You will find an extensive selection of end and centre insulators on this page. Besides the black egg type, all insulators are made of cast - and therefore stress-free plexiglass. The thickness of these insulators is 5mm, with the exception of the Mini-insulator, which is 8mm thick. These plexiglass insulators are totally UV-resistant, durable and inconspicuous. The insulators are cut using a laser beam, which results in clean, smooth and transparent edges. The holes for antenna wire are also de-burred.
Egg insulator:
For those of you who are looking for an alternative to the heavy, fragile ceramic egg insulators, I can offer one made of solid plastic. The insulator is about 70mm long and has a maximum diameter of 40mm. The weight is approx. 28g. As usual, both attachment holes are at 90 degrees to each other. Wide ribs lengthen the insulation path between the antenna wire and the supporting line. These insulators are clearly a case of overkill for DX-Wire.
Price: 0.60 euro each

Mini-Multi-Purpose-Insulator
This small "miracle" is 65x15x8mm and made from high tech polycarbonate (trademark makrolon). The insulator with its 20x5mm "long hole" enables multiple fixing possibilies and is an ideal tool for portable and DX-peditioneers. Please see extra page
"Mini-Insulator"
Price: 1.00 euro each
9.00 euro for 10 pcs
Loop feeder insulator
Created specially to simplify the construction of loop antennas. Pre-drilled for attachment of a SO259 socket and optionally a toroid. Very suitable for use with horizontal loops. Dimensions approx. 100 x 100 mm.
Price: 4.50 euro each
T - Insulator for 300 Ohm ribbon feeder
A handy insulator for use with 300 Ohm windowed ribbon feeder. Three small pieces of self-adhesive shrink tubing are attached to the feeder, which is than attached to the insulator with five cable ties. This insulator allows you to make a durable and weatherproof tension-carrying connection to antenna wire.
Price: 4.50 euro each
(inc. shrink tubing and cable ties)
Centre insulator
A compact centre insulator measuring 40mm x 80mm with holes drilled for a SO239 socket, most suitable for use when a balun or toroid is not required.
Price: 3.00 euro each
Universal centre insulator:
The antenna experimeter's favourite. Pre-drilled for a SO-259 socket. One or two 30-36mm toroids can also be fitted without problems. It's very easy to swap baluns on this insulator for quick comparisons. If Teflon Litze is used these baluns will be suitably weatherproof. Dimensions: 160 x 60 mm.
Price: 4.50 euro each
SO239 socket with stainless steel nuts and bolts, with solder lugs. 2.00 euro each
Teflon Litze AWG18, grey approx. 1square mm 1.70 euro per metre
Toroid TX 36/23/15 - 4C65, ideal for shortwave with 10 turns.
Dimensions: 36mm OD - 23mm ID - 15mm H, 6.90 euro each
Cable ties (UV-proof) can be supplied in any quantity: price on request
