Hello,

My club uses a connector that I'm not familiar with. It's like an N-type connector, but uses a bayonet outer shell, like a BNC connector. I've posted some pictures at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rxve1baqohdyb74/AAAVMTdUuikeNz06oT2wTxLOa?dl=0

Can anyone tell me what this connector is called, so I can look them up? Is it a rare connector? I was told that it's a military standard. Are they still available? From who, if it's rare?


It's probably a "C" connector - without dimensions or a scale in the picture, it's hard to tell. Weatherproof, bayonet, good to 11GHz like an N.

about $40 each from Pasternack, $114 for Amphenol from Mouser.


There's also a 75 ohm BNC - but the Bayonet part is exactly the same size as a 50 ohm BNC.

The other possibilities are various high voltage BNC - some are larger in diameter, but a distinguishing feature is that the "nose" is longer to make the creepage distance between the connector longer.


[ someone probably got a "good deal" on surplus for those]
