Indeed there are.
I bought a box of 16 differnt power connectors (with 2 pins connected to
them, they fit into a socket on a cable that goes to my bench supply,
the whole lot is used for powering up devices with such connecotrs).
IIRC, 2 of itmes in said set of 1 are jack plugs (2.5mm, 3.5mm), so that
leaves 14 coaxial power connectors. And there are probably many not in
that colleciton

Which one? There are about a dozen different sizes...

What, no IEEE-488 for my test equipment? And no current loop with
283B plugs and 404B jacks for my PDP-10? Totally worthless! So much
