These connectors (D-style shell same as regular 15, 25 and 
37-pin shells) with several coax inserts)
are an industry standard.  You can buy the connectors and 
pins from the likes of Digi-Key, Mouser and Newark.  They 
require a fancy crimping tool, but for just 3 contacts, you 
can probably solder or fudge it somehow.  AMP (now TTI) has 
excellent documents which you ought to be able to turn up at 
one of the above distributors.
