DroidBox External Antenna Repair - Replace / Repair Broken Collar / Sleeve / Grommet

[DroidBox User]

For DroidBox models that have an fixed external antenna. Like for example:

• T8
• T8-S
• T8-S Plus
• T8-Mini

Where can a replacement antenna be obtained from?. Note these do not use removable SMA connection. Attached is a phono of the type of antenna they use. Note is used a snap-in collar/sleeve/grommet to keep it secured into the device. See photo below:

More precisely where just the snap in collar/sleeve/grommet be obtained from?, See circled section in photo below. The whole on the DroidBox device for is a hexagonal shape, The inner part of the collar/sleeve/grommet is also hexagonal shape to fit the hole, but the outside is circular shaped to stop it entering the hole when enough has entered. The hexagonal part has 2 flaps above and below that are raised and once collar/sleeve/grommet is inserted they firmly prevent the collar/sleeve/grommet from sliding out.

If you need a replacement please email [email protected] with what model of device you have. We will see if you have any still available. As a note, I believe they are supplied with the top half of the case as they can be a bit of a pain to remove just the aerial. So all you would need to do is solder the aerial wire to the PCB.
