This adapter bridges the gap between a standard threaded RP-SMA antenna port and the miniature snap-on U.FL connector found on WiFi modules, cellular radios, and IoT transceivers. The 50 Ohm characteristic impedance and 6 GHz frequency ceiling cover the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi bands plus sub-6 GHz 5G NR spectrum, making it a common choice for prototyping and production antenna harnesses. ## Panel-Mount Hardware and Temperature Range The bulkhead mounting feature lets you fix the adapter through a chassis panel up to about 3 mm thick — the lockwasher bites into the panel to keep the adapter from rotating when you torque the mating RP-SMA cable onto it. The brass body with gold finish resists corrosion, and the PTFE dielectric holds the 50 Ohm line through the transition. ## 100 Mating Cycles — Service Life for Field Replacements The adapter is rated for 100 mating cycles. That figure applies to the U.FL snap-on interface — the RP-SMA threaded side will last hundreds of cycles, but the miniature U.FL side is the wear item. For a production antenna harness that gets mated once and left alone, 100 cycles is plenty. For a test fixture or a field-swappable module, plan to replace the adapter when the U.FL side starts feeling loose. The gold-over-brass center contacts on both ends keep contact resistance stable across those cycles. ## RP-SMA vs SMA — Why This Matters for Antenna Polarity The RP-SMA side has a jack body with a male center pin — that is the reverse-polarity variant. Standard SMA uses a female center pin in the jack. WiFi access points and many embedded radios use RP-SMA to keep consumers from attaching standard SMA antennas with incompatible gain patterns. If your module has an RP-SMA jack, this adapter mates directly. If it uses standard SMA, you need the sibling 901-10175, which converts SMA (female socket) to U.FL. The center gender difference is the only functional distinction between the two — both are 50 Ohm, 6 GHz, bulkhead-mount adapters with the same hardware kit.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF 901-10097 RP-SMA to U.FL Adapter, 50 Ohm, 6 GHz","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF 901-10097 straight between-series adapter, RP-SMA jack to U.FL (UMCC) jack, male-to-male center pins.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol RF","Style":"Straight","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Includes":"3 pcs - 1 Connector, 1 Lockwasher, 1 Nut","Impedance":"50Ohm","Body Finish":"Gold","Adapter Type":"Jack to Jack","Body Material":"Brass","Center Gender":"Male to Male","Mating Cycles":"100","Mounting Type":"Panel Mount","Adapter Series":"RP-SMA to U.FL (UMCC), AMC","Fastening Type":"Snap-On, Threaded","Insertion Loss":"-","Product Status":"Active","Conversion Type":"Between Series","Frequency - Max":"6 GHz","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"Bulkhead","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"901-10","Dielectric Material":"Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~165°C","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Brass","Convert To (Adapter End)":"U.FL (UMCC) Jack, Male Pin","Convert From (Adapter End)":"RP-SMA Jack, Male Pin"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$12.8400","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/24dfa79e708270c30d6c75f43ddf031b.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/901-10097/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the Amphenol RF 901-10097 adapter used for?","answer":"It connects an RP-SMA antenna port to a U.FL (UMCC) or AMC module connector, commonly used in WiFi routers, cellular IoT gateways, and embedded wireless systems where the antenna cable terminates in a threaded RP-SMA and the module uses the miniature snap-on U.FL interface."},{"question":"Does the 901-10097 include a lockwasher and nut?","answer":"Yes, the package includes three pieces: the connector body, one lockwasher, and one nut.
