Description
The SMA Female RP (Reverse Polarity) PCB Solder Connector is a precision-engineered RF interface designed for direct mounting onto printed circuit boards. While it maintains the standard SMA threaded housing, the RP-SMA configuration features a male-style center pin inside the female threads, making it the industry standard for consumer Wi-Fi equipment and FCC-compliant wireless devices.
Engineered for High-Speed Wireless Integration
This connector is optimized for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless applications. Its through-hole or surface-mount (SMT) solder legs provide a high-strength mechanical bond to the PCB, ensuring the connector remains stable even with frequent antenna adjustments. The gold-plated body and center contact ensure ultra-low contact resistance and protection against oxidation.
Key Technical Advantages:
-
RP-SMA Standard: Specifically designed to meet FCC regulations for non-standard antenna interfaces, commonly used in Wi-Fi 6, Zigbee, and Bluetooth hardware.
-
Superior Solderability: Features pre-tinned or high-purity gold-plated leads for clean, reliable solder joints that withstand thermal cycling.
-
Low VSWR & Insertion Loss: Maintains a stable 50 Ohm impedance across the signal path, ensuring maximum range and data throughput for wireless modules.
-
Robust Mechanical Design: The threaded barrel is machined from high-grade brass to withstand the torque of external antennas without shearing from the PCB.
-
Compact PCB Footprint: Designed to save board space while providing a secure 2-pin or 4-pin grounding layout for excellent EMI shielding.
