[R-390] Re: Looking for a C adaptor

[ELDIM]

Hello Barry & Crew,
What I believe that you are looking for is a mini BNC which is
affectionately known as a Type MB Connector or in your case is an  MB RF
Adapter.  Then there is the MALE or FEMALE gender which may not be
politicially correct and so, a Male would be called a "Plug" and have a Pin,
and the Female would be the "Jack" and have a Socket.  I believe that AMP or
AMPHENOL made these adapters. They are rather scarce and I'm sure that they
are no longer manufactured, unless someone like PASTERNACK has resurrected
tham and had a batch made at their overseas plant. So if any one has any
PART NUMBERS, I'd be happy to run them and see what tyurns-up.
