G'day Bob,

I assume RG58 TNC/BNC connectors are fine for RG142, +142 or 400 coax?  I
don't understand why TNC connectors are listed at Aircraft Spruce for
between $35 and $62 each, yet even silver-plated types are avaliable here in
Australia (from RS) for around $10-15.  What am I missing please?

Cheers, Stu

   Yes.

   Not a thing. There are coax connectors that are
   essentially interchangeable but built and qualified
   to different specifications . . . which for our
   purposes doesn't matter. Prices on identical connectors
   can vary widely too depending on the supplier's
   volume, expertise and target customer base.

   When we added those connectors to our wesite catalog
   many moons back, I think I bought them in 100 lots
   for something on the order of 95 cents and sold them
   for $2. The exact came connector was commonly offered
   at $3.50 in single lots. But if you bought a mil-qualified
   connector in small quantities, it could be pretty
   breathtaking without being any 'better' for what you're
   needing to do.
