What a fantastic video! Thank you. The Shakespeare video completely skips over the soldering and as a result closed their comment section. You covered it thoroughly! Bravo.

Great tutorial. Covers everything in detail without wasting time. However to clarify at the end it is infinite resistance meaning there is no connection (short) between the center pin and shield (good).

I have never been very good with soldering. I envy people that can do it so well and make it look so easy. I could not even begin to think about trying to "fill up the center pin" with solder, let alone the rest of the good job you did.

Same...I make a mess of it every time. I noticed that he has a very high speed low drag iron though, that probably helps.

Pardon me, there is resistance, infinite resistance between the the shield and center conductor.

I spent an hour looking for a video that showed how to use a reducer. Eventually, i gave up and did it my own way. It seems to be OK, but i wish that i had found this video 19 hours ago.

I only have a small voltage tester, could I check for continuity or lack of continuity instead of resistance

Very helpful video. If I'm working with tinned wire (Ancor), do I still need to tin the wire before inserting it? It looks like you're working with tinned wire too.
@stevelyle30803 жыл бұрын
For your resistance test - the needle wasn't showing 0 resistance, it was showing infinite resistance - i.e., no electrical path between the shield and center pin, which is what you want.

What's the most likely cause if you DO get continuity to the center post? Sloppy soldering? Too much heat melts the dielectric? Adapter too tight?

You are looking for whether or not you have any continuity between the the leads. In this case, you are looking for infinite resistance or and open line reading of infinite ohm between your two conductors in the coaxial cable. The mesh is one conductor and the center insulated wire is another conductor. When finished, we want zero continuity between the two conductors. Zero resistance or zero ohms means perfect continuity, we are looking for the opposite, we want infinite ohms. In the present case, we are looking for infinite ohms or an open line between the two conductors in the coaxial. So it is erroneous to say we are looking for zero resistance(ohms) when measuring whether or not we have continuity between the two conductors. We want infinite resistance which means the two conductors are absolutely insulated from each other on not sharing any electrical path. If done right, there should be no resistance and infinite ohms or an 'OL' or open line condition.

El blindaje del cable coaxial debe de ser de cobre o cobre estañado pues si es con blindaje con alambre de aluminio nunca lo podra soldar , ademas el cable coaxial con blindaje de aluminio tiene pesima resistencia a la corroción en ambiente marino.

Hi, Kurstin. There are also now crimp-on connectors available, that do not require soldering. The reason they do not come connected is so that smaller holes can be drilled in the boat's top, or through any bulkheads through which the cable must be routed. Also, pulling a cable through a boat, and pipe work, is made more difficult if the connector is already on.
@jamesgeorge1709 Жыл бұрын
I hate solder connectors I prefer crimp on connectors much easier to use and usually a better connection.
