Take an Amphenol rt angle PL259 apart. Your opinion may change :)
I had 2 fail mobile, turns out they where TINY springs for the interconnect.
Transistors have ratings, tubes have guidelines!

I wouldn't blame this on the cell phone industry -- you just got
suckered by JUNK connectors. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger -- I did
too, buying a bunch at hamfests about 8 years ago. Caused me no end of
problems. Not limited to DIN to N adapters -- all sorts of adapters are
this sort of junk. Elbows, Tees, BNC to N, BNC to PL259, PL259 to N, and
so on. This garbage falls apart, burns up, goes intermittent, etc.
Many of us have learned the hard way -- nothing but Amphenol. Period.
