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 antennahousing.
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.
