FIELD REFERENCE / RF

Read the shell.
Then read the contact.

Six named RF examples separate connector role, coupling, centre-contact vocabulary and cable or board termination. A plausible exterior is not a complete identity.

Three newly observed side studies and one abstract vocabulary diagram. No side profile establishes the centre-contact type; read the scoped evidence with each row.

Concept table: standard SMA plug with pin and jack with socket; RP-SMA plug with socket and jack with pin. Thread position is identified separately. This is not a physical connector drawing.
Concept only. Pin/socket symbols are not scaled mating faces. Open provenance and scope → (private workspace)

ROLE / CONTACT / TERMINATION

Keep the fields separate.

Six named examples. Shell role, centre contact and termination are separate fields; these rows are not mating approvals.

TAKE THE SOURCE CONTEXT WITH YOU

A field guide, not a fit chart.

Three pages: shell/contact vocabulary, mounting distinctions and source limits. Both editions retain observation dates and the unresolved RP-SMA source discrepancy.

Original source-scoped reference; no fabrication or mating approval is granted.

Research is visible, approval is not implied.

Nine new source observations support this extension. They are kept outside the canonical claim/source catalogue; the four references retain their existing claims and dates. The two MCX/MMCX rows reuse V126 observations and do not claim a new inspection.

Three customer drawing pages were visually inspected through the source viewer. Raw PDF bytes could not be retained, so no source-file checksum is claimed. The separate RP-SMA jack drawing was not inspected. All images, chart content and print outputs remain pending independent technical and rights review.
