Can I get some tips on how I would create a footprint for this SMA right

with through holes? Should I create two footprints
If you meant one connector on each side of a two sided board, the different pin
number arrangement of holes comes from changing the "current layer" before
placing the footprint, so it is flipped 180 degrees or not relative to some
other part on the component side, for instance. You only need one footprint.
Most of them seem to be a 0.10 inch grid of five .065 inch holes.
I just bought some that have the center conductor as a surface mount contact
instead of a through hole though. I wish I had a TDR setup so I could "see" the
difference in signal impedance continuity between it and the usual ones...
