This RP-SMA connector is designed for edge-mounting onto a PCB, making it handy for RF prototyping and compact antenna connections.

It is suited to GPS and cellular projects that need an external antenna connection brought directly to the board edge. Each connector is fitted with a female signal pin.

The connector is intended to correctly mate with original SMA type antennas, and a mechanical drawing is available from the supplier documentation for footprint and fitment reference.

A practical choice for prototype boards, custom RF layouts, and antenna breakouts where an RP-SMA board-edge connector is required.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

GPS: The US satellite navigation system used by GNSS receivers to calculate position and time. Support for GPS is important because it is widely available and often used together with other constellations for more reliable positioning.
PCB: A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
RF: RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
SMA: SMA is a small threaded coaxial (RF) connector widely used to attach antennas and other radio-frequency cables. A device with SMA antenna ports needs antennas or pigtails with matching SMA connectors, or a suitable adapter, to connect to them.
