  • High Quality connectors, as supplied by us to discerning Radio Hams, at radio rallies up and down the country.
  • These are not cheap, but then again they won’t fall apart after a couple of uses!
  • Utilising the best components – nickel plated brass body, paxolin and PTFE insulators ETC.
  • To Suit  RG58U, LMR195, etc. Coaxial Cable.
  • These RF coaxial connectors have a threaded coupling, and this prevents them from being removed accidentally. It also enables them to be tightened sufficiently to enable a good low resistance connection to be made between the two halves. The thread for the UHF connector is a 5/8 inch 24tpi UNEF standard. 

    PL259 RF connectors come in several sizes: for thick and thinner coaxial cable, the one for sale here is for the thinner types RG58U, LMR195, etc. . Typically the larger sized version of the PL259 would be used with RG-8/U or RG-9/U while the smaller versions are more suited to cables including RG-58/U. The basic connector remains the same, but the cable entry region is modified for the relevant type of coax cable. Thin coaxial cables are often used for short runs or ‘patch’ leads but not for long runs as the thinner cables have a higher loss than thicker ones. When a thin coax cable variety is needed, PL259 plugs are commonly used with a “reducer” to adapt the large cable entry hole in the plug to the thinner cable. It is also interesting to note that the term “PL259” originally referred to one specific mechanical design, although now it is a more generic term referring to a UHF male connector (plug).
