PL259 Solder Connector Plug with Reducer for RG8X Coaxial Coax Cable 10Pack

Buena la calida de los conectores

I am not familiar with this connector and I’m not exactly sure how to attach the shield but otherwise they look like good connectors

Easy to install, Be sure to use a large soldering Iron to solder the cable as a small iron will take too long causing the center pin to warp. Recommend at least 140 watt iron.

1 out od 10 were good. The center pin on them was shortest to ground.

Be careful when crafting a jumper or fastening one of these PL259's to coax. If you linger too long on the center conductor when soldering it to the PL259 the cheap plastic dielectric will melt and loosen. Use your own jugdement.

Work great with coax wire in radio station.

At first look I thought these were OK. After making 6 jumpers with RG8 and having to resolder 4 of them and throw 1 in the trash I don't like them.I have been soldering for over 50 years, so it's not my skill set that's lacking. The plating on the shells will take solder, but you have to get it hot enough that it melts the insulator and dielectric in the cable. It's not as bad as cadmium playing but nowhere near as good as zinc or silver.Same story with the center pin, all the cables I made had intermittent contact in the center conductor.The insulator is brown, so I thought "good, Bakelite."Wrong. It's thermoplastic and starts to bubble and flow just about the time the solder melts.All in all, pretty disappointing. I'll have to make them work because I'm retired and don't have money to throw away.Nothing for me from now on but the silver plated ones with Teflon insulators.

Very nice connectors, Worked well
