RP-SMA Male to TNC Male Adapter [RFS-100230]

RP-SMA Male to TNC Male Adapter [RFS-100230]

The RP-SMA Male to TNC Male Adapter is a cross-standard RF adapter designed to connect TNC female jacks to RP-SMA female ports - a combination encountered when integrating consumer Wi-Fi equipment using RP-SMA with professional or military-grade RF systems utilizing TNC connectors. Operating at 50 Ohm impedance, this adapter spans two distinct connector ecosystems in a single compact body. The RP-SMA male end features external threads with an internal hollow socket - the reverse polarity contact configuration that distinguishes RP-SMA from standard SMA and is mandated for many FCC-regulated consumer wireless devices. The TNC male end provides a standard threaded interface with a center pin, mating with TNC female jacks on test equipment, antennas, and professional RF infrastructure. This adapter is particularly valuable in lab environments where consumer wireless devices are evaluated using professional-grade instrumentation. Precision manufactured from gold-plated brass with PTFE dielectric, this adapter delivers low insertion loss and reliable impedance matching, supporting signal integrity from DC through microwave frequencies.
