This shows a 2-coax version of that connector on the IF section of
a
spectrum analyzer like mine:

"J3 connector mates directly with the plug-in RF Section. Some
care
is needed to avoid damaging this connector."

The RF section plugs into the top of it, then both together slide
into
the main frame. Someone had spare plug-ins at the ham flea market a
few weeks ago and showed me how they go together. I guarantee you
that
not every electronics company engineers the mechanicals like this
as
well as HP and Tektronix.

What do the male coax plugs look like? I bet they are a bitch to
work with too!

They look like you don't want to mess with them either.
