Hi Mike:

The HP DC semiconductor equipment uses these. They put "guard" on the interior shield where guard is driven with the same voltge that's on the center conductor. That way there's no leakage current between the center conductor and ground allowing very small currents to be measured.

Pomona has adapters from these to ordinary coax. There are two versions one used 2 lugs (5298)and the other used 3 lugs (5299). See:

Dave -

Thanks for the informative URL. I have been working for the military one way
or another for almost 40 years and I still do not recall seeing any. Like I
always say "tuition never comes cheap regardless of how you pay for it". So,
even if this project does not ever progress to where I would like it, I will
have learned something, and for that it was worth it. Thanks - Mike Mike B. Feher, N4FS

Regardless, like I said, this looks like it is going to be a project of
changing out all of the connectors. Attached are a couple of quickly taken
photos, reduced in resolution for quick access. One shows part of the rear
of the distribution amp whit the female sockets and the other the male end
of a terminating connector that came with the set. Seems everything I get

on
ebay turns into a project. I have seen isolated BNCs before, like on
Tektronix scopes, but these are new to me. But who knows, if I look hard
enough in the basement I just may find a bunch of mating sockets. Thanks


Mike,

These triax connectors are made by Trompeter, which was revealed by a bit of ebay searching. Here's the catalog:

http://www.trompeter.com/assets/product/PDF/T21-Military_Aero.pdf

They describe the history of the connectors in the PDF, if you're interested. It has a lot to do with MIL 1553B stuff.

PS Pasternack has an amusing reputation around our telescopes - their SMA adapters fall apart when looked at sideways, so we generally just toss 'em when we run into them.

PPS Look at the Pasternack website with any browser but IE, and the text in the menus doesn't render at all! It's impossible to navigate their site with Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, etc.
