Got a lot of feedback re the subject connectors and overwhelming the suggestion
was to use Amphenol parts, which I usually do (but I have a lot of inherited
connectors).
I had never paid a lot of attention to connectors for my 8, 213 and similar
coax’s, but I did note that the color of the insulator varied. After reading
specs that the Amphenol used PTFE (all of my Amphenol of a later vintage appear
to be clear insulation), I took a look a some of the right angles I had plus a
pile of my barrels. Of those NOT marked Amphenol, almost all had no readable
brand or number imprinted. I also noticed that the insulation was either white
or shades of grey.
I’m not knowledgeable on plastics and am now curious to know what the white or
grey material used in these ‘other brand’ connectors might be (I’m dangerous
enough to know a lot of plastics do come in several colors).
