eliminates need for external weatherproof enclosures in outdoor gate installations. |
| Industrial Vibration Resistance | Complies with MIL-STD-810E Category 1 transportation testing-ensures mechanical integrity during shipping and long-term operation on vibrating infrastructure. |
| Gate-Form Factor Geometry | 715-mm horizontal aperture establishes wide, vertically oriented read zone-ideal for full-vehicle interrogation without height adjustment or multiple antennas. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LF RFID gate antenna applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-ANT-G01E | Identical 27 µH inductance, IP65 rating, and 715 × 270 × 25 mm dimensions; same UVSHIPS material and 1-m cable; operating temp –30°C to +60°C (15°C narrower range). | Valid for legacy TI reader designs certified with SCBS845A; lacks TRPGR30TGC's extended +85°C upper limit. | Select RI-ANT-G01E only if operating ambient stays below +60°C and documentation traceability to original TI spec is required. |
| TRPGP40TGC | Same RFIDT package type and TGC marking; identical 1-m cable and spade/tongue terminals; operating temp –25°C to +70°C (15°C lower max than TRPGR30TGC). | Documented as ACTIVE with TBD eco-plan; shares mechanical footprint but has reduced thermal margin for high-ambient deployments. | Choose TRPGP40TGC only when +70°C maximum ambient suffices and RoHS status is not yet finalized for the design. |
Compared with RI-ANT-G01E and TRPGP40TGC, TRPGR30TGC offers the widest operational temperature range (–25°C to +85°C) among TI's gate antennas, making it the sole option qualified for high-heat industrial gateways, desert deployments, or proximity to engine bays-without compromising IP65 sealing or 27 µH resonant stability.

FAQ
What is the resonant frequency of the TRPGR30TGC antenna?
The TRPGR30TGC is tuned to resonate at 134.2 kHz-the standardized low-frequency band for HDX protocol communication with passive transponders. Its 27 µH inductance is matched to external capacitive tuning components to achieve this precise resonance, ensuring maximum magnetic field coupling efficiency and regulatory compliance in global LF RFID systems.
Does TRPGR30TGC require an external tuning capacitor?
Yes, the TRPGR30TGC is a passive resonant antenna and requires an external capacitor to complete the LC tank circuit at 134.2 kHz. The value is determined by the reader/writer's output impedance and matching network design; typical values range from 220 pF to 470 pF depending on cable length and reader model. TI's reference designs specify exact capacitor values for compatible readers.
What mounting hardware is included with TRPGR30TGC?
No mounting hardware is supplied with TRPGR30TGC. It features six predrilled 6.5-mm mounting holes aligned for nonmetallic clamps, standard screws, and washers. TI specifies use of nonmetallic fasteners to prevent eddy current losses and magnetic field distortion-metallic mounts degrade read performance and are explicitly prohibited in the datasheet.
Is TRPGR30TGC compatible with non-TI RFID readers?
TRPGR30TGC is electrically compatible with any 134.2-kHz LF reader capable of driving a 27 µH inductive load, but optimal performance requires alignment with TI's HDX protocol timing and field strength specifications. Third-party readers may require custom tuning or firmware adaptation to match the antenna's impedance profile and achieve full read-range capability.
What is the cable specification for TRPGR30TGC?
The TRPGR30TGC integrates a fixed 1-meter coaxial cable terminated with spade and tongue terminals. The cable is impedance-matched to minimize signal loss between reader and antenna; its length is optimized for minimal standing-wave effects at 134.2 kHz. Extending or shortening the cable invalidates tuning and degrades magnetic field uniformity per TI's application guidance.
