[HCARC] SO-239 and Female N Connector Question

Thu Oct 16 19:56:36 EDT 2014

It seems to me that it would be mainly the mechanical considerations of mounting.  One big hole versus one big hole plus 4 small holes.  Sheet metal work can be tedious.

Subject: [HCARC] SO-239 and Female N Connector Question

Apparently the Reflector didn’t like my sending it an email from N5BAA at WCC.net vs this address, so here goes again:

“I see two types of female Coax connectors (there are both kinds for N as well as SO-239) – one is the panel mount one that has a square piece of metal with 4 holes and the other is one that has a narrow flange on it and a lock nut which holds it in place from the reverse side.  Is there a difference when one is used vs the other or is there a different function for each that I am not aware of???”
