I need a parts vendor.

Post by Chazz Layne » Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:54 pm

I'm in need of a couple of "N" male connectors for RG-316 coax... at this point I'd take a crimp or solder version.

I've checked both HRO and HamCity, neither carries this item in stock. Anyone have a reasonably priced (not $14 each :lol: ) and US based vendor I might have missed that would be worth giving a try?



I have tried the Asian market, I believe my parts have been sitting in customs for 3 weeks, and I don't have time to wait on another order... :x

Go figure... about 60 seconds after posting this I finally stumbled upon a US vendor with good pricing. I ordered from: http://www.fab-corp.com/

i found that RG-316 coax is a hard to work with. It's so small.

Let us know how it works out.

I was thinking the same thing when I was looking at it, but now that I've put the connectors on I'm amazed how easy it was compared to bigger cable (like RG58). Once I was done stripping it, I found it easier to work with because there wasn't so much wire getting "in the way" of soldering the connections. :mrgreen:
