Amphenol Coaxial connector (RF) question

Interconnect

I just bought a couple of 132171 Amphenol (CONN ADAPT PLUG TO JACK SMA) and want to use it for VHF/UHF antenna connection. Now the description says it’s 500 ohms? Is that a typo and it’s really a 50 ohm impedance adaptor?? Seems like RF connectors/adaptors should usually be 50 ohms. I’m thinking that’s a typo but need to confirm. Can’t use it if it’s really 500 ohms!!!

Hi @mortoma ,

Thank you for contacting DigiKey TechForum.

Your part 132171 is verified a 50 Ohm value. When ohms follows the numeric ohmic value without a space before it, it can appear to add another zero to the actual ohm value such like below:
