Product Description
RPA-2462 — RP-SMA Reverse Female Jack Crimp Connector for RG-58 / LMR-195
The RPA-2462 is a 50-ohm RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) female jack crimp connector designed for RG-58, LMR-195, and other approximately 0.195-inch OD coaxial cables. It provides a reliable RF connection for wireless, antenna, telemetry, GPS, and communications applications.
Its reverse-polarity SMA configuration provides a female jack interface with a male center contact, making it suitable for wireless antenna and RF equipment where RP-SMA connections are required. The 3-piece construction provides a practical combination of soldered center-contact termination and crimped cable-shield attachment for dependable coaxial cable assemblies.
