[Elecraft] Type "N" connectors

[Jack Smith]

Also, MIL-C-39012 has many qualified N crimp connectors.

for your reading pleasure.


Further these crimp RF connectors appear to be qualified for use on the 
International Space Station from what I can tell (lots of reference 
links to follow).

As I said in the initial post, you must use the correct tool and 
connector and if you do it properly the result will be a high quality 
connection.

And, it isn't a friction fit -- it's actually closer to  cold welding.
