RP-SMA changes the center-contact arrangement relative to ordinary SMA while retaining the same threaded interface. The RP prefix is not a claim that a signal is electrically inverted.
Also called RP-SMA RPSMA reverse polarity SMA
The outer thread alone cannot settle SMA versus RP-SMA.
Inspect the center contact and the shell together. The paired sketches illustrate the contact distinction, not dimensions, torque or an engineering mating specification.

The center-contact convention is reversed relative to ordinary SMA while the outer threaded interface is retained. “Reverse polarity” here is not a statement that the RF signal is inverted, nor permission to connect any two matching shells.
Identify first
Record outer coupling and center-contact role separately. Vendor plug/jack naming without the actual contact description can be misleading.
Still unresolved
The exact pair’s mating approval, cable match and electrical performance are not established by the RP-SMA name.

C063A (private workspace) — SMA is a threaded RF connector family. Amphenol distinguishes SMA from RP-SMA by the center-contact arrangement even though the threaded interface is retained.
Named standard or manufacturer description only; procedural checks are editorial recommendations, not hardware tests.
Source interpretation is not independent engineering review, hardware testing, wiring advice or a public-release approval.
Amphenol distinguishes SMA from RP-SMA by the center-contact arrangement. Similar outer threading does not prove that both contacts will engage correctly.
Three checks and exact source trail ↗Editorial decision guidance only. A connector identity or nominal pitch does not establish approved mating, safe wiring or a supported device combination.

Reverse-polarity contact convention
Small center circles depict the contact-convention distinction only; thread pitch and gender assignments are not specified.
Reverse-polarity concerns the center-contact convention, not signal polarity; inspect exact male/female part sheets.
No fabrication dimensions, conductor routing, guaranteed fit or device approval. For electrical, power and optical interfaces, follow the original equipment instructions.
Uses previously recorded V112 manufacturer claim/source inspections; October 2026 supplementary public-source spot checks are documented separately, not treated as a refreshed approval.

The useful distinction
RP-SMA changes the center-contact arrangement relative to ordinary SMA while retaining the same threaded interface. The RP prefix is not a claim that a signal is electrically inverted. [C064A]
Amphenol RF identifies 132134RP as a straight 50-ohm RP-SMA jack with PCB through-hole termination and soldered contact termination. [C064C]
The 132134RP specification page describes the coupling as threaded and the thread direction as Standard. [C064D]
TE’s cross-reference guide describes the Amphenol 132134RP entry as a jack with a male center pin. [C064E]
TE states that its cross-reference guide is for assessment and does not establish exact equivalence of competing products. [C064F]
Identify RP-SMA from shell and center-contact role, not the RP prefix alone.

Use exact part drawings for both ends; retain shell and center-contact descriptions together.
Existing source inspection and AI review remain distinct from independent technical review. A matching form does not establish a safe connection.
