Anyone know of a source of insulated chassis mounting ones? Unless I'm
missing something all the types I've come across are non insulated.

I've never seen them. I think the best thing to do would be to use
three nylon washers. One small one and two big ones. The small one
would fit inside the hole you cut in the chassis (to keep the
connector centered), and the two big ones mounted either side to keep
it all insulated.

Why do you want insulated ones?...

I've never seen them used like that in any application!..

I want to fit a satellite output on the same (home made) metal plate that
my ordinary UHF aerial is on - and was slightly worried about earth loops
as there are audio connections on there too and that's the ground I've
used - the UHF sockets are isolated. But if you reckon it's ok I'll go
ahead with a normal one.

I think you'd be best to try it and see Dave or you could use plastic
washers


I've never seen insulated F types, coaxial yes but not F's!..

Don't forget that satellite cables generally carry a DC Voltage from
the receiver up to the LNB to power it and to control things like the
choice of polarisation. But you must know all about that.

And - in my case - the rotator volts. According to the blurb the STB
output for these is short circuit protected, and it could be they are
totally isolated from any ground.

I'd be inclined to cut a "big" square hole in the metal plate, insert a
piece of paxolin and mount the 'F' types on that.

My thoughts too after the helpful replies. But I'll make that hole
circular as I've not that big a selection of square Q-Max cutters. ;-)

It needn't be big either - I'm only worried about a DC path.
