The 83-798A has a Teflon insulator - this is what makes it different. They're all equivalent for low frequency, low power (<200w) work which I presume your bandpass filters will be.
"High-End"? What design? -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Brett Howard Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 8:22 AM To: elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] SO-239 Connector Selection Ok figured I'd ask here and see if someone had some input on the differences here. Hopefully someone has done more design with these than I... My application is that I'm looking for connectors to install on some high end home made band-pass filters. 83-1R; http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-RF/83-1R-SO-239/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMt qi3rrGzC6kucWGwVoNS6TyriIimuNw9A%3d 83-1R-RFX: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-RF/83-1R-RFX/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtqi3 rrGzC6kqBNVAfbUIcAaUNmqqZ3zpA%3d 83-798: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-RF/83-798/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtqi3rrG zC6kptFUq3vT%252bWoMcHyGEmWyaU%3d The 83-1R is a number I've seen a lot in usage and its the connector I'm leaning toward. It is also the cheapest of the 3. I know they are all going to be good connectors but is there any benefit to going with the other two versions? I believe that the RFX version is a commercial version of the same thing (at only 20 cents more) but I don't know what the difference is. Finally the 83-798 claims to be an SO-239A connector... I tried doing a search for SO-239 vs SO-239A and in a quick gander didn't turn up much... Any input would be appreciated.
