Description

The term SMA F RP LMR 200 CRIMP refers to a specific type of RF connector and cable assembly, and each part of the definition provides important details about the product: SMA: Stands for SubMiniature version A, which is a type of coaxial RF connector. The SMA connectors are commonly used for higher-frequency applications (up to 18 GHz) and are known for their small size and reliability. F: Indicates the female gender of the connector, meaning the connector has an internal receptacle designed to mate with a male (pin) counterpart. RP: Stands for Reverse Polarity. This refers to the reversal of the normal male and female gender designations of SMA connectors. In RP SMA connectors, the center pin of the female is reversed to the center socket of the male, making them incompatible with standard SMA connectors unless specified. LMR 200: LMR (Low Loss Micro-coaxial) 200 is a type of coaxial cable known for its low attenuation and flexibility. LMR 200 cables are widely used in wireless applications, offering a balance between size, performance, and cost. They are typically used in RF communication systems and can handle frequencies up to 6 GHz. CRIMP: This refers to the method of attaching the connector to the cable. In a crimp connection, a metal sleeve is used to securely attach the connector to the cable without the need for soldering. The crimping process involves squeezing the sleeve around the cable, ensuring a strong electrical connection. In summary, an SMA F RP LMR 200 CRIMP is a female reverse polarity SMA connector attached to an LMR 200 coaxial cable using a crimping technique, typically for use in RF applications where a low-loss, flexible cable is needed.
