Hello,

I am looking for some (apparently) special coax connectors for my Apollo (now Garmin) nav/coms. The old connectors are made by Delta Electronics Manufacturing Corp., part number 4205018N995-000, and are slip-on on one side with a metal flare to help guide the radio coax connector into place, then a center-wire solder and twist-on shielding connection the other end. There are two rectangular flanges for mounting to the nav/com tray.

I am told that these are standard for the older Apollo radios but they are somewhat difficult to come by. If anyone is selling any or knows of anyone who has any, i would appreciate it.

These connectors float on the tray, which also helps for easy alignment when sliding the radio into the tray. I just need new connectors so I can switch to my RG400 coax from the RG58. Let's see if I can add some photos.

Why go to all the bother of upgrading to RG400 for nav/coms?? They are
in the 108-137MHz range, where there is not much performance difference
between the RRG-58 and RG-400. Properly installed RG58 with decent
antennas can give over 100nm range. How much more do you need??

Quick hint...you can use the same connector! That said, if you'd like new
connectors we keep them in stock....

Cheers,
