How can you say this Colin, I use these outside with not problem, you
still have to solder the pin, and when the braid is connected right there
is no way it will come free from the plug, the braid is held in place by
the nut on the back, this is trapped between the nut and the washer if the
nut is done up type enough there is no way it will come free, Ask Bob
Tinney about these I sent him some of these last year. Take care all, The
plugs will be posted out next week I will post a message on the group as and
when I have posted them all. 73 good DX,
