Many companies install them on the outside of the enclosure if the box is
thick. Could you solder it to your PCB after assembly in the enclosure or
use a short lead? Since you're going to have to waterproof the connection
anyway, it is easy to seal the square portion of SO-239. I would be more
concerned about buying a quality (Amphenol) SO-239.

Anyone know a source for slighlyt longer SO-239? The "standard" ones, when
mounted on my pc board, are somewhat short when I install them inside my
waterproof outdoor box, mounted inside and thru the box so the PL259
connects
outside....I'd feel better with more threads on the outside of the
enclosure....
