Subject: [volt-nuts] Question for Fluke 732A owners

Fluke used two different connector schemes for the DC input on 732A battery
packs.  The oldest units have a pair of banana jacks, and later units use a
3-pin connector made by Hypertronics.  My question concerns only the latter
(732A battery packs with the Hypertronics connectors).

The Hypertronics contacts are interchangeable between the panel mount
connector body and the plug body.  It is customary to build the panel mount
connectors with female contacts, and the plugs with male contacts.  However,
it appears that Fluke may have made at least some 732A battery packs with
male contacts in the panel mount connectors.

I'd be interested to know what is out there in the field.  If you have a
732A battery module with the Hypertronics 3-pin connector, could you please
look at the connector and let me know if the contacts are male or female?

Just to be painfully clear, I'm referring to the gold-plated metal contacts
only, not to the black plastic parts of the connector.  The gold-plated
metal contacts can be male (i.e., the metal part you can see is a solid pin)
or female (i.e., the metal part you can see is a hole that will accept a
pin).

Thank you,

Charles
