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?? The other thing i pondered is that it seems the don't make Pl259/so239 connectors for hardline, so what do guys use typically for higher power DIN? thanks |

I don't know what you mean by 'hard line,' but 259/239 take legal power and all I know everyone uses on RG8/ and up with legal power. Marv |

Marv At higher frequencies and/or long runs the RG8 is a poor choice. |

Jerry KD6JDJ "Welcome to Southwest Microwave You have requested a page that is either obsolete or has moved. Click here for our complete Product Catalog listing." I think the connector can handle more power than the cable. |

One thing further- IF you check, you will see that the Physical
Size of a BNC (minus the connector locking outer ring) is the same size as the N fitting! The "N" male will plug into a "BNC" female,the BNC without its locking ring will plug into an "N"female! There are temporary connectors to take advantage of this factor, for testing (not permanent) connectors ! As info, Jim NN7K ml wrote: In article , "Jerry" wrote: "Jerry" wrote in message ...
