WARNING: We have made a tutorial for those who use standard PL259 connectors, although we highly recommend our new generation ones with double sealing that ensures a better protection against infiltration of water, humidity and condensation.
Some of you, based on old habits, matured in the old days of RG 213/U and RG8, (made with compact Polyethylene and 66% velocity ratio),
WILL OBJECT THAT WE HAVE NOT WELDED THE BRAID.
WELL WE DID IT DELIBERATELY!
From studies carried out, we have in fact experienced that in order to be able to weld the tin on the external hole of the PL 259 type connector, it is necessary to bring the temperature of the connector itself to about 300°C. This certainly does not damage the Teflon of a good quality connector, but can easily deform the expanded Polyethylene dielectrics which melt at 100-110 degrees C.
To give you excellent impedance stability an optimized VSWR, and exciting attenuations, M&P dedicates great efforts to maintain the tolerances of the dielectric diameters within a few hundredths of a millimeter.
Therefore, bringing the connector to about 300 ° C, to continue an old tradition, means giving up the very high performance of ANY modern expanded Polyethylene coaxial cable, with a velocity ratio of 84-87%. (depending on the models).
OBVIOUSLY WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THESE OLD GENERATION CONNECTORS!
We strongly recommend the Messi & Paoloni watertight compression connectors, specifically designed to take full advantage of our products, reduce the risks of thermal stress, while maintaining the exceptional shielding efficiency typical of all our models.

Thanks, that worked very nicely. It will be interesting to see if the braid connection is good enough, over time.

Referring to your video, if you will angle the solder from the left instead of the right, then you can avoid getting solder on the outside of the center pin as you did.

[@sidneycavalcant]

Are the holes on the side of the connector for viewing the mesh?

[@aeroscout8409]

Thanks Airborne.. Garryowen!!!!!

[@chrismosquad1056]

Love the music! Very inspirational! I feel like I can do this! 😎💪🏻

Jammer dat ze de echte plug niet meer Verkopen die was niet van Plachtick maar bakkeliet die kocht ik in de jaren 70 in Rotterdam bij een Amerikaanse zaak die er niet meer is de plug had geen demping was geweldig

[@stephenwilliams3305]

Thank you. Concise and effective.

Curious that they made the distance between the center conductor and shield so short by cutting the dialectic in this way. Way too close for comfort for me anyway.

[@Aimsport-video]

What M&P Connector will work with RG8x? Any of the new type?

[@josephknudson5097]

Thank you for your help. God bless you.

[@frankbaron1608]

if you were meant to solfer the braid then the chaiis of the plug would not have been made is such a way that you have to sand it to solder the braid correctly.

Color coted rca jacks great 👍 for dual antenna systems like green 💚 to beams ♥️ for diploe yellow for long wire easy peasy 🎉rca switch box ☑️☑️☑️

[@arcailecorp]

Good work nice job 😊😊😊

[@ado75]

Thank you

[@MrDerickg123]

How a DIY video should be! Any info on those scissors and the gloves?

[@MessiPaoloniSRLAncona]

Hello Sir, thank you for your comment! You can find more info about the special coax scissors here: messi.it/en/catalogue/accessories/special-coax-scissors.htm We're going to make soon a specific video, explaining every utility of our scissors :)

[@charlesriley9426]

What tools are being used in this video? I would like to find them

[@21kiwi24]

Coaxial cutter scissors. There are more basic and effective coax cutters though, cheaper the scissor type

[@WogChilli]

Cant for the life of me screw my pl259 on with the rg58 braid folded back, it seems too tight. Any advice from anyone?

[@usernamemykel]

Windex - like in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

[@WogChilli]

@@usernamemykel I'll give it a try 😉

[@chadrides914]

what do you mean? like simply spray it with windeX?@@usernamemykel

[@sidneycavalcant]

What video can we use to view these new connectors mentioned in the video description?
