[Elecraft] P3 Loss of signal

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Does that mean they're interchangeable?

Charlie,

Your information about BNC pin size diameter used to be true but not so 
anymore.

These days the BNC center pin size is the same for 50 and 75 ohms.
The quote below is from 2004 so this change took place a long time ago.

I have access to some 50 ohm BNC sockets. However it must mate to a 75
ohm
plug. Since we are talking about video frequencies here I'm not worried
about mismatches etc.

What are the dimensional differences between the 50 and 75 ohm sockets?

Can anyone point to dimensioned drawings of both types including pin size
etc?
