I'm not sure which buyup you're talking about. Amphenol has been selling
cut-rate "RFX" series connectors for at least a decade but these are not
what you want.

Part numbers below. When you type them into the distributor's search engine
you'll see "RFX" variants as well, don't buy the RFX variants.
PL-259: Amphenol 83-1SP
SO-239: Amphenol 83-1R
Barrel: Amphenol 83-1J

Start your search at a known mainline distributor like Newark, Mouser, DX
Engineering, etc.

Never buy anything through TEMU or ALIEXPRESS. They are guaranteed to be
counterfeit and have nothing at all to do with the Amphenol or other brand
they are marked with.
