A replaceable RF connector with replaceable fuse has a receptacle mounted on a housing, the receptacle having a cavity and a throughole to the interior of the housing. An RF connector has a connector end for connecting cables and/or adaptors, a receptacle end having a fuse cavity in electrical connection with the connector end, and a flange integral between the connector end and the receptacle end. The receptacle end is configured to slide into the receptacle cavity such that a fuse electrically mounted in the fuse cavity has a lead extending through the receptacle throughole for connection to a circuit internal to the housing. A retainer ring slips over the RF connector such that the connector end protrudes, and is attached to the receptacle such that the RF connector is secured in the receptacle by the flange.
