[TowerTalk] Amphenol website

[Herb Schoenbohm]

Oddly enough after 50 years of struggle in learning how to put on coax 
connectors I finally found a new Chinese coax connector on Ebay that can 
be obtained for 213, RG-8A and LMR-400. It comes with water proof 
gaskets sealing rings and is solder-less including tip. Models for Type 
N or PL-259  No special tools are needed and the price under $2.00 per 
unit.  I have never seen this design before and so far I am very much 
impressed by not having to melt the inside of the cable when applying 
solder through the holes on the convention PL-259.  For years I have 
been pre-tinning the braid and after it cools cutting with a small pipe 
cutter before attempting to solder the holes. But now I can grab a bunch 
of these and even do replacements of the tower if required without 
heat.  At first I bought them for emergencies...like the coax that 
always fails during a contest. Now I use them exclusively even for 
inter-shack RG-213 jumpers.
