The reason I got interested in this is that I found a surplus dealer who is selling Andrew 7/16 DINs for 1/2 inch helical cable at 4 for $24, and LDF4-50A for .75 a foot. Belatedly, I've discovered the connectors are for the wrong 1/2 inch cable, which shots that idea.

Thanks to everyone who responded. It sounds as if the 7/16 DINs are quite common and cheap in Europe -- maybe I need to make a pilgrimage to Friedrichshaven!

Pete,

One word that I have never heard in the same sentence as "7/16 DIN" is
"inexpensive"! They _are_ available for all major cable sizes, but if I
had to deal with an existing one on the end of a cable (for amateur
service), I'd lop it off and re-terminate with N connectors. Much
cheaper in the long run.

Has anyone had any experience using 7/16 DIN connectors on 1/2 inch
Andrew
hardline (LD4-50A).  How about on RG-213 size coax?  I am trying to
figure
out a relatively inexpensive way of mating the Andrew to RG-213 jumpers
at
each end.
