[NLRS] Connector source(s) for UT-141?

[Zack Widup]

Hi Scott,

I have been buying SMA solder-on connectors for UT-141 from Mouser for
at least 10 years. Their part number is 523-132100. They are
inexpensive because they use the center conductor of the cable as the
center pin. Note - they are easy to install once you get the hang of
it. After you've cut the shield and insulation to expose the proper
length of center conductor, and soldered the connector on, take a file
and file the end of the center conductor to a point so it fits into
the female connector easily. You'll probably have to trim some excess
teflon insulation after soldering too because it tends to expand when
heated.

I'll bet I've put on at least 50 of these things by now.

I've never used any type N to .141 connectors but it appears Mouser
has them, too. Their part # 523-172133 looks like what you want. I
bought some 2 foot lengths of .141 with a SMA on one end and one of
these on the other end for $2 apiece a few years ago at a hamfest.
