[TowerTalk] Connector Installation Guide

[Stephen Davis]

Hi all, 

In further discussion of RF Industries connectors, solder or crimps, die sizing and conductor strip lengths, the following 
may be useful to you.  Also, these die sizes and dimensions often will be the same for connectors other than RFI's, but if any doubt, a double check usually can be found on the other mfr. web sites, such as Amphenol, Kings, etc. (we also carry Amphenol).

See the "RFI Assembly Guide"   on our site at:
 
http://www.davisrf.com/articles/index.php

By the way, I am looking for interesting RF tech and ham web sites to note as "Interesting Links" on our DavisRF.com site. Also any RF commercial interesting sites...if you have one or a few favorite sites, would greatly appreciate any referrals to same.   Been years since we updated our link page, and it  is sorely lacking now.    This request might best be responded directly to me vs. a TT posted topic, but use your judgement, and Steve's guideline.   

Cheers, 73,  Steve, K1PEK     cc:  Steve, K7LXC

Last I knew, your price  with us will be less than if you contact RFS directly , same should be true for any connectors they sell.  And, we'd much appreciate your biz.
