Believe they are called "MB" connectors. I've got a number of
adapters here with a straight "MB" connector on one end, a
couple of inches of coax, and a male BNC on the other.
$2.00 each + postage. The straight MB's should recycle easily.
The right angle MB's are more difficult as the end cap has to
be unsoldered.
