Results of talking with RF Industries: re: [R-390] Is this the same mini-BNC connector?

Tom,

Kind of cool to run into a "real" connector company like RF Industries.

The connector is fairly simple in design compared to the Amphenol (a bit
crude), but it is available and is reasonably priced. We used it for a mini
75 Ohm video connector on a microwave transmitter at work. It is
characteristically hard to mate, but stays put.

Buy a few and try them out. Again, the RFM-2000 straight male is designed
for 75 Ohm RG-59 sized cable. I suppose that somebody could figure a way to
make some kind of adapter to mini-coax, though.

Good luck,

Mike WB2UID
