Reddit mentions: The best electrical cam-type connectors

I have the adapter below and I use 50ohm home coax for all of the antennas that I make. If I find something really interesting that I want to look at closer and I'm not getting a good enough signal with my pizza pan antenna, I will make a simple ground plane antenna for that specific frequency. It consists of 4 1/4 wavelength elements. Three are soldered onto a penny, evenly spaced out at 4, 8, and 12 o'clock. I then use a drill and tap the size and threading of a F type barrel and screw the penny onto the barrel and orient it vertically. I have an old slide projector that I took the screen off that extends to about 7.5 feet at the top. The fourth element goes into the center pin of the barrel.

Find a good ruler. I have a short and thin stainless steel ruler that I got from Harbor freight years ago that works great.

When I am cutting my elements I prefer to leave them a little long and then measure & trim them after they are soldered into place. An element off my a few tenths of a millimetre can produce a surprising amount of noise when you've got the gain turned up.

I personally have the nooelec NESDR dongle (Wanted the v3 dongle but it was sold out when I bought mine). Either will work well. My nooelec dongle came with a much heavier gauge cable for the magnet mount antenna than my buddies v3 dongle. However the v3 dongle has an integrated bias tee that can power a LNA while the nooelec dongle does not. Which will probably be the next thing you buy after the bug fully bites you ha ha ha.

It takes a lot of drinking but they fit into wine/liquor bottles with ip65 cable glands something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Plastic-Waterproof-Connectors-Glands/dp/B00841YHHY/ref=asc_df_B00841YHHY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=228763672776&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3089221781606621095&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002019&hvtargid=aud-801381245258:pla-392546892203&psc=1

Just drill a hole in the cork/cap to accomodate the gland and screw it on. Makes a cool fixture. Or string the together for some great outdoor or bar lighting.

The rtl-sdr.com brand rtlsdrs are one of the best on the market. Coax Colinears are also very easy to make. Get an F-type to SMA adapter and hook everything up with common CATV RG6 from the hardware store and you're all set.

I found these on amazon it’s not factory but I think it will accomplish the same goal.

Zwave dimmer, SmartThings and Google Nest are a little beyond the scope of the OP’s question but easy stuff to google.

You'd need to Jerry rig a 12v connector for them. You could make one out of a Molex connector, and tap into it with a couple of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F3Y7YNF Kind of a cheesy RGB setup, but yeah, you could make them work if so inclined. Easy peasy.

No splicing the factory harness... but it does require splicing into two of the wires that connect to the button. The connectors snap over two of the wires to the button (unless I can find a connector that matches the button connector).

Power comes via an add-a-fuse connector, the ground connection works on any screw / connection to the vehicle body, and the button wires are tapped via snap on T-Tap connectors.

An additional benefit is that only changes the startup state - the button still works to turn it on \ off if there's ever a situation where you wanted it on.

You'll need to use something like this to make your splices.

No problem. Take the hdmi cable out of the package. Strip about one inch of the black insulation away on both of the ends you cut. You should find 9 pairs of twisted cables. Fortunately they are color coded. Untwist the pairs. Strip 1/4 inch of the insulation off of each colored wire. Now using splice connectors put the corresponding end of each colored wire in the connector and compress it. Repeat for each wire. Now take some electrical tape and wrap everything. Don't be stingy on the tape. Should be good as new. You're welcome.

Yeah what the other guy said. 110. Can't believe I haven't seen one of these before myself.

Was expecting it to be some shitty token ring esq connector spec. But can meet or exceed cat five or CAT6 spec.

What is the use case for these connectors? Looks like online they are for connecting patch panels versus client to switch

You could solder or use these. I've done LED lighting on vehicles and always use them.

They are Gardner Bender push in connectors.
