Originally intended for use as a video connector in radar applications, the UHF coaxial connector was developed as a general-purpose unit for use in low-frequency systems from 0.6 - 300 MHz. Invented in the 1930s for use in the radio industry, UHF is an acronym for Ultra High Frequency because 300 MHz was considered high frequency at the time. They can be used when impedance matching is not required.
UHF connectors use threaded coupling. UHF connectors are economical and widely used because of their ease of assembly. The UHF solderable screw-in termination feature does not require a special crimping tool.

View of UHF Connector
Can be Customized for unique material or performance requirements
The connector design was invented in the 1930s for use in the radio industry, and is a shielded form of the "banana plug". It is a widely used standard connector for HF transmission lines on full-sized radio equipment.
Large size threaded couplings are a robust design
The Ultra High-Frequency (UHF) connector is a threaded coaxial connector that was developed in the 1930s by engineers at Amphenol. The UHF connector has individual male and female radio frequency connectors that form a mated connection by thread coupling.
Crimp termination type provides a lower cost method of installation
This is a cost-effective, robust radio-frequency connector that is suitable for general-purpose use.

I bought the wrong format, but works fine for my marine radio. If you need a PL259, make sure you buy the right form factor, they will all work, it's just a matter of wire connections, etc.

Decent for cheap connectors. Many on Amazon are just horrible but, these are pretty good. At least they accept solder and dont melt when you solder them.
I would buy again (in fact I did!)..
