MOOKEERF 10 Pack PL259 Male Crimp Coax Connector,SO239 UHF PL-259 Crimp Coax Connector for LMR400/RG8/RG8U/RG213 Cable

I used these connectors to terminate a couple runs of LMR400DB that I ran between the house and the shack. These were surprisingly easy to work with and fit perfectly with the LMR400DB and its big fat solid copper center conductor. I crimped the center pin and it feels very solid. Added bonus, the heat shrink they provide will fit over the entire PL-259 connector so you can add them on after you crimp.

I needed a few PL-259s in a hurry for patch cable that isn't going to be permanent. These are not Amphenol, but they are not half bad. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, considering what I paid. Amazon had them on my doorstep very quickly, and that was when I needed them, quickly. All things considered, these were a great purchase.

Pretty rock solid connectors, I use a hydraulic crimper, gives me factory style crimps which do not pull out ever. Hand ratcheting crimpers work good but will not compare with a hydraulic crimper. I silver solder my center pins and then crimp and heat shrink.

It’s difficult to work with LMR 400 (direct bury) because of its rigidity. These make the task much easier by eliminating the need to work with a hot soldering iron while manipulating the heavy coax. The design is solid and the quality is good. The reasonable price doesn’t hurt either.

Just what I needed
