I alos like Samtec, but their prices has been kreeping up over the
last number of years. Every time we buy the price is up from the
previous time.
There are quite a few pretty standard connector families that can take
coax pins. D-Type and Din 41612 to name 2. You can also try Nicomatic.
They make small connectors which can take coax pins. They can do a
custom connector for quite cheap. Less than US$500 if I recall
correctly for NRE charges.
