RF launch for the board edge
The 132255-12N is an Amphenol RF SMA receptacle, a 50 Ohm end-launch jack meant for board-edge mounting. It carries a single port with a threaded coupling, gold-plated beryllium copper centre contact, and a PTFE dielectric. The body is machined brass with nickel finish. Rated to 18 GHz, this connector is designed for RF signal paths where the board trace transitions to a coaxial cable at the PCB perimeter. The 500 mating cycles rating means it can handle repeated connect-disconnect duty in test setups or field-service applications where the cable gets swapped regularly.
This is an SMA female receptacle (jack) with a threaded coupling. It mates with any standard SMA male plug (pin contact) that has the same 1/4-36 UNS thread and 50 Ohm interface per IEC 60169-15. The gold-on-gold contact interface supports the 500-cycle life.
