SMA M RP CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

RP-SMA Male Straight Crimp Connector for LMR100 / RG174 / RG316

Short Description

Standard Reverse Polarity (RP) SMA Male Crimp Connector (Plug) designed for 50 Ohm sub-miniature coaxial cables such as LMR100, RG174, and RG316. This connector features a gold-plated body and a center socket (instead of a pin) to meet standard Wi-Fi and wireless equipment requirements.

Long Description

The RP-SMA Male Crimp Connector is a specialized RF component used primarily in wireless networking. While it has the external appearance and internal threads of a standard SMA Male, the Reverse Polarity design replaces the center pin with a female-style socket. This configuration is the industry standard for Wi-Fi antennas and consumer wireless routers.

This connector is optimized for thin-profile cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.100″ (2.5mm). It utilizes a hex-crimp termination for the ferrule, ensuring a secure, 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable braid. Constructed with a gold-plated brass body and high-purity PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains a precise 50 Ohm impedance and low VSWR across frequencies up to 6 GHz, providing a reliable interface for internal pigtails and external antenna connections.

Key Technical Advantages

• Regulatory Compliance: Specifically designed for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee equipment that requires RP-SMA interfaces.

• Broad Cable Support: Fits multiple popular thin-profile cables including RG174, RG316, and LMR100, simplifying inventory for custom assemblies.

• Rugged Crimp Termination: The hex-crimp ferrule provides high pull-strength and superior grounding compared to twist-on alternatives.

• Reliable Shielding: The 360-degree crimp ensures continuous electrical contact, protecting the signal from EMI/RFI interference.

• High Conductivity: Gold-plated internal components and body ensure low insertion loss and excellent protection against environmental corrosion.

Key Features

• Reverse Polarity Male Interface: Threaded coupling nut with an internal gold-plated socket (Plug with Socket).

• PTFE (Teflon) Dielectric: High-grade insulator ensures signal stability and high thermal resistance for easy assembly.

• 3-Piece Crimp Design: Includes the main connector body, the center contact socket, and the outer crimp ferrule.

• Standard 1/4-36 Thread: Fully compatible with all standard RP-SMA Female (Jack) bulkhead and antenna ports.

• Industrial Build: Machined from brass and designed to withstand at least 500 mating cycles.
