I need coax cable connector ID

[Scott Johnson]

The connectors you speak of are a british design, and are difficult to
find in the US.  They were used prior to the type N on higher frequency
equipment such as IFF, glideslope receivers, etc.  You may be able to
get them new in England, I just happen to stumble into them occasionally
in my work.  The type HN is a much newer connector, used in high
frequency, high voltage applications.  It is essentially a high voltage
wersion of a type N, about 30% larger in diameter. A good place to start
looking for the british connectors might be on the WS-19 group, these
guys operate sets that use the connectors you speak of.
