Description

A UHF Female Crimp Connector for LMR-240 is designed to terminate Times Microwave LMR-240 (or equivalent) coaxial cable with a secure, low-loss connection. Here’s what you need to know: Key Features: Type: UHF Female (SO-239 / mates with PL-259 male plugs) Connector Style: Crimp-type (some may also include set screws for extra strain relief) Compatible Cable: LMR-240 (0.240“ diameter, 50-ohm, low-loss flexible coax) Center Contact: Silver-plated for optimal conductivity Body Material: Nickel-plated brass or stainless steel for durability Frequency Range: Best for HF/VHF (up to ~300 MHz; not ideal for true UHF above this) Installation Steps: Strip the Cable: Cut the cable cleanly and strip the outer jacket (~1.25” back). Trim the dielectric to expose ~0.25" of the center conductor. Fold back the braided shield over the jacket. Prepare the Connector: Slide the crimp ferrule over the cable. Insert the center conductor into the connector's contact pin (crimp or solder if needed). Slide the connector body over the braid and crimp the ferrule securely. Final Check: Ensure no stray braid strands are shorting the center conductor. Some connectors have set screws for extra strain relief—tighten if available.
