How to Distinguish Male and Female and Polarity of RF Connector?

As an RF Coaxial Connector Factory, share with you. When you try to identify male and female RF connectors, you may find the following to help keep the difference between the different RF connectors in mind:

1. When inserting plugs and jacks, it is important to ensure that both connectors have the same polarity.

2. Generally, the RF plug is convex and the thread is located on the inside of the housing.

3. Generally, the RF jack is concave, and the thread is located on the outside of the housing.

4. The shell of the plug (male) usually covers the shell of the jack (female).

Based on these concepts, here are some more useful descriptions:

The standard polar male plug has a center pin extending from the middle, and the shell of the plug is threaded. The RF coaxial SSMC Male Connector is usually located at the end of the coaxial cable connecting products such as cellular gateways or GPS receivers.

There is a socket in the middle of the female socket with standard polarity, which is used to connect the pins on the plug, and the socket shell has threads. SMA jacks can usually be found on radios such as cellular gateways or GPS receivers. 

The male plug of reverse polarity has a socket in the middle for receiving the pin from the female connector, and the shell of the plug has threads.

The female socket of the reverse polarity has a central pin protruding from the middle, and the shell of the socket is threaded.

Remember:

The standard polarity jack (female) has a socket, while the reverse polarity jack (female) has a pin.

The standard polarity plug (male) has a pin and the reverse polarity plug (male) has a socket.

The connector is a component that our electronic engineering technicians often touch. Its role is very simple: blocking or isolating communication between circuits in a bridge circuit, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to achieve its intended function. Connectors are an integral part of electronic equipment. You will always find one or more connectors along the path through which current flows.

The form and structure of connectors are constantly changing. According to the application object, frequency, power and application environment, there are various types of connectors. For example, the connector for lighting on the court and the connector for hard drives and the connector for lighting rockets are completely different. But no matter what kind of connector, it is necessary to ensure a smooth and continuous current.
