The Amphenol RF 132117RP is an RP-SMA jack with a male pin — reverse polarity swaps the gender of the centre contact while keeping the threaded coupling the same. This is not a BNC connector; the threaded fastening and 12.4 GHz ceiling place it in the SMA family, with the reverse-polarity variant used where regulations or system design require a non-standard contact arrangement.
Cable Compatibility and Kit Contents
This connector is designed for RG-174, RG-188, RG-188A, RG-316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174 cables. It is not compatible with RG-58 — the dielectric diameter and centre conductor size differ. The kit includes five pieces: one connector body, one contact, one ferrule, one lockwasher, and one nut.
Rated to 12.4 GHz maximum frequency.
