Two points here:

As much as you may dislike, disagree or hate a product, a culture or a country, racial slurs such as chink, wop, box head etc does NOT have any place on this or any forum. There are a whole host of immigrants that are now citizens of our respective countries that come from a huge and diverse religious and racial background. And unless you are indigenous, you and your family and friends are immigrants what ever time period ago.

Please refrain from using that language.

The other point has already been stated, these products, knock offs or not, are there because the business leaders, businesses and private individuals have voted with their wallets for the cheap off shore versus home grown industries' products.

We (as in collective world wide we) have been instrumental in forging China's dominance of products by our own corporate and personal greed.

My personal view is that a lot of move off-shore and other declines
are driven by exceutive bounus being based on short term targets
like increse profit by? or cut costs by Y without any responsibility
for the long the term reputation or survival of the company. This is
aided and abetted by the stock market.
As long as people buy it, other people will continue to make and
sell poor quality and counterfeit goods. The? fashion clothng and
accessories (handbags etc) industry has the same issues.

Sorry you are all so thin skinned. I am sure you applauded the Nazis in
WWII when they practiced their form of warfare upon you. I assure you
there were plenty of slurs then. The times are the same, the methods
different..
And I do not dislike Chinese Americans, or Chinese Germans, and I think
it is wrong to attack them. But I do hate Communist China, they are the
definition of evil. So be smug in your worldliness, all, but I, for one,
have lost 1-1/2 years of my life due to the stinking COVID-19 virus that
the Chi-Comms released on (get ready for it...) the whole world.

And I do not buy Chinese, if there is any choice, and there usually is.
I would rather spend a few more sheckles on stuff made ANYWHERE else.
That goes for Coax adapters, cables etc...
In the mid mid-1990's I wrote a short paper for my friends on how
Walmart (and their predatory practices) were destroying the US economy
(and, BTW, creating China's industrial revolution, Thanks Joe Biden for
voting them into the WTO).
Just to clarify: I am not anti-Chinese, just Anti-Red Chinese. Remember
when the Communists were our enemies?... I do. I working in defense
during the Cold War.?
?
So if I hurt some feelings, well sorry, you can stuff it. So far 6
positives and 2 negatives.

Thank you Ken. I was about to say much the same thing. The use of slurs
of any kind has no place here.

Thanks again,
Bob

I just dont get it: Why buy quality TE then chintz on the
interconnects? There are plenty of used OSN/Weinschel/Narda
connectors around, even NOS. You save nothing by using chink crap,
only enrich the chi-comms.

Quality connectors, when CLEANED & threads lubed. will last your
lifetime, except, of course, when mechanically damaged too much.
Even then, I have repaired them. 5/8-24 tap and die set is $14.00
(type N thread), used by gunsmiths.?USA made stainless steel
microwave adapters, WHEN USED (WORN), are better than cheap gold
plated brass chink ones with dubious "teflon", poor thread
dimensions, and non-concentric pins.?But Hey, its important to save
one dollar cause the social security check is a month away...Poor
economy.? And I hate the Chinese, for their economic and viral
warfare against us.?Jeff KruthIn a message dated 6/16/2021 12:08:17

Hi Fred? changed the Subject to not quality RF connectors so all can
put their comments in

?

Regarding binning connectors? the faults with the cheap Chinese
connecters that I have sent to the bin consist of

Insulation over the canter pin?

offset canter pines male and female??

all above would destroy any mating connecter and possibly cost over
1000 times the cost of the not quality connecter that someone
thought was a good deal

?

Common to have slack BNC outer ring? and? not putting enough tension
on the joint??? also not being able to do up the outer collar

Also Binding threads? and? high frequency connecters that just do
not work in their normal frequency range

?

N to F type adapter


Hi Paul,
i just put 4 adapters N to F type to the bin, because there was no
reliable connection of the center conductor inside the adapter.
I also bought 20 SMA PCB Edge connectors with excessive Teflon
isolating material over the inner tulip.
Also some having burrs at the tulip, which will ruin the plating of
the pin going inside...
Lesson learned.
