Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cable jacket and shield secure into the connector?
The cable shield and outer jacket are clamped into place as the rear threaded hex nut tightens against the connector body, creating a tight mechanical and electrical ground bond.
How is the center contact pin attached to the conductor?
The gold-plated center pin solders directly onto the center conductor of the coaxial cable before being seated into the PTFE dielectric sleeve.
Before quick-crimp tools took over the shop, a threaded clamp connector and a soldering iron were all it took to build a bulletproof RF run. Put this vintage Trompeter hardware on your bench and finish the connection right.
