7/8 EIA Flange to UHF female

Z

Zefron

I'm looking for a coupler that matches at 7/8 EIA flange to a UHF female. I know they were made at one time. Does anyone have one of these laying around or know where I can get one? I've scoured the web but can't find it. Otherwise, I'll settle for a used 7/8 EIA flange to N female
Thanks for the help
 
Tessco.com. If they still are made. Trouble replacing a connector at 250 feet.
 
7/8th or 1 5/8th to N are much more common; you can then use a $5 adapter to go down to a UHF female if you need to.
 
I have used uhf connectors and find that anything current, non amphenol, always tends to fall apart. Be careful.

Most 7/8" EIA flanged line is 50 ohms, but a UHF connector normally is 75 ohms. Don't know if this is important for your application.
 
"UHF' as in PL-259 male/SO-239 female? Commonly called UHF?
Never saw a 75 ohm one... although I'm sure somebody makes one.
Holding a Radio Shack CB in my hand with one as the RF output marked 50ohm.

When television first started, the video distribution was 75-ohm coaxial and connectors were PL-259/SO-239 (called UHF). TV video is still 75-ohms although BNC connectors have become the standard (with "video" now including black&whites, color, serial digital, ASI, etc.). BNC connectors for 75-ohm have slightly smaller center pins, just like the difference between 50 or 75 ohm N-connectors.
