Description
The RP-SMA Male Crimp Connector is a specialized RF component designed to meet regulatory standards for consumer wireless equipment. In a Reverse Polarity configuration, the “Male” connector (Plug) features internal threads but contains a female center socket instead of a pin. This design is widely used in the Wi-Fi industry to prevent the connection of unauthorized high-gain antennas to standard consumer devices.
This connector is highly versatile, supporting a variety of mid-sized flexible coaxial cables. It utilizes a hex-crimp termination method for the outer ferrule, which creates a permanent, 360-degree mechanical bond. This results in high pull-strength and consistent electrical grounding. Constructed with a gold-plated brass body and PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains signal integrity and low VSWR across frequencies up to 6 GHz, making it ideal for dual-band Wi-Fi and IoT applications.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Industry-Standard Wi-Fi Interface: The primary connector type used for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee antenna connections.
-
Broad Cable Compatibility: A single connector design that accommodates multiple cable types like LMR200 and RG58, simplifying assembly.
-
High-Strength Crimp Bond: The hex-crimp ferrule provides a vibration-proof attachment superior to twist-on or solder-only outer terminations.
-
Effective RF Shielding: The 360-degree ferrule crimp ensures a continuous ground path, offering excellent EMI/RFI protection.
-
Gold-Plated Conductivity: High-purity gold plating on the center socket and body ensures low contact resistance and long-term corrosion resistance.
Key Features
-
Reverse Polarity Configuration: Features a male-threaded body with a female-style center socket (Plug with Socket).
-
Premium PTFE Dielectric: Ensures high thermal stability during assembly and low signal attenuation.
-
Standard 1/4-36 Thread: Fully compatible with all standard RP-SMA Female (Jack) connectors and pigtails.
-
3-Piece Assembly: Consists of the main connector body, the center contact socket, and the outer crimp ferrule for efficient installation.
-
Mechanical Reliability: Designed to withstand at least 500 mating cycles while maintaining stable electrical performance.
