Re:Does heating the center conductor damage it in any way??


OK,
My input on the matter. The center-conductor is a copper coated alloy(alloy). We are working with Mhz. When working in the high freq's we have a signal flow acrossed the surface of the center conductor(copper), this is called skin effect. When the copper coating is heated, it changes it's electrical property's. I haven't seen it show up on the sweep on new build, but who's to say that six months into the next season that odd problem's start showing up. As for suck-out, bull-shi_, the diameter of thr center conductor does not change when heated. Suck-out's occur when the seizure teeth do not bite, the fitting is not tight, or the center-conductor was never bitten. Gilbert fittings can not be pulled off a cable! Hot center conductor or not. I use Y-190's,it's only proper, but the rederick on this subject is funny. Call me stupid?
