It terminates RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302, and 393 cable types — the standard family of 50-ohm-ish coax used in HF and VHF transmitter installations. The connector is rated to 300 MHz maximum frequency and 500 V, with a non-constant impedance along the interface. This is not a precision 50-ohm microwave connector; it is a field-proven UHF design for applications where the impedance match is secondary to mechanical robustness and ease of soldering. The dielectric is phenol formaldehyde (phenolic). The threaded fastening type provides a secure mechanical connection. ## Solder vs Crimp — Choosing Between 83-1SP-15RFX and 083-8SP-1006 The closest functional peer to the 83-1SP-15RFX is the 083-8SP-1006, which is also an Amphenol RF UHF plug for the same RG-8 cable group, with the same nickel-plated brass body, silver center contact, 500 V rating, and 300 MHz frequency limit. If you already have a crimp tool and die set for RG-8 ferrules, the 083-8SP-1006 will save bench time. If you prefer the reliability of a soldered shield connection or don't want to buy a crimp tool, the 83-1SP-15RFX is the straightforward choice.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF 83-1SP-15RFX UHF Plug, PL-259, RG-8, 300 MHz","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF 83-1SP-15RFX UHF plug, male pin, PL-259 style.
