What's the name of this RS232 hardware item?

[Hank Fenster]

What's the official name for this thing? It's a hex nut with a threaded tail
that's used to mount RS232 receptacles and allow the mating plug's holding
screws something to screw into. I'd like to buy some of these, but have no
idea what to ask for.

The CPC/Farnell catalogue (UK) calls them "Jack Posts for D Connectors". The
things that screw on them are called "Jack Screws" or "Finger Jack Screws".

By the way, how many do you need? I have hundreds if not thousands of
these, some already salvaged and in plastic bags, some still waiting
to be salvaged on cable assemblies.

If you don't need an unreasonable number, I'll happily mail them to
you in return for a postcard from your home city.

I only need a dozen or so for some prototypes I'm building. Thanks very much
for the offer, but I'm preparing an order with Digikey for some other items
I need, and these can't cost more than a few cents each, if I can just
figure out what name they use to identify them.

Finally found it by paging thru the Digikey catalog D-Sub section. Digikey's
term for it is "female screwlock assembly". Just in case anyone else is
trying to find it.
