- Reverse Polarized SMA Connector
PCB edge mount RP-SMA RF connector. Perfect for prototyping with our RF ICs. This is a standard edge connector. The thickness between pins is 0.063" so that it can slide sideways onto a standard 1.6mm PCB. See the mechanical drawing to create your footprint.
Supported Antennae: Any antenna that follows the reverse polarized SMA convention. These are the most common 2.4GHz antennas you'll find.

Connector Basics
January 18, 2013
Connectors are a major source of confusion for people just beginning electronics. The number of different options, terms, and names of connectors can make selecting one, or finding the one you need, daunting. This article will help you get a jump on the world of connectors.
Core Skill: Soldering
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Rookie - The number of pins increases, and you will have to determine polarity of components and some of the components might be a bit trickier or close together. You might need solder wick or flux.

Could I use this to replace the connector on the Roving Networks RN-XV-S so that I can use just a normal wifi antenna?
So? Am I right to think that I could use this to reverse the polarity of the SMA connector on the XV-S?
Yes. I swapped the RN-XV connector with this one. Works great.
