This is a great connector for anyone doing RF work, when a straight SMA connector is required. Solder it into your PCB for a very secure mechanical connection. You've probably seen tons of these on various development boards! The four mechanical connectors also act as the RF ground.
Mates with any SMA plug. Check if you have RP-SMA or SMA by looking at the middle pin of your antenna/cable and verifying it will match with this connector!
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
