PL259 Teflon, white center?

[Hawkeye351]

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?

Touch it with your soldering iron, the Teflon should be unaffected.

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.

Teflon is white. We use Teflon O-rings at work and they are all white.

Thank you guys, you all taught me something new.
