Reverse polarity SMA cable assemblies support RG-174, RG-316 cables
Jan. 19, 2021
Amphenol RF's expanded line of pre-configured, reverse Polarity SMA assemblies provides more design options for antenna applications.
Amphenol RF (Danbury, CT) on Jan. 15 announced the expansion of its fixed length cable assembly product line to include additional RP-SMA connector configurations.
The new cable assemblies feature the popular RG-174 and RG-316 flexible cables and join the robust offering of previously released RG-58 options. Straight plug and bulkhead jack configurations are available in a number of standard lengths from 6 inches to two meters. The assemblies are suitable for a wide range of test and measurement applications.
These cable assemblies utilize high performance industry standard RP-SMA connectors manufactured using gold plated, brass bodies. Plugs feature gold plated female contacts machined from beryllium copper. Jacks feature gold plated male contacts machined from brass. A durable underplating of high phosphorus nickel ensures the connectors support a minimum of 500 mating cycles.
The new RP-SMA assemblies support frequencies through 6 GHz and have all of the same features and benefits of the traditional SMA connector including the threaded coupling mechanism. All cable assemblies are individually tested to ensure the highest quality standards. Custom lengths are available by request.
