SO-239 Bulk head fitting..

[Dave G.-2]

Does anyone know the size of the nut that secures a bulkhead SO-239
socket to a chassis?
Available at my local hardware store?

Dave,

It's 5/8-24, and not likely available at the hdwe store. For one thing, it
usually has to be very thin to work in bulkhead installations. The same
thread is used for N connectors, so ask around the local hams and see who
has a good junk box.

Depends on the screw thread surely?

I use M3 pan or countersunk screws usually brass, depends on the socket
some have countersunk/recess holes, on the chassis side a split washer
and/or a grounding tag and an M3 nut to secure.
