NOTE: European mfg. (like FCT) sell both 4-40 (English) and M3 (metric hardware). Purchase correct size. In addition to Sliding latch, you will also find plastic and metal dust caps. That may be of interest for other Lucent RFTG-u owners. CAUTION: D-subminiature latches should only be used in permanent or non-mobile equipment. WHY? I watched computer equipment (tens of thousands of $$) -- dropped to floor -- by the pulling of cable (wiring tech -- reassigned after incident). gb Sent from iPad Air > On Jun 10, 2017, at 4:32 PM, Gregory Beat <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jerry - > > I noted that no one answered your query from April. > D-subminiature connectors were introduced by Cannon in 1952. > https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature > > That "sliding lock" (or latch) method for attachment was common with AUI > connections (15-pin size) for the original Ethernet (10-Base-5) in late > 1970s and 1980s. > > SPEC DETAILS matter here, you require 9-pin (DE-9 style). > Pull up the Data sheet for the mfg. you select (FCT, Harting, NorComp), > to assure you purchase all necessary pieces required. > > Mouser Electronics carries these parts. > http://www.mouser.com/Connectors/D-Sub-Connectors/D-Sub-Tools-Hardware/_/N-9gyd6?P=1z0yhcsZ1yz0n4z > > Digi-Key also carries these "locking" parts > https://www.digikey.com/products/en?mpart=09670009914&v=1195 > Example drawing (Harting) > https://b2b.harting.com/files/download/PRD/PDF_TS/09670009914_BL01_R29760_100198914DRW002A.pdf > > good luck ....
