Review on πŸ”Œ 2-Pack PL259 Male to Female Right Angle 90 Degree Adapter for CB, Ham, Amateur, and Marine Radios by Janet Scollins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I do NOT recommend these connectors - they do not provide reliable grounding.

I just bought 6 pairs for a project. But I immediately noticed that the SO-239 connectors are still very loose even with the connectors tightened. Joining the stem on one side of the corner does not provide full continuity on the other side. We put them on the table and checked with the VOM to check the continuity of the connectors while they're installed - and of course if you wiggle the connectors (even if they're fully tightened on both screws) the continuity is broken. . Movement. some of the connected devices, etc. However, you CANNOT expect these ports to maintain that continuity - they just won't. Connectors 3 we examined had very cold crystallized solder joints that cannot be trusted. Very poor quality despite the seemingly muscular build. Not a wise purchase. We returned all 12 plugs.

Pros
  • Connector 1: UHF PL259 connector; Connector 2: UHF SO239 jack; Connection resistance: 50 ohms;
Cons
  • Expandable
