Well you're looking in the right place, I only purchase Andrew and Amphenol
connectors. Like K9YC, I would recommend the Amphenol 83-1SP.

Amphenol makes several different solder-type PL-259 plugs.

Some have a Teflon insulator, and some are Phenolic. I've seen three
different colors of what I assume are phenolic: Dark yellow (very old),
light yellow, and blue.
I can find nothing in Amphenol's literature to suggest which insulator is
preferable under which circumstance. The Teflon plugs seem to be the most
expensive, but are they actually any better than phenolic? I know it can be
difficult to re-use a Teflon connector because the heat necessary to
unsolder them can cause the center pin to shift.
Can anyone pass along some enlightenment on this subject? Thanks!
