Description
The RP-SMA Female Crimp Connector is a specialized RF component designed to meet specific regulatory standards for consumer wireless equipment. Unlike a standard SMA female (which features a socket), the Reverse Polarity Female (Jack) incorporates a protruding center pin within a standard threaded outer housing. This interface is widely utilized in the Wi-Fi industry to ensure compatibility between consumer-grade access points and antennas.
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 cellular applications.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Standardized Wireless Interface: The primary connector type used for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee antenna ports.
-
Broad Cable Compatibility: A single connector design that accommodates multiple cable types like LMR200 and RG58, simplifying assembly requirements.
-
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 pin and body ensures low contact resistance and long-term corrosion resistance.
Key Features
-
Reverse Polarity Configuration: Features a female-threaded body with a male-style center pin (Jack with Pin).
-
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 Male (Plug) connectors and pigtails.
-
3-Piece Assembly: Consists of the main connector body, the center contact pin, and the outer crimp ferrule for efficient installation.
-
Mechanical Reliability: Designed to withstand at least 500 mating cycles while maintaining stable electrical performance.
