Gary,
Since I do high volumes of B-24 and B-36 testing, I use connectors vs.
Hardwiring.  The connector I use is an AMP part number 1-111212-1.  It is an
IDC connector, but I solder to the contacts and use larger diameter wires.  My
studies show about a 0.25 - 0.33 decade loss vs. hard wiring using these
connectors.  The connectors run about  $12-$14 each and are about a 6-8 week
lead time item.  I have some in stock if Charles is desperate.  Since the B-24
and the B-36 have the same contact finger layout, the same connector can be
used for either board.

I have a few ideas on designing connectors specifically for SIR testing.  Any
TechNet people interested in working with me on a new connector design?
