Review on πŸ”Œ DHT Electronics Industrial Electrical and Wiring & Connecting Coaxial Adapter - Female by Rob Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Let me tell you if you are looking for a right angle connector for Pl-259 you have found it.

Yes, it does exactly what it says on the tin. This is a PL-259 SO-239 Right Angle Connector that really gave me a much needed right angle twist. Is it expensive for what it is? I mean, yes, probably most of the cost is shipping, and if you're lucky enough to have a ham shop nearby, you'll save the $2 you lose on shipping by buying this part online. But if you don't, I'm not sure it actually gets cheaper for anything. To clarify: SO-239 is the default connection to PL-259. If you're new to radios you might never have come across the term because they're almost always hardwired to your devices, but yeah that's probably the part you need to get around that curve without worrying about crimping your coaxial cable to make cable. .The possibilities are full. It's square metal and helps with tight right turns. What can I say, I'm a bit bored and thought a review would be a good way to pass the time because to clarify. It's just an angled PL-259 connector and if you're worried about your power line losses across the connector when most of the world still uses RG 8x while having a conductor line up to your full wave yagi, the 1000 Watt pumps out 100 meter tower, I'm not sure why you would buy a component from Amazon and not a trusted retailer, but for most of us this part will fill the bill without worrying about that it has an immeasurable impact on the performance of your antenna. 73
