Seeed Wio-E5 Development Board v1.0 (HF): antenna connection reference
Start with the exact board and revision. A similar product name does not establish the connector, regional radio variant or antenna path.
Documented antenna ports
| Port | Connector evidence |
|---|---|
| LoRa SMA-K | SMA female socket |
| LoRa IPEX | I-PEX (series not specified) |
Use the port intended for LoRa. The presence of a Wi-Fi antenna or a visually similar miniature connector does not make it a supported LoRa path.
Frequency scope
868 / 915 MHz documented; other exact frequencies unverified. MeshMatch evaluates the selected operating frequency separately from mechanical connector mating. A matching connector can still lead to an unsuitable antenna.
The documented nominal frequencies are not a measured bandwidth. Frequencies outside the explicitly listed nominal values return unknown until a supported band range is sourced.
Before ordering an antenna
- Confirm the label or revision marking on your board matches this reference.
- Identify the LoRa antenna port and whether an adapter is needed.
- Check both ends of every cable, including the centre contact and miniature connector series.
- Check the intended channel against the documented radio and antenna coverage.
- Review enclosure clearance, mechanical strain and local operating requirements separately.
For an I-PEX connection, an unspecified series remains unknown. This reference does not infer cross-brand compatibility from the word IPEX. It also does not establish cable loss, RF performance, range, firmware support or legal operation.
