Description
The RP-SMA Female Crimp Connector is a specialized RF component engineered to meet standard regulatory requirements for wireless equipment. In a Reverse Polarity configuration, the “Female” connector (Jack) features external threads but contains a male-style center pin instead of a socket. This interface is the standard for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware to ensure specific antenna compatibility.
This connector is optimized for thin, high-flexibility cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.100″ (2.5mm). The termination utilizes a hex-crimp method for the outer ferrule, creating a 360-degree mechanical bond that ensures high pull-strength and consistent electrical grounding. Constructed with a gold-plated brass body and high-purity PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains a strict 50 Ohm impedance and low VSWR across frequencies up to 6 GHz, making it suitable for modern wireless communication standards.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Compact RF Solution: The small form factor allows for high-density integration in portable devices and small enclosures.
-
Broad Cable Compatibility: Sized to fit multiple thin-profile cables including RG174, RG316, and LMR100, simplifying inventory for custom pigtail manufacturing.
-
Vibration-Resistant Bond: The hex-crimp ferrule provides a rugged attachment that is more reliable than solder-only outer terminations in mobile applications.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The 360-degree crimp ensures a continuous ground path, providing excellent protection against signal interference.
-
Superior Conductivity: High-purity gold plating on the center pin and body ensures low contact resistance and long-term protection against oxidation.
Key Features
-
Reverse Polarity Female Interface: Features external threads and a center pin (Jack with Pin).
-
Premium PTFE Dielectric: High-grade insulator ensures thermal stability and low signal attenuation at microwave frequencies.
-
Standard 1/4-36 Thread: Fully compatible with all standard RP-SMA Male (Plug) connectors.
-
3-Piece Assembly: Includes the main connector body, the center contact pin, and the outer crimp ferrule for efficient installation.
-
Industrial Durability: Machined from brass with high-quality plating for reliable performance over at least 500 mating cycles.
