[R-390] Gender of connectors

[2002tii]

I noticed the other day some discussion regarding male vs. female 
connectors -- which is which.  The answer is always in the center 
conductor(s) -- look at the conductor itself, not the 
insulator/shield assembly it is mounted in.  If the center conductor 
is a solid pin or blade, the connector is male, no matter how it may 
be recessed and surrounded by shields, insulators, and the like.  If 
the center conductor is hollow or otherwise looks like something that 
would surround a pin or blade, it is female, no matter how "out in 
front" it may be presented.

Best regards,

Don
