GME CA202 Heavy Duty Electro-Polished Stainless Steel Antenna Spring for 5/16 Inch UHF Whips Over 1 Metre
The GME CA202 is a genuine heavy duty antenna spring made from electro-polished stainless steel, designed for 5/16-inch antenna whips over 1 metre tall. It helps absorb impacts, vibration, and movement during off-road driving and rough road use, reducing stress on the antenna and mounting hardware. Suited to 4WDs, touring vehicles, work utes, and commercial vehicles in demanding Australian conditions.
Product overview
Taller antenna whips generate greater leverage at the mounting point when subjected to vibration, impacts, and movement. A heavy duty spring between the whip and the mounting base absorbs this stress, protecting both the antenna and the mounting hardware from fatigue and damage over time. The CA202 is specifically designed for 5/16-inch whips over 1 metre in height where this additional support is most needed.
Electro-polished stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in outdoor and harsh environments including salt air, dust, and mud exposure. For shorter antenna whips, the GME CA201 medium duty spring is the more appropriate choice.
