Can you identify this connector
« on: January 21, 2023, 01:21:46 pm »
I purchased a Mini Circuits ZX76-31A-PPS+ off Ebay and I am trying to source the 10 way control connector. Mouser etc want £35.00 for a 1.5mtr cable, which is more than paid for the attenuator. I have seen the connector sometime ago but do not know what it is called in order to trace it.

The datasheet clearly notes that the connector is an SMA. Don't confuse it with RP-SMA, which is the standard connector for WiFi antennas.

Apologies I did not make myself clear. Yes  the unit is SMA, it is the 10 way connector for the control lines that I am trying to identify as per the attachment.

£35 is probably less than the value of the amount of time needed to track down the connector, never mind assemble it…

You can buy the cable from Ebay a little bit cheaper: https://www.ebay.de/itm/141848090347

But looks like some sort of a Sata connector.

E-Sata have different locking mechanism. This one seems to have also different height/width ratio.

Thanks all for your input folks.
The connector is now identified as an HRS connector that Mouser etc sell for around £2.50. It was identified by the owner of a Mini Circuits ZX76-31A-PPS+ .So my next order will include on of those.
