PL259 Male Crimp Connector, UHF SO239 Crimp Coax Connector for RG8X/LMR240/ 4D-FB/ CNT240/ RG8 Mini Coaxial Cable(Pack of 10)

My initial thinking was that the crimp barrel is too small to allow pushing over the RG8X shield while still braided. I found that I had to undo the shield, smooth it out straight and trim the excess length to slide the barrel over the assembly before crimping. What I was doing was pushing the connector assembly too far. The inner shield tube was pushed under the shield and the outer sheath thus increasing the diameter the barrel had to go over.After realizing my cockpit mistake, I find they are very good.. I like the small opening for the center conductor -- makes it easier to solder without slopping solder on the outside of the center pin. In spite of the issue, I've already bought another group of ten. Like someone else stated -- they are a lot like the DX Engineering connectors. The only thing better about the DXE version is that they are silver plated.

Not much I can really say about these crimp connectors. They aren't the super high end model, but when DYI comes into play, especially for the first time, they did just fine!For the money, great value.For the ease of use, well that's an experience thing. I was able to successfully put an end on a damaged feedline of mine, and the connection is working. I don't have super high end equipment to test and vet the feedline, but it works! To me, that is all that matters. No major loss and/or audible interference.I went 5/5 on the rating, but there are some drawbacks. First, the heat shrink sleave could be longer. Second, it does take some getting used to performing this task. But again, that is more on the operator than the product.All in all, I would buy them again. I just hope I don't have a need for ten (10) ends, except for perhaps making niche cables for the shack and portable station!

They worked just fine for me, and were easy to solder to. You will need a crimp tool.73KG5OMX

These are not expensive and it shows. For lower power indoor use for jumpers, these should be fine.

Got these after accidentally purchasing the wrong ones. Important to make sure you have the right size for your coax! Whoops. Crimped on nice and easily, soldered the core, and they're doing exactly what I need.

Good quality connectors for making vehicle and jumper coax. Comes with heat shrink. But, be sure to get correct size for the type of coax you have.

Fast delivery

Save up and get the DXEngineering connectors, especially if you have DXEngineering coax. These connectors have been nothing but frustration. Ferrule too small. Hard to get center conductor through the hole. Just overall a PITA.

Me gustarón porque a veces es dificil conseguir este tipo de conectores PL. Además lo hace más sencillo venir en paquete de 10 unidades. Fueron muy utiles para mi. Recomendado
