Amphenol RF new reverse polarity SMA assemblies give more design options for antenna applications by providing additional RP-SMA connector configurations, Electro Pages reported.

As part of its fixed-length cable assembly product line, the new assemblies will incorporate additional RP-SMA connector configurations. “These new cable assemblies provide the popular RG-174 and RG-316 flexible cables and join the strong offering of earlier released RG-58 options. Straight plug and bulkhead jack configurations are offered in several standard lengths from 6" to 2m. They are excellent for a broad range of test and measurement applications,” Electro Pages noted.

These high-performance industry-standard RP-SMA connectors are manufactured utilising gold plated, brass bodies cables. The plugs have gold-plated female contacts machined from beryllium copper and the jacks have gold-plated male contacts machined from brass. The connectors support a minimum of 500 mating cycles through the use of enduring underplating of high phosphorus nickel.

The RP-SMA assemblies support frequencies through 6GHz and provide the same features and benefits of the conventional SMA connector comprising the threaded coupling mechanism. Individually tested to ensure the highest quality standards. Amphenol RF offers custom lengths upon request.
