MPN: DA140
The Digital Antenna DA140 Motorola Type Plug for RG8X is a precision RF connector designed for marine, automotive, and tactical communication systems that require secure, weatherproof antenna connections. This solder-on connector bridges professional-grade coaxial cable to Motorola-threaded antenna mounts, making it essential for operators who need reliable signal transmission in mobile radio installations. Whether you're upgrading a two-way radio system, installing a mobile CB or ham radio antenna, or maintaining tactical communication equipment, this connector ensures impedance-matched performance and corrosion resistance in demanding field conditions.
The DA140 features a direct solder construction that provides a permanent, low-loss connection between RG8X cable and Motorola-type antenna receptacles. RG8X cable, a 50-ohm semi-rigid variant, delivers superior shielding and reduced signal loss compared to thinner coax options, making it the preferred choice for high-frequency applications and long cable runs. The Motorola connector standard—also known as a mag mount or antenna base connector—ensures compatibility with countless mobile and base station antennas across military, emergency services, and commercial radio networks. Solder-on installation eliminates crimp-failure points, creating a robust joint that withstands vibration, thermal cycling, and salt-air environments without signal degradation.
Technicians and field operators benefit most from this connector when building custom antenna harnesses, repairing damaged cable assemblies, or integrating legacy Motorola equipment into modern radio platforms. Installation requires soldering skills and basic RF assembly knowledge; proper technique ensures air-tight joints that maintain the cable's 50-ohm impedance. The DA140's lightweight design (0.5 lbs per unit) makes it ideal for portable and vehicle-mounted systems where weight and space are critical. Compatible with any RG8X cable segment and any standard Motorola-threaded antenna mount, this plug delivers the reliability demanded by first responders, military communications specialists, and commercial radio technicians who cannot afford signal interruptions.
