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 is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- 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
- A threaded coaxial connector commonly used for antennas. It matters because you need antennas with matching SMA connectors, or suitable adapters, for the LTE and GNSS antenna ports.
