RP-SMA Plug Solderless Connectors
RP-SMA plug solderless connectors terminate low-loss coaxial cables in RF and microwave systems requiring reverse polarity SMA interfaces for Wi-Fi, RF communication, and radio pigtail assemblies operating in 50-ohm systems. Designed with threaded RP-SMA plug interfaces supporting DC to 6 GHz operation with 195-series low-loss coaxial cables, these connectors feature captive gold-plated center pins eliminating soldering or crimping needs on inner conductors. Brass bodies with nickel plating, PTFE dielectric insulation, and crimp jacket attachment support indoor and outdoor RF assemblies.

FAQs
What are RP-SMA plug solderless connectors used for?
RP-SMA plug solderless connectors are used to terminate low-loss coaxial cables in RF and microwave systems where reverse polarity SMA interfaces are required. These connectors are ideally used in Wi-Fi, RF communication, and radio pigtail assemblies that operate in 50-ohm systems. Common applications include low-loss coaxial cable assemblies, RF interconnects, Wi-Fi equipment connections, and radio pigtails requiring simplified installation without soldering.
How do solderless RP-SMA connectors eliminate soldering requirements?
The captive gold-plated center pin eliminates the need for soldering or crimping on the inner conductor, simplifying installation while maintaining consistent electrical contact. This solderless design allows cable assemblies to be built or repaired without soldering the center conductor in Wi-Fi, RF communication, and radio pigtail applications. The captive pin design provides reliable electrical connectivity in 195-series low-loss coaxial cable terminations.
What cable types are compatible with RP-SMA plug solderless connectors?
Designed for use with 195-series low-loss coaxial cables that have solid center conductors, RP-SMA plug solderless connectors are compatible with cable types such as LMR®195, CNT-195, TWS-195, and L-com CA-195. The crimp attachment method secures the cable jacket while the captive center pin accommodates solid center conductors used in Wi-Fi equipment connections, RF interconnects, and low-loss coaxial cable assemblies operating in 50-ohm systems.
What frequency range do RP-SMA plug solderless connectors support?
Designed with a threaded RP-SMA plug interface, RP-SMA plug solderless connectors support operation from DC to 6 GHz. This frequency range accommodates Wi-Fi, RF communication, and radio pigtail assemblies requiring reverse polarity SMA interfaces in 50-ohm RF and microwave systems. The DC to 6 GHz capability supports both lower-frequency RF applications and higher-frequency wireless communications in indoor and outdoor installations.
What construction materials do RP-SMA plug solderless connectors use?
RP-SMA plug solderless connectors feature brass bodies with nickel plating and PTFE dielectric insulation. The brass body construction with nickel plating provides durability and corrosion resistance, while PTFE dielectric insulation ensures reliable RF performance in Wi-Fi equipment connections and RF communication applications. The standard connector body style supports use in both indoor and outdoor RF assemblies with 195-series low-loss coaxial cables.
What attachment method do RP-SMA solderless connectors use?
RP-SMA solderless connectors use the crimp attachment method that secures the cable jacket, while the captive gold-plated center pin eliminates the need for soldering or crimping on the inner conductor. This combination provides secure mechanical and electrical connections in low-loss coaxial cable assemblies and RF interconnects. The crimp-style jacket attachment with solderless center pin connection simplifies installation in Wi-Fi, RF communication, and radio pigtail assembly applications.
