Peltola coax connector?

[DaveC]

This push-on connector is used in Tektronix equipment for board-to-board
signal connection. Was it ever available outside Tek?

Thanks,

Peltola connectors, or at least cables with the connector, are available
from Tensolite. Tek spun off their cables group and the spinoff was
acquired some years later by Tensolite.

Thanks, a.p.!

These are looking to be as popular as hen's teeth. Only one supplier...

A lot of equipment that I might think would be satisfied with the
Peltola style connectors have come to use SMA or SMB or SMC or MCX or
MMCX connectors. SMB, MCX, etc., seem like overkill to me compared to
the simplicity of Peltolas and Tek's earlier board-to-board coaxial
interconnects... but they are cheap and available everywhere.

Lemo has had really nifty high-density (not board to board but chassis
to chassis or chassis to instrument) coax connectors for decades too,
and while they have come to dominate in a few specific applications,
they really haven't caught on widely outside those specific niches.
