Help needed identifying an RF connector in old HP equipment
« on: November 17, 2018, 08:23:34 pm »
I have an old HP 5340A Frequency Counter here that I am attempting to rescue.

I found a missing interconnect cable amongst the many horrors and I just need some help in identifying the connector.
The other end of the cable is a SMB female, but can anyone tell me what connector type connects to the one shown in the attached pic?

The diameter of the smooth part is 3.75mm
Where does all this test equipment keep coming from?!?

Looks like SMC. I'm finding specs online for 3.6-3.7mm for the smooth OD of the jack barrel of it, so its close.

I'd say SMC as well.

Yeah, looks like you guys are right.
It matches up with what I've found too.

Thanks!
