Marine Antenna Connector
The Shakespeare PL-259-58-G is a gold-plated brass connector designed for marine VHF antenna installations. It suits boat owners and marine technicians who need a reliable RF link between RG-58 coaxial cable and a standard PL-259 socket. The solder-type design ensures a secure joint for permanent rigging.
Build Integration Requirements
This connector terminates RG-58 coax and includes a UG-175 adapter for fitting smaller cable diameters. A DooDad® cable strain relief is supplied to protect the solder joint from vibration and flex. Installation requires soldering tools and heat-shrink or tape for weather sealing; no crimp tool is used.
Sustained Signal Performance
Gold-plated brass contacts resist corrosion from salt spray and humidity, maintaining low insertion loss over long deployments. The strain relief reduces mechanical fatigue at the cable entry point, preventing intermittent faults caused by vessel motion. The assembly is intended for continuous outdoor exposure on mast or rail mounts.

Questions about this item
How well does the gold-plated brass on the PL-259-58-G resist corrosion during extended saltwater exposure?
The connector uses gold-plated brass specifically chosen to withstand marine elements and minimise signal loss caused by corrosion.
Does the PL-259-58-G generate any heat or electrical noise when the radio transmits continuously?
As a passive gold-plated brass connector it produces no heat or noise of its own; any warmth comes from the coaxial cable or transmitter.
Which coaxial cable and tools are required to install the PL-259-58-G?
It is designed for RG-58 coax and needs a soldering iron for the PL-259 body plus the included UG-175 adapter and DooDad strain relief.
