RP-SMA Jack, Male Pin — 50 Ohm, DC to 12.4 GHz
The characteristic impedance is 50 Ohm, and the frequency range extends from DC to 12.4 GHz, making it suited for Wi-Fi, ISM-band, and general-purpose RF interconnects where the cable run uses Belden 7807A or LMR-200. The gold-over-brass body finish and gold-plated centre contact support 500 mating cycles, typical for field-service and test-port duty.
12.4 GHz Ceiling vs 18 GHz Sibling
The 132236RP is rated to 12.4 GHz, while the bulkhead-mount 132134-11 (same series, SMA jack, female socket) is specified to 18 GHz. The difference comes from the RP-SMA interface geometry and the free-hanging cable termination — the crimp shield and solder contact introduce a slightly higher discontinuity than the solder-shield bulkhead variant. For applications below 12.4 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E, 5G sub-6, L-band through X-band), the 132236RP is a direct fit. Above that, the 132134-11 or a precision SMA would be needed.
Cable and Termination Kit
The cable group listed is Belden 7807A and LMR-200, both 50 Ohm low-loss cables with a nominal outer diameter that fits the included ferrule. No additional hardware is needed for a single cable assembly.
