ER-587 / 9 UHF MALE -RG59

High-Power Link: UHF Male Connector for RG59

Standardize your RF connections with the Connectivity Series. This specialized UHF Male Connector (PL-259) is engineered with a specific internal diameter to fit RG59 coaxial cables. It is the definitive solution for adapting 75-ohm video-style cables for use with radio equipment, antennas, and signal generators.

Why the UHF Male for RG59 is a Technical Essential:

• Precision Fit for RG59: Specifically designed to accommodate the slightly larger diameter of RG59 cable compared to RG58, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical bond.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a nickel-plated brass body that provides exceptional durability and shields against EMI/RFI interference.

• Gold-Plated Center Pin: Features a gold-plated contact to ensure a low-resistance path for your signal and long-term protection against corrosion. 

• Knurled Grip: The outer coupling nut is textured for easy hand-tightening, allowing for quick and secure attachments to any SO-239 female socket.

Where to Use It:

• Custom Radio Setups: Use existing RG59 cable stock to create patch leads for CB radios, Ham radio tuners, or low-frequency RF projects.

• Laboratory Testing: Ideal for connecting signal generators or older frequency counters to testing jigs.

•  Technician Toolkits: A vital adapter for field technicians who need to bridge the gap between video-standard cabling and radio-standard hardware.

Key Features:

• High-Temperature Insulator: Utilizes a heat-resistant internal dielectric that maintains its shape even during high-heat soldering or high-power transmission.

•  Soldering or Crimp Versatility: Designed with a large solder window for the shield and a hollow center pin for easy core termination.

Technical Specs:

•  Product Type: UHF Male (PL-259) Connector

• Included: 1x UHF Male Plug

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

1.  Can I use 75-ohm RG59 for 50-ohm Radio systems? Technically, yes, but for high-power transmitting (like Ham or CB radio), the impedance mismatch might cause a higher SWR (Standing Wave Ratio). It is perfectly fine for receiving or low-power signal distribution.

2. How do I terminate the shield? Most technicians prefer to solder the braided shield through the "windows" in the connector body. This provides the strongest mechanical and electrical connection for the ground.

3. Will this fit on RG6 cable? No. RG6 cable is thicker than RG59.
