Gerald,

## I got a bunch of 7-16 din chassis connectors from this outfit in peabody
mass, forget the name of the place,
well known though. Bought the din crimp type connectors for my 393 coax from
DAVIS RF...along with the crimping tool.
same crimping tool also does a bunch of other size coax cable.
## My make dins for my LMR-1200 DB cames from times microwave, they are clamp
type for the braid only, They used an expanding
ferrule thingy, on the inside of the hollow cu tubing center conductor.
## You can get 7-16 dins for everything from RG-174 / RG-58 /59...to rg
393, rg-6, rg-213, lmr 400-500-600-900-1200-1800.
and every size heliax cable ever made.
## Nobody makes a din to uhf adaptor, only Type N to din. I used a din
male... to type N female adaptor... then a N male to uhf female...as
a quick way to attach test gear /MFJ-259 etc to stuff.
## They also make a 7-16 Din chassis connector..... that is unique, tapered
down at chassis end, such that the 4 x mounting holes are 1 inch square,
the exact same hole pattern as used on a type N female chassis connector......
and also a UHF chassis connector. The idea here of course, is a simple
method to easily convert any former type N female chassis conncetor to a
7-16 din, in minutes flat. Normal 7-16 din chassis female uses a 1.25
inch square flange with a bigger 4 x hole c-c spread than a type N / SO-239.
## and yes you can stuff 20 kw through a 7-16 din.
