Reverse Sense TNC Connector

This is the third attempt to post this message. If this one posts, that means that the word $e* in a title or body of a message keeps it from posting.



I need a reverse-sense (reverse-$e*) TNC cable connector. Where you normally have a pointed male pin as the center conductor, I need the female pin in that location.



Pasternack has them for $15, but they have a $100 minimum. That's a lot of $15 connectors to waste.



Anybody else got another source?

Forgive me if you've seen four identical posts like this. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with my newsreader, but it seems not to like posts to these groups.

I need a reverse-sense TNC cable connector...where you would expect the male pointed pin to be there needs to be a female pin.

Pasternack has them for $15, but they also have a $100 minimum. That's a lot of $15 adapters. Anybody else got another source?

This is such an abstruse requirement for information it may require a request to the Universal Library of Knowledge Research Service:

the keywords are "reverse polarity."

The root of your problem is most probably the word "sex" on the subject...

No, the wireless LAN stuff has reverse-polarity connectors on it. All of mine are reverse-polarity SMA, but they're certainly there.

Wait a year and Digi-Key will have them.

I just did a Google for "reverse polarity TNC" and see lots of $3 to $5 connectors at catalog houses like Mouser etc. These seem to be popular for WLAN for some reason.

Yeah, I did too. I grew up in a microwave lab where they were always referred to as "reverse-sex" devices, and reverse polarity was reserved for bassackwards batteries. "Reverse polarity connector" got me about a hundred hits.

Thanks, gang...
