##  TRU  connector  co  has at least 2 doz versions of a 7-16 DIN chassis 
female alone.   The latest versions have a huge chunk of teflon on the back end,
with a extra long back end pin, that is either entirely threaded, or has a 
transverse hole in it. That makes terminating to stuff like  silver plated cu 
strap a lot easier,
or any type of lug.   I just wrap the male connector with a lint free 
cloth..then tighten ...good  and tight.  Then the usual water proofing.

also the threads.  That works too.

Have to add a another vote for the 7-16 DIN series.   The N2MO station used them for just about everything to take advantage of cell site surplus, right down to the patch panel and polyphasers. Newer an issue and a snap to attach with the automated prep tool.

http://n2mo.org/temp/thumb_1205151434.jpg ; patch panel as an example.   Patch cables are Belden 9913F cable with right-angle 7-16 DIN connectors.
