Is that because of the crimping or the failure of the insulation?

Subject: A little more info on Shakespeare solderless PL259 connectors

Hi, all.

For those interested in the Shakespeare solderless PL259 coax connectors 
I've been discussing, I talked to a guy from Shakespeare Technical Support 
this afternoon, and he told me that the connectors will only handle up to 
500 watts.  So, I guess it would be wise to limit the connectors to 
situations where relatively low output power levels are involved.

I hope this info helps someone.

I'll let you know my experiences when I try out one of the connectors, 
hopefully this week-end.
