Pacific Aerials P1045 PL259 Connector Plug & Reducer

Pacific Aerials P1045 PL259 (UHF Male) Connector Plug & Cable Reducer

The Pacific Aerials P1045 is a high-grade, PL259 (UHF Male) coaxial connector plug equipped with a cable reducer adaptor, designed for termination onto marine VHF radios, AIS transponders, HF single-sideband (SSB) transceivers, and commercial land-mobile radio (LMR) equipment. Engineered for dual-cable sizing versatility, the connector fits thick 10.3 mm (0.405 in) heavy-duty cables (such as RG-213 and RF400/LMR400) directly, while the included threaded reducer sleeve enables precise, mechanically sound termination onto smaller 5 mm (0.200 in) cables like RG-58U and RG-58CU.

Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a silver/gold-plated center pin, the P1045 delivers maximum signal transfer, ultra-low insertion loss, and continuous impedance stability (50 Ω) up to 300 MHz. Its rugged knurled coupling nut ensures a tight, vibration-proof connection to standard SO239 female deck sockets and marine radio rear panel jacks.

Key Features

• Dual-Cable Size Compatibility: Directly accommodates 10 mm RG-213 / RF400 cables, or converts via the included reducer to accept 5 mm RG-58 coaxial cable.

• Nickel-Plated Brass Housing: Heavy nickel plating protects against atmospheric oxidation, saltwater degradation, and contact tarnishing.

• Low Insertion Loss: High-conductivity center pin maintains RF signal integrity across marine VHF (156-162 MHz) and HF bands.

• Knurled Threaded Sleeve: Non-slip outer collar allows hand-tightening or tool-assisted torquing onto SO239 bulkhead sockets.

• Solder-On Termination: Threaded twist-on cable entry with solderable center pin for permanent, low-resistance electrical connections.
