Source for TNC connector pins?
I bunged a couple pins during install and hate to toss the rest of the $30+ kit just because the pin is missing. Digikey and Mouser both carry them but the minimum order is 750 (~$1500).
I don't think the BNC pins are compatible.

I have run into stuff like this before. Typically is is cheaper to just buy a new $23 TNC connector from SteinAir.

EDIT: They're not the correct pins, at least the ones that are depicted aren't. The search continues...

There's no rule that says you have to use the rest of the connector that you got in the kit. Find one that fits your cable, and install it. Throw away the one you lost the parts for.
Ebay isn't the only option, but $20 (or $200) for a $2 connector aren't the only options, either.

The above P/N is for RG58 cable. The DigiKey P/N for a similar connector that fits RG400 & RG142 (more common in GPS installations) is ARF1135-ND and list for $6.67 each. This is for a whole connector assembly, not just the center pin.

No, I think the TNC specifically mentioned in its datasheet for RG400 is this one at about $13 (ARF1683-ND) -

Thanks, All.
Looks like I'll be buying more kits but < $10 at Digikey is much better than the ACS price. Hopefully the quality is as good.
