RP-SMA Jack — Reverse Polarity for Antenna Ports
The 132134RP: This connector is specified when a design requires the RP-SMA interface — typically on wireless access points, antenna modules, and test fixtures where the centre pin is reversed to prevent mating with standard SMA connectors.
500 Mating Cycles — Field-Service Durability
That cycle count suits equipment that sees periodic reconnection — antenna swaps, test-point access, or field maintenance — but not a high-cycle production interconnect where a bayonet or push-pull coupling would be specified. The gold-on-gold contact interface (gold centre contact plating over brass, gold body finish) keeps contact resistance stable across those cycles without fretting corrosion in the threaded coupling.
Threaded Fastening — Vibration-Resistant Mate
The threaded coupling nut (standard SMA thread form) provides a positive mechanical lock when mated with the corresponding RP-SMA plug. Once torqued to spec, the interface resists vibration and accidental disconnect — a requirement for antenna feeds on moving equipment or outdoor enclosures. The through-hole mounting anchors the connector body to the PCB, so the solder joints carry the mechanical load of cable strain, not the centre pin.
The 132134RP reverses the centre contact gender: male pin instead of female socket. That is the only functional difference — the body, plating, dielectric, thread form, and 500-cycle endurance are identical. The choice between them is purely interface polarity: RP-SMA for antenna ports where regulations or design rules prohibit a standard SMA male plug, standard SMA for everything else.
Active Production — No Lifecycle Pressure
There is no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy deadline, and no official successor to track.
