[Elecraft] Array Solutions Lightning Arrestor

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

While N connectors do have some design and impedance advantages, some of us that have lived in extremely cold climates... have seen the center pins pull out of N connectors due to thermal contraction of the center conductor over distance.  A UHF or DIN connector will usually not do that.

N connectors have better weatherproofing. They handle 1500 V instead of 500 V. But I mostly like them better because they are engineered instead of a historical accident. :-)
