Review on Eightwood 10Pcs SMA Male Crimp Right Angle RF Connector For RG316 RG174 LMR100 Coax Cable by Tony Dago

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They work well: my feedback

I bought these to build out 2m/70cm QRP antennas and found that when paired with the Eightwood RG-316 coax, you can solder the center sleeve to roughly 3-4mm of the center conductor and the conductor and insulator will slide into the inner collar of the shield crimp sleeve giving a nice safety keeping the shield from touching the center conductor. Assembly is as easy or easier than a PL-259. I've used these with Baofeng, Retevis, and Yaesu radios with no thread or pin fitment issues.

Pros
  • As described
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for high-frequency applications and could result in poor signal quality
