Geoffrey S. Mendelson Inscribed thus:

I recently was able to use a crimp on tool for F connectors for RG-6
quad shield coax. To make sure everyone understands, I am in Israel,
and RG-6 quad shield coax is cheap and easy to find.

Any other coax is almost impossible to find. Pl-259 connectors, called
"UHF" connectors here are rare items. I can get them locally, but I
have to special order them and they are expensive. Since I can not see
them before I order them, I am as likely to get nickle plated ones
with phenolic insulation as I am to get any other kind, and once
ordered are not returnable.

BNC to PL-259 adaptors, are easy to get, and can be ordered from a
reliable local souce for a relatively small price. The same with N to
PL-259.

Looking around at the crimp-on F connectors before I ordered them, I
found that you can get crimp on BNC connectors for RG-6 quad shield
coax.

Here's my questions, Note when I say crimp-on, I mean the ones that
crimp from the rear, like commerical F connectors, not the ones that
crimp around the plug. I have never been able to get any of them to
"fit right":

1. Can I connect a 75ohm BNC plug (which is a different size) to a
50oHm BNC socket?

The short answer is yes ! A 75 ohm BNC plug is identical to a 50 ohm
one, save that the male pin in a 75 ohm plug is smaller in diameter.
The other way round, a 50 ohm BNC plug will damage a 75 ohm BNC socket.

2. Are there crimp on 50 ohm BNC plugs which will work with RG6 quad
shield?

Yes. But you have to be careful to get the right sleeve size and
fitting them is not straightforward.

I know there are variations, but most are similar in size.

3. Are there crimp on N connectors that would fit the RG6 quad shield
coax?

There should be, but I'm not certain.

More likely due to the size a crimp on center element that screws
into the plug body?

4. Are there crimp on PL-259 connectors?

Yes ! Spit spit, yuk... I've always had trouble with these even used
indoors. Usually the plating fails and gives intermittent connections

Thanks in advance,

Geoff.

It might pay you to Google "Greenpar, Amphenol, Wellshow, Synergy" and
the like. There is a lot of good data out there.
