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.

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.
