Generally, yes. I think there is a move away from the older R&S style
connectors of the big mainframe era. Which is good for us, because the
latter are EXPENSIVE (especially the ones for 400 Hz power).
Are these (R&S) the threaded aviation/military connectors?
My HP2116C came with a threaded-and-keyed-housing connector with 3
round pins in a triangle, one being longer than the others.
One of a large family of connectors with various housing diameters and
number of pins, which I've always taken to be primarily an aviation and
military-use family, but never known the name of.
I don't know if it was a special order on the HP2116 or standard (never
seen it on other HP equip), but I replaced it rather than try to find
the mate.
