[Amps] GenRad connectors

[Will Matney]

All,

I had heard that the old General Radio connectors, (GenRad connector), or part number GR 874 was no longer being made. IET who bought out part of the GenRad line wants to convert everything to BNC and all new products are using BNC is I recall. These are very good hermaphroditic type connectors which can just be plugged in and can be used up into microwave frequencies. On ebay, these things sell for a fortune from I guess where people think they are no longer being made. However, they are indeed being made by Delta Electronics. You can buy the standard coaxial connectors, or the between series connectors, T's, etc. They have a downloadable catalog, and you can order a printed one or on a CD. I just looked into this where I needed a couple that were GR 874 to BNC and ran across Deltas website. They are the only one I know making them.
