Assembling RF Connectors 313 Type N—Reverse-Polarity Crimp-on Plug for RG-58 Size Cables Appendix B 314 Type N—Reverse-Polarity Crimp-on Jack for RG-58 Size Cables SMA Plugs and Jacks SMA connectors are identified by their small (1/4-inch) diameter male threading on jacks and 5/16-inch body nut on plugs. Pin styles may be male or female on either end. SMA connectors are typically used on small diameter RG-174/RG-316 cables for pigtails but may be used for medium diameter RG-58/RG-142 cables for moderate length cable runs.
