Atlantic Radio PL259 UHF PL259 Male Crimp Connector for RG8, RG213, and LMR400 The Atlantic Radio PL259 LMR400 is a professional-grade UHF PL-259 male connector designed for securely terminating large-diameter coaxial cables such as RG8, RG213, and LMR400. This connector is crucial for creating high-performance, low-loss feedlines for mobile and base station antenna installations. Engineered with a commercial-grade body and barrel, this 3-piece connector uses a crimp-on ferrule for the braid and requires solder for the center conductor, ensuring a robust and electrically superior termination. The gold-plated contacts guarantee optimal signal transfer and excellent resistance to corrosion, providing a dependable connection up to 4 GHz. Key Features UHF PL-259 Male Connector: The industry-standard plug for connecting mobile and base station radios to antennas and feedlines. Crimp-on Ferrule Termination: Utilizes a crimp method for securing the coaxial cable braid, providing a strong, durable mechanical connection. Solder Center Conductor: Requires soldering the center conductor for a precise, low-loss electrical connection that maximizes signal integrity. Wide Cable Compatibility: Designed for large Outer Diameter (OD) cables, including RG8, RG213, RG214, LMR400, and Belden 9913. Gold-Plated Contacts: Ensures optimal signal transfer efficiency and long-term protection against oxidation and corrosion. Compatibility RG8 RG213 LMR400 RG214 Belden 9913 Benefits Maximum Signal Integrity: The combination of gold-plated contacts and soldered center conductor minimizes insertion loss, ensuring maximum RF power transmission. Superior Durability: Commercial-grade brass body and rugged construction ensure the connector withstands physical stress and harsh outdoor environments. Versatile Application: Ideal for high-power VHF/UHF applications, as well as use in amateur radio and industrial setups requiring heavy-duty cabling. Reliable Termination: The crimp-and-solder method provides one of the most mechanically and electrically stable terminations available for thick coaxial cables. Warranty 1-year manufacturer's warranty
