The Taoglas FXP895 is a compact flexible PCB antenna for ISM and LoRa applications, designed to fit into small connected devices where space is tight.
Its wideband 860 to 928MHz coverage suits regional ISM/LoRa frequency bands, helping one antenna design support multiple markets. The flexible PCB format can be positioned inside an enclosure and adhered with 3M tape.
For best performance, place the antenna as far away from metal components as possible. It uses an IPEX MHFI U.FL compatible connector with 1.37mm coaxial cable for connection to suitable radio modules and boards.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LoRa
- LoRa is a long-range, low-power radio technology often used for telemetry and remote sensors. It matters here because the connector and pinout are compatible with some LoRa telemetry products, even though this module uses Bluetooth instead.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- PCB antenna
- A PCB antenna is an antenna pattern built directly into the circuit board rather than a separate metal antenna. It matters because placement, nearby metal and enclosure design can affect wireless range.
- u.FL
- u.FL is a tiny snap-on antenna connector often used on compact wireless boards. A board with u.FL usually needs an external antenna, which matters if the product will be inside an enclosure or needs better antenna placement.
