I'd say they're wrong. Type Ns flashover at >3000V at STP, and that's a lot of voltage. The center pin can handle 6A continuously, probably 12A intermittently. 1500W is 5.48A in a 50 Ohm system. 1500

There is no problem with correctly assembled N connectors at these power levels; but there is a risk of failure if the centre pin is not mated correctly. This can happen when N connectors with a floa

The consensus is that N connectors are fine at 1500 watts up to 30 MHz (and probably beyond but my use is 30 MHz or lower). My problem with N-connectors in the past, and it's a distant past, is in as

Ron, the Andrew N connectors for LDF5-50 do have captive center pins, they don't make them any other way. The problem discussed doesn't occur with Heliax, it occurs with flex cables that use connecto

The trick in assembling N connectors is to make sure you have the shield wires laid out flat with none overlapping one another. Use a pick to separate them. Then cut the shield wires to the proper le

Ron, I've been running full legal power into N connectors on the HF bands for many years with no failures. Correct assembly is essential to reliability, the relatively new RC connectors eliminate the

Ron, My Andrew catalog rates LDF4-50A with their L4NM connectors at 6.31 KW at 30 MHz.. Of course, as you go down in frequency the power handling goes up. I have never had any problems with the coax

Ron and Team I have had the same experience as Frank. I have also been running full legal power into N connectors for years on the HF bands with *no* problems. On 6M I have been able to run 1200 watt

Looks good to me. The centre conductors in the Andrew cables are anchored against endways movement by the foam, and also their connectors are captive pin; so no problems there. Likewise the RG213 jum
