A few weeks ago, there was an excellent thread concerning connectors on one
of the forums. I didn't see it mentioned so I was wondering if anyone has
tested or subjected the 2-piece "N" connectors to trial by fire? High
Sierra is the only place I've seen them----

The price is reasonable.
Is there a reason yoy want the shield soldered? I'm sue they have
existed but In well over 50 years, these are the first N connectors I've
seen where the shield is soldered. All the others clamped, or crimped.
I use strictly crimp for N type.
For UHF connectors, I use crimp, clamp, and solder depending on the
cable and use.
To prevent excess solder on the center connectors, heat the pin pointed
up. touch solder to the open end of the pin (bottom) and as soon as it
starts to melt, move to apply solder to the wire and let the pin suck it up.
