Re: D hole plate to fit SO-239 bulkhead hole - SO-239 to BNC conversion


 

Hi Allison,

I have seen a couple of them in soft aluminum that were mounted in a round hole. I don't who installed them but they worked loose withe repeated plug/unplug cycles. They would turn in the hole and then twisted the wires off inside the radios. I don't recall if there were star washers or lock washers used. Probably not. Aluminum comes in grades and the softer aluminum is not very sturdy for radios that are used in mobile or portable operation.

one fall or jump out of the hole.
