The Amphenol RF 132116RP is an RP-SMA jack with a male pin — the gender-reversed version of the standard SMA interface. In RP-SMA the jack carries the centre pin instead of the usual female socket, so it mates with an RP-SMA plug that has a female socket. This reversal is common on Wi-Fi access points, antenna pigtails, and test equipment where the standard SMA gender convention would create a short or a mechanical mismatch. The connector is rated for 50 Ohm impedance, 500 V, and a maximum frequency of 12.4 GHz, with a PTFE dielectric and gold-plated brass body.
Cable Group and Termination — Crimp for RG-58 and LMR-195
This jack terminates to RG-58, RG-58A, RG-58B, RG-58C, RG-141, RG-303, LMR-195, Belden B7806A, and Belden 9907 cables. The gold-plated brass centre contact and gold body finish keep corrosion at bay in outdoor or humid runs.
For a field-installed antenna cable that gets mated once and left, 500 cycles is more than enough; for a test-bench cable that gets swapped daily, it's a reasonable service life before the gold plating on the centre contact starts to wear.
