I looked at the specs for Amphenol 83-1SP connectors on Mouser and the center pin is silver plated but the shell plating is nickel. What is the Amphenol part number for PL-259's with silver plated shells ? Bob K6UJ On Oct 12, 2011, at 12:03 AM, Jim Brown wrote: On 10/11/2011 9:53 PM,

I believe the Mouser description is incorrect. The Amphenol UHF catalog at: http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/CatalogPages/UHF.pdf clearly shows the 83-1SP as having silver body plating while the plating on the 83-1SP-1050 is nickel. That said, I have never had any trouble soldering to the

Hi Bob, I use the 83-1SP's also and they are a silver plated shell. I believe the information on the Mouser product page is incorrect. The true Amphenol Product Details are here: http://www.amphenolrf.com/record.asp?N=0sid=4E94D88014383CFFR=083-1SP Andy VK4KY -- View this message in context:

Pete, Thanks for the catalog reference. I see now, the 83-1SP is the PL-259 with both body and pin silver plated. (and with the 1050 prefix has nickel body) I wasn't having any success in trying to figure it out. tnx es 73, Bob K6UJ On Oct 12, 2011, at 12:59 PM, Pete Michaelis - N8TR

Jim is correct. I also use only Amphenol PL-259 type connectors, and buy them in 100 or 200 lots. I use the astro-plate version, which take solder easily, and is a bit less expensive than the full silver plate version. (The center pin is still silver plated). I think the part number
