Reverse Polarized SMA Connector

PCB edge mount Reverse Polarized - 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 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.

Be sure to check out the SMA connector tutorial here for more information on SMA connectors.

    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.
