Ive been using those adapters since the 80's when they first showed up and all were imports I believe. Used outdoors they dont all weather well externally but have made reliable connections even when on the old RCS-4 for 20+ years and shielded from direct percipitation. Some appear pitted as in old pot metal!

The only problems Ive had were from tightening too tight with pliers that the outer shell popped loose. Another was on RG-6 feeding an 80M sloper at up to1200W for many years with no problem... it was a temporary antenna with no tape on the connectors that survived about 13 years until the cheap store bought center insulator/balun fell apart thanks to plain old steel eyebolts.

When using a Ameritron remote antenna switch with SO-239 fittings, does anyone know a supplier for female F fitting to PL-259 adaptor ?

Thanks,
