Permatex dielectric grease works superb on the threads of coax
connectors....and just a tiny, ultra thin layer on the center pin of the
male plug.
On bigger cables, like LMR-1200DB, and 7/8" heliax etc, the only
connectors that are available are type N..and 7-16 DIN. I gave up on
Type N years ago. Everything here is 7-16 DIN. Smaller cables like
213-U use UHF connectors. RG-393 uses 7-16 DIN.
A type N connector on LMR-1200DB, or 7/8" heliax looks pretty silly, with
it's puny BNC sized pin.
Make sure any connector is the silver plated type, with teflon dielectric.
