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.

RP-SMA coaxial connector engineering reference
Amphenol RF describes RP-SMA as changing the center-contact gender while retaining the SMA-style threaded interface. Shell terminology and center-contact gender must therefore be inspected together.

Source-scoped identification facts
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

Recorded variant and source limits
- RP-SMA must not be identified from shell gender alone; inspect the center contact.
- System impedance, frequency range, cable and termination remain product-specific.
- Prior view context (not a source-view value): Family-level coax interface context only; no mating-face dimensions or universal performance map is published.
Unknowns stay unknown.
- RP-SMA must not be identified from shell gender alone; inspect the center contact.
- System impedance, frequency range, cable and termination remain product-specific.

Claims and sources
Amphenol RF describes RP-SMA as reversing the center-contact gender relative to SMA while retaining the SMA-style threaded interface; shell appearance alone is therefore insufficient to identify the center-contact arrangement.
