Product Description
UHF-Female SO239 Cable End Crimp Connector RG-8X Coaxial Cable
The ARS-G506-8X - UHF-Female SO-239 Cable End Connector is designed for terminating RG-8X, LMR-240, and other approximately 0.240-inch OD 50-ohm coaxial cables. This cable-end connector provides a secure mechanical connection and mates with standard UHF Male PL-259 connectors commonly used in amateur radio, CB, RF, and communications applications.
Constructed with a silver-plated body and silver-plated beryllium copper contacts, this connector provides good conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength for demanding RF applications.

Installation
This connector is intended for installation directly onto the end of compatible coaxial cable. Proper cable preparation and the appropriate coaxial crimping tools are required for a reliable termination. Follow the recommended stripping and crimp dimensions for the specific cable and connector combination.
Important Note
The UHF connector family is commonly used for HF and lower-frequency VHF applications. Performance at higher frequencies depends on the specific connector construction, cable, installation quality, and mating components. For outdoor installations, the connection should be properly weatherproofed using appropriate coaxial sealing materials.
A dependable SO-239 cable-end connector for RG-8X and LMR-240 coaxial cable applications where secure mechanical termination and reliable RF connectivity are required.

Would Buy Again
First time soldering the tiny center tip. More PL-259 compared to SO-239 YT videos. Got it done with quality connector and easy crimp ring. Would buy again.
-
Good Fit
The coax end is slightly bigger to accommodate the LMR240 (RG-8X) cable.
-
Good Quality
Consistently good quality production. Very timely shipping and delivery.
-
Great Connectors
I wish they had the other type in the female SO-239, but this worked great. Must have the crimpers.
