GPS Active Antenna with Magnet Mount
This antenna provides GPS signal reception for navigation and tracking devices using an AVIC connector. It targets installers who need a compact, weather-proof solution for vehicles, vending machines or remote meter housings. The magnetic base allows quick placement on any ferrous surface without drilling.
Thermals noise and power draw
The unit operates from a 2.2 to 5 volt DC supply and draws between 5 and 15 milliamps during normal use. Its low-noise amplifier adds 28 dB of gain while maintaining a noise figure that keeps the signal clean across the operating range. The IP66 rating ensures the electronics stay sealed against dust and heavy water jets from minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius.
Build integration
A five metre RG174 cable terminates in an AVIC plug so the antenna reaches roof-mounted positions from interior equipment bays. The 25 by 25 by 4 millimetre radome fits tight spaces on vehicle roofs or enclosure lids. The magnet mount holds securely yet releases cleanly when the antenna must be moved or serviced.

Questions about this item
How do I install the magnet-mount GPS antenna and what step is often missed?
Place the ABS radome on a clean, flat ferrous surface so the magnet holds securely; the step often missed is routing the 5 m RG174 cable away from sharp edges and heat sources before connecting the AVIC plug to the GPS receiver.
What maintenance or replacement will the antenna need over time?
Inspect the RG174 cable jacket and AVIC connector periodically for wear or corrosion; the IP66 seal and ROHS-compliant ABS radome are maintenance-free, but a damaged cable or connector should be replaced to keep the 28 dB LNA gain and 2 dBic zenith performance.
What limit appears first during continuous outdoor operation?
The operating temperature ceiling of +85 °C is the first hard limit; sustained exposure above that can degrade the LNA (2.2–5 V DC, 5–15 mA) and shift the 1575.42 ±1 MHz centre frequency beyond the CF±5 MHz bandwidth.
