Reverse-polarity SMA connectors promote safety by opposing untested antennas
The CONREVSMA connectors by TE Connectivity offer a standard SMA jack and plug with a reversed center pin. This prevents unwanted connections while still allowing engineers to use existing tooling.
TE Connectivity offers a complete connectivity solution with the CONREVSMA004-G reverse-polarity SMA jack and CONREVSMA007-G reverse-polarity SMA plug. The jack is terminated on the PCB, and the plug is secured to a cable by crimping.
By reversing the polarity of the center pin in an SMA connection, engineers can secure end products against the use of untested third-party connections, including antennas. This enhances safety and prevents the system from operating beyond the limits of its certification and affecting surrounding radio equipment through unintended radiation.
The CONREVSMA connectors feature the standard threaded housing expected by engineers working with coaxial connections. Additionally, the gold-plated brass construction with PTFE dielectric matches what is expected of such connectors in most applications and product areas.
