[TowerTalk] 7-16 DIN Males for RG-213/214

[David Aslin G3WGN]

I buy mine from RFBat on EBay.  After trying several Chinese suppliers RFBat come out on top for quality and speed of delivery.  Most of my installation is Andrew 7/16 DIN connectors outdoors (also at the demarcation panel then PL259 at the operating bench).  These appear to be equivalent quality: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-16-DIN-Male-Plug-center-O-ring-clamp-RG8-RG213-LMR400-Cable-RF-Connector-/162617754488?hash=item25dcc60378 There is a better price for a box of 10 - eBay item number:172740524247.  
They work well on RG213 and Ecoflex 10; haven't tried them on RG214 which is 0.02" bigger OD - would probably fit with a bit of lubricant on the outer to get the clamp nut on the cable.  
YMMV.  No connection with the company etc.
