I recently ordered around 25 PL259 ends that were listed as Teflon center from American Radio Supply.

I've always thought the Teflon ends had a yellowish tan or brown center color while the plastic foam centers were all white.

Well, these are listed as Teflon, but they're white centers.
The part stamp on the ends is ARS 1184

Are there white Teflon center pl259's?
 

The yellowish tan I recall were the Amphenol. These are real good as long that you buy the genuine brand.

I buy my silver/teflon connectors from American Radio too and they've all been teflon.

Legitimate silver/teflon are very good too and less expensive.

I would be wary of the cheaper Chinese knock-offs I see on Ebay.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
