WH-5G-GNSS-P3X5 Screw Extension Solution
for 30 mm Thick Installation Surfaces
The WH-5G-GNSS-P3X5 5G + GNSS combination antenna is designed with an M12 mounting thread, but the
standard threaded section is only 14 mm long. When the antenna needs to
be installed through a mounting surface that is approximately 30 mm thick,
the original M12 thread is not long enough to pass completely through the
panel. This installation condition requires a customized mechanical solution.
The picture demonstrates a practical thread
extension solution. First, the antenna's original M12 thread is
identified. The installation surface is measured at approximately 30 mm
thickness, confirming that the standard 14 mm threaded section cannot
provide sufficient engagement from the opposite side.
To solve this problem, a 40 mm-long M20
threaded extension sleeve is prepared. The extension component provides
additional mounting length so that the antenna can be securely installed
through the thick surface. An appropriate nut and retaining hardware can then
be used on the opposite side to hold the assembly firmly in position.
The installation process is
straightforward: the M20 × 40 mm threaded extension passes through the
30 mm-thick mounting surface, while the internal connection accommodates the
antenna's M12 mounting thread. The final assembly allows the
WH-5G-GNSS-P3X5 antenna to be mounted securely without changing the antenna housing.
This solution is particularly useful for industrial
equipment, electrical cabinets, control panels, machinery enclosures, vehicle
structures, outdoor equipment, and other applications with thick mounting
surfaces. It demonstrates how a customized threaded adapter can overcome
limited antenna mounting-thread length and provide a practical solution for
special installation requirements.
Key solution: M12 antenna thread → customized M20 thread adapter → 40 mm
mounting length → installation through approximately 30 mm thick surface.
