TNC Male Coax Connectors JC3.650.265.1

Reverse Polarity TNC Male Crimp Coax Cable Connector NOT MADE IN CHINA. At one time all connectors were straight. Boys were boys and Girls were girls then along came the Government… In order to regulate WiFi and try to create connectors specialized for it’s use we have the FCC and the wonderful concept of RP (Reverse Polarity). This just confuses people who intuitively know that pins are male and holes are female! Reverse polarity SMA (RP-SMA or RPSMA) is a proprietary variation of the SMA connector specification which reverses the gender of the interface, as shown in Photos below. The term “reverse polarity” here refers only to the connector gender, not in any way to the polarity of the signal. An RP-SMA MALE connector has the same external housing as a standard or conventional SMA, however, the internal prong or pin is replaced by a receptacle or female inner pin. Similarly, an RP-SMA FEMALE has a pin like a conventional male, and the connector keeps the female outer threads. Now we have Females with Male Pins and Males with Female innards. See the picture here of SMAs, but TNCs, BNCs, Ns and others can all be Straight or RP depending on their use.
