Default N power connector rating?

hi

Just wondering a few things

I see the center pin on a typical N connector is pretty small

How much power could it hold at HF and also uhf/vhf
frequencies? Assuming a modern day high quality N connector??


snip

The Bird 43 Wattmeter has Type N connectors on it. The Bird web site says,
"Accurate CW field power measurement over 450 kHz to 2.7 GHz and 100 mW to
10 KW."

That's good enough for me to say "10 KW."
