[TowerTalk] PL 259 crimp connectors for RG 400

[Mark Spencer]

Hi does anyone have any recent experience buying generic PL 259 style crimp connectors for RG 400 style cable and if so could they share their vendor contract info with me ?

My last few batches of generic connectors have had centre pins which are to small for the RG 400 centre conductor.   I would prefer a generic connector for this application vs a pricey name brand one.   I'm making up some patch cords for portable work and they may only last a for a few outings.   

I'm using generic RG400 cable which may also be part of the issue.   The cable and connectors were sourced from the same vendor.

Plan B is to simply drill out the centre pins of the connectors that I have.   I already have the RG 400 sized ferrules.

Thanks in advance
