Abstract

A multi-port, electrical connector (100) includes a housing (105) having cable ports (122–128) for coaxial cables (421–428) on a cable side (101) of the housing and male push-on ports (271–278) for female connectors (801) on a male side (202). Each cable port has nonstandard internal threads (160). Each coaxial cable is terminated with a cable adapter (120). A coaxial cable-cable adapter combination is removably secured to each cable port by a clamp nut (130) having nonstandard external threads (660). Each coaxial cable-cable adapter combination is individually field replaceable. Another multi-port electrical connector (1000) includes a housing (1005) having male, push-on ports (1021–1028) on a male side (1001) of the housing and printed wiring board (PWB) ports (1171–1178) on a PWB side (1102). Each PWB port includes a straight PWB pin (1181–1188) for insertion into a hole in a PWB (1301).
