Hi everyone!
I'm a newcomer and I'm a little bit desperate looking for a special coaxial connector.
I'm designing and building a coaxial tube for a testing scattering parameters in a DUT.
I found the APC7 (Amphenol Precision Connector 7mm, sexless, BW 18GHz), which fits very well in my design.
And they're common in the test and measurement field, in VNA calibration kits, for instance, because of the low reflections.
The important mechanical, and, I guess, rare feature is that the inner conductor is threaded
(on the side connecting the cable, or in my case a rigid metal rod).
Specifically, its a bead contact with the cable side threaded to mate with a coaxial rigid airline.
But, I had problems in purchase it from several vendors. So, my questions are:
* Do you know any vendor or reseller from which I could get this APC7 (few quantity, 2-4 units)?
* Do you know any connector (in principle reaching 18GHz) which has a threaded inner conductor, like APC7?
I've inserted a link to the Amphenol RF web page where you can find the specs and drawings of the APC7 among others.

I hope that I have expressed my problem clearly,
and many thanks in advance for your help.
