"Quick-connect" style to N female adapter for Bird (and similar) wattmeter line sections

We are proud to offer these brand new adapters (picture on the left) which fit the Bird Electronics (and similar types such as Struthers, Coaxial Dynamics, etc.) wattmeter line sections (sometimes called "pick-ups"). One side is the quick-connect style male pin which plugs into the line section, the other is type N female. Our adapters are beautifully made, featuring the finest quality nickel-plated solid brass body , with high quality teflon dielectric and GENUINE SILVER-PLATED BERYLLIUM COPPER center pin! This is extremely important, since beryllium copper is what makes the contact fingers "springy" (unlike plain copper or brass) so that they will maintain tight contact with the inside of the line section insertion after insertion. Non-beryllium copper fingers bend inward and stay bent (no springyness) and quickly lose contact, risking your expensive equipment! In comparative tests, our line hipot tested 600+ volts HIGHER than Bird branded of the same type. Internal contact with the line section was also tighter for lower loss.

With our new adapter, (our stock number i9200) you can use the VERY readily available BNC male / BNC male RG-58 cables (very inexpensive) to place your indicating meter almost anywhere you want! Just cut off the other cable end and separate the center conductor from the braid.

Connect center conductor to terminal on back of meter, and braid to terminal on back of meter, and you are"good to go".

Excellent quality, brand new. Our stock # i9200.   Price: $9.00 each (Order Now!)
