DX Engineering Feedpoint Connectors
DX Engineering Feedpoint Connectors provide a direct transition from coaxial cable to feedpoint for Yagi, Loop Fed Arrays (LFA), Rotatable Dipoles and other antennas that do not have a coaxial connector. Three Feedpoint Connector types are available; SO-239 UHF Female, Type-N Female and 7-16 DIN Female. Each Feedpoint Connector (FPC) features silver-soldered solid tinned-copper 12 AWG wire leads to the connector, which is epoxy potted into a plastic housing, 1.573 inch square and 0.787 inch deep, for a weather-sealed direct feedpoint connection. Of course, additional weatherproofing should be applied to the male to female connector junction, as is typically suggested. DX Engineering Feedpoint Connectors' two wire leads are about 4 in. each, for connection to balanced driven elements of beams and rotatable dipoles on which a coaxial connector does not exist. A longer length of wire is easily soldered to these tinned wires, if required, but increasing connection spacing drives up feedpoint impedance and increases the possibility of mismatch. FPCs are ideal for antennas, especially phased antenna pairs or multiples, on which a coaxial cable ferrite RF bead choke is required at the feedpoint, in place of a traditional enclosed balun. DXE-FPC units do not have mounting clamps, straps or holes. They are intended to be supported by the coax cable attachment to the boom or mast and by the connections to the antenna. An appropriate center insulator kit, such as the DXE-UWA-KIT and coaxial cable strain relief, DXE-CSR213-1, can accommodate the use of Feedpoint Connectors SO-239 UHF Female, Type-N and 7-16DIN for specialized and high power wire antennas, also accommodating a ferrite RF Bead Choke on the RG-213U size coax cable, 0.405 in. diameter.

DX Engineering Boom Element Plates
DX Engineering Boom Element Plates are used to build long-boom monoband directional antennas for the standard bands, 20 through 6 meters. They are made from a very strong 3/8 in. thick insulating material, each predrilled for specific DX Engineering saddle clamps and sized dependent upon band and element type, driven or parasitic. They accommodate the mounting of aluminum antenna elements to a 3-inch boom for special beam antenna kits. This series of insulated plates have no hardware; they are component parts used in the DXE-EBB Element to Boom Bracket Kits which include one plate and the appropriate sizes and number of saddle clamps, depending upon band and element type. DX Engineering Antenna Element Tubing Kits, Element to Boom Bracket Kits, and Antenna Boom Tubing Kits are each sold separately.
