Patent Images
1. An electrical connector adaptor comprising:
- a generally cylindrical tubular housing having first and second ends;
a female portion formed at said first end of said housing, said female portion having a pair of radially outwardly extending posts formed on the outer surface of said housing at said first end, said posts being adapted for receiving a locking portion of a BNC male connector portion;
a non-locking male connector portion formed at said second end of said housing, said non-locking male portion being adapted for insertion into a BNC female connector portion without locking thereto; and
, a rigid conductive shaft having first and second ends extending between said non-locking male portion and said female portion.

Abstract
A quick-connect connector adaptor for use between male and female portions of a BNC connector includes a body having mating male and female portions. The male portion of the adaptor may be inserted into the female portion of the BNC connector without locking thereto, thereby allowing quick connection thereto. A plurality of these adaptors may be mounted to a panel for simultaneous quick-connection to a plurality of connector portions of BNC connectors disposed on an electrical instrument. In this manner, a plurality of connections may be quickly and accurately made.
