Hi all, I have this SMA symbol that I want to used in my pcb design , but I have issue about how can I connect the pins for the schematic PCB I know pin 1 for RF signal , but for other pins (pin 2 to pin 5 ) should I connect all of these pins with GND or it made for just mount . and for the footprint how can I do that for PCB layout , knowing I am using 4 layers (SIG-GND-PWR-(it not have any signal then should I make it for GND or let it for SIG ))

All 4 pins should be connected to the return of the signal, the 'shield' of the coax.
