Does anyone know the spec for power handling capability for SMA connectors, at 1.296 ghz? Also, the often found hardline interconnect cable for that connector, that I would say is about 3 mm in diame

Are you referring to UT-141 semi rigid? The 141 happens to be the outside diameter in INCHES as in .141" Google will show several conversations about SMA ratings. Carl KM1H __________________________

Suhner data shows approx. 500W based on dielectric strength, but there's a second 'low SWR' curve on the chart which extrapolates to around 1500W at 1.3GHz. The spec. also gives 10kW for 1us. The con

As your figures from Suhner shows, .5kw is all I will do with an N at 800 and up. I think you find that with DB Spectra, Celwave, Andrews and other makers of filters in that range. It is pretty stand

A 30 Ohm connector that is 1" long will not even show a bump thru at least 6M and they are still OK on 2M. Some UHF articles have stated they are a perfect 50 Ohms at 1296, dont know.I use them at lo

They work ok but will show up on a good res time domain reflectometer or keen oscilloscope at 150 mhz. I can tell a barrel splice from a 30-50-30 squiggle on the tape or screen wherever it is on the

I suspect a lot of issues with 259s arise from the variation in materials. I see lots with nylon and brown 'plastic' (bakelite or SRBP?) insulation which I wouldn't trust under stress or with age. Th

The other (huge) thing not being mentioned is weatherproofing. I have both weatherproof and non, and the diff in price between flavors is nil: ie, REAL weatherproof PL259s are the same price as their

I found big differences in N type socket construction where the centre contact is captive (mostly 4 hole or bulkhead sockets). With Amphenol, for example, the pin has a bit of knurling to lock it int

It's also one of the weaknesses of N-type connectors on long vertical runs as the center pin tends to pull back and lose connection with the female connector. This is quite common with those long ver

** Tin the nickel ones first. I do a batch at a time of NOS Amphenols I picked up back in the R-K days with a solder pot. Flux up, dip in pot and bang hard to remove excess. Is VGE still in business?

I have used, used PL259s that the solder didn't want to stick to, so I drilled out the holes (two at a time) with a drill bit a we bit larger than the original hole and the bare brass soldered like a

Another trick is to file across each of the 4 holes with a 1/8in round file. File away to almost the full depth of the hole, leaving just a thin feather-edge of bare brass which is much easier to sol

That would seem to just require more of an area to solder Thats how I was taught in the Navy, in 1959. These days I use a tubing cutter but I only tin solid dielectric coax, not foam. Carl KM1H _____

I learned the pre-tinning and tubing cutter trick that Karl describes from a W6SAI book on wire antennas. Some time back I learned the trick of roughing up the surface around the PL-259's holes. I'm
