[TenTec] soldering pl259

Tue Apr 13 07:52:13 PDT 2010

I just checked Amphenol web sites. They make a compression UHF connector, but only in the smaller RG-58 size. If you want a UHF for RG-213 the only thing they offer is a crimp connector. 

In any of the connectors that use compression or crimp. you've still got to solder the center conductor. Of course you have eliminated the demands of soldering the connector body. 

Amphenol part numbers are: 

083-58FCP-RFX for the compression UHF connector for RG-58 

083-85P-RFX for the crimp UHF connector for RG-213

Good morning...A bit off topic I know, and I don't want to "teach my granny 
to suck eggs" but just in case there is anyone who has'nt heard of them, we 
can get PL259 plugs in the UK which fit in the same way as N types. ie the 
outer does not need soldering, it is clamped in the same way as with the N 
type. siutably assembled they can be water tight and though they are more 
expensive than the others they can be recovered and used again. They are 
branded "MULTICOMP" and are sold in the UK by Farnell under the part number 
1169714. I am sure  they will be available in the colonies too!
